Voice-based identification and recommendation of related products based on purchase trend

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor for performing a method for an audio-based user interface, the method comprising:

• accessing user preference data after receiving product relationship data associated with a first voice-based utterance that identifies a first product, wherein the product relationship data identifies a relationship between the first product and a second product indicated by a trend related to prior purchases of a second product in addition to the first product;
• comparing the user preference data with the product relationship data to identify the relationship between the first product and the second product and the trend;
• providing a second voice-based utterance that offers the second product for transaction processing in addition to the first product using an audio subsystem based on the comparing of the user preference data with the product relationship data;
• receiving a voice-based command from the audio subsystem based on the audio subsystem recording a voice of a user;
• and
• selecting the second product for transaction processing in addition to the first product based on the receiving of the voice-based command.

An apparatus for an audio-based user interface, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor that executes instructions out of the memory to:
• access user preference data after receiving product relationship data associated with a first voice-based utterance that identifies a first product, wherein the product relationship data identifies a relationship between the first product and a second product indicated by a trend related to prior purchases of a second product in addition to the first product;
• compare the user preference data with the product relationship data to identify the relationship between the first product and the second product and the trend;
• provide a second voice-based utterance that offers the second product for transaction processing in addition to the first product using an audio subsystem based on the comparing of the user preference data with the product relationship data;
• receive a voice-based command from the audio subsystem based on the audio subsystem recording a voice of a user;
• and
• select the second product for transaction processing in addition to the first product based on the receiving of the voice-based command.
