Abstract
Embodiments are provided for enhancing an in-store experience for a user of an electronic device. According to certain aspects, the electronic device initiates an in-store mode of an application when the electronic device is located within a retail store, where the in-store mode may enable certain functionalities having certain capabilities. The electronic device may detect when it connects to a network within the retail store and, in response, may indicate enhanced capabilities of the functionalities. The user may select an enhanced capability, and the electronic device may facilitate the associated functionality.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method in an electronic device of enhancing an in-store experience within a retail store, the method comprising:
- initiating, by a processor, an application associated with the retail store on the electronic device;
- displaying, via a user interface, an interface associated with an in-store mode of the application, the interface indicating an initial resolution quality of digital images to print;
- detecting that the electronic device connects to a network associated with the retail store;
- in response to detecting that the electronic device connects to the network, modifying the interface to indicate an increased resolution quality that is greater than the initial resolution quality;
- receiving a request for a digital image print order of a set of digital images having the increased resolution quality;
- and
- submitting, via a network, the digital image print order to a server to facilitate printing of the set of digital images having the increased resolution quality by at least one printer.
An electronic device comprising:
- a transceiver configured to connect to a network associated with a retail store;
- a user interface configured to display content;
- a memory storing a set of computer-executable instructions;
- and
- a processor interfacing with the communication module, the user interface, and the memory, and configured to execute the set of computer-executable instructions to cause the processor to:
- initiate an application associated with the retail store,
- cause the user interface to display an interface associated with an in-store mode of the application, the interface indicating an initial resolution quality of digital images to print,
- detect that the electronic device connects to the network associated with the retail store,
- in response to detecting that the electronic device connects to the network, cause the user interface to modify the interface to indicate an increased resolution quality that is greater than the initial resolution quality,
- receive a request for a digital image print order of a set of digital images having the increased resolution quality, and
- submit, via the transceiver, the digital image print order to a server to facilitate printing of the set of digital images having the increased resolution quality by at least one printer.
