Abstract

There are provided systems and methods for a communication device interface for merchant check-in and shopping notifications. A user may enter shopping preferences to a module of a communication device in order to receive notifications and alerts when items matching the shopping preferences are available with one or more merchants. A service provider may receive the shopping preferences with user attributes, such as a user location and/or account balance. The attributes may be determined using applications and/or modules of the communication device or through a check-in by the user at a location. The service provider may determine shopping notifications having purchase offers for the items from available merchants. The purchase offers may include offers to sell the items and discounts for the items. The shopping notifications may be displayed to the user using a user device interface, such as cells within an application or mobile device home screen.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a non-transitory memory;
and
one or more hardware processors coupled with the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
determining a location of a user device of a user;
identifying a user profile associated with the user, wherein the user profile includes information corresponding to one or more user attributes or one or more shopping preferences, wherein at least a portion of the one or more shopping preferences are associated with an account of the user;
determining a plurality of data corresponding to one or more items based on the user profile associated with the user;
generating a plurality of cells each in individual sections of a user interface of an application on the user device;
associating each of the individual sections with an individual item from the one or more shopping preferences based on the location of the user device;
determining a first portion of data of the plurality of data to provide for display in one of the plurality of cells in the user interface, wherein the determining the first portion of data is based on identifying one or more interface display preferences associated with the user;
generating user interface data for the first portion of data based on the one or more interface display preferences and a layout of the user interface in the application;
and
updating, in the user interface of the application while the user is at the location, the one of the plurality of cells of the user interface with the first portion of data based on the user interface data independent of updating other ones of the plurality of cells while the user is at the location.
