Abstract
In various example embodiments, a system and method for sketch based queries are presented. A sketch corresponding to a search item may be received from a user. At least a portion of the sketch may be generated by the user. An item attribute may be extracted from the sketch. The item attributed may correspond to a physical attribute of the search item. A set of inventory items similar to the search item may be identified based on the extracted item attribute and a search scope. The identified set of inventory items may be presented to the user.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- at least one processor of a machine;
- a user interface module to receive a sketch that corresponds to a search item from a user, the sketch being at least partially generated by the user, and
- an analysis module, executable by the at least one processor of the machine, to:
- extract an item attribute from the sketch, the item attribute corresponding to a physical attribute of the search item, and
- identify a set of inventory items similar to the search item based on the extracted item attribute and a search scope;
- the user interface module is further to cause presentation of the identified set of inventory items to the user.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a sketch corresponding to a search item from a user, the sketch being at least partially generated by the user;
- extracting an item attribute from the sketch, the item attribute corresponding to a physical attribute of the search item;
- identifying, using a hardware processor, a set of inventory items similar to the search item based on the extracted item attribute and a search scope;
- and
- causing presentation of the identified set of inventory items to the user.
A non-transitory machine readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a sketch corresponding to a search item from a user, the sketch being at least partially generated by the user;
- extracting an item attribute from the sketch, the item attribute correspond to a physical attribute of the search item;
- identifying a set of inventory items similar to the search item based on the extracted item attribute and a search scope;
- and
- causing presentation of the identified set of inventory items to the user.
