Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and corresponding systems for facilitating a live registry event between a shopper and one or more remote viewers. In the live registry event, the shopper, registers for gifts that they would like to receive while sharing their registering experience with the viewers in real-time. When the user registers for an item, a server system allows the viewers to purchase the gift for the shopper.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- facilitating, by a server system, a registry event comprising an experience-sharing session, wherein the experience-sharing session is between a sharing device and one or more viewing devices, and wherein the sharing device comprises a wearable computing device having an audio-capture device arranged to capture audio data when the wearable computing device is worn;
- receiving, by the server system, as part of the experience-sharing session, content capturing an experience corresponding to the sharing device, wherein the received content comprises at least real-time audio data based on the audio data captured by the audio device;
- determining, by the server system, one or more indications of one or more items of interest and responsively adding the one or more items of interest to a registry list;
- determining, by the server system, at least one portion of the received real-time audio data that corresponds to at least one item of interest;
- providing, by the server system, real-time updates of the registry list to the one or more viewing devices, as the one or more items of interest are added to the registry list;
- receiving, by the server system, a purchase request from at least one viewing device for a selected item of interest from the registry list;
- and
- in response to receiving the purchase request, the server system initiating a purchase transaction process to bill at least one account associated with the at least one viewing device and to provide the selected item of interest to a user of the sharing device.

The method of claim 5, wherein providing the real-time updates of the registry list further comprises, in response to initiating the purchase transaction process, updating the presented registry list with a notification that the selected item of interest is purchased.
The method of claim 7, further comprising:
- in response to initiating the purchase transaction process, adding an entry for the selected item of interest to a list of purchased registry-items, wherein the entry for the selected item of interest identifies the at least one viewing device associated with the at least one billed account;
- and
- at a specified time after the registry event, providing, to the sharing device, the list of purchased registry items.
A server system, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
- at least one processor;
- program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium and executable by the at least one processor to cause the server system to:
- (i) facilitate a registry event comprising an experience-sharing session, wherein the experience-sharing session is between a sharing device and one or more viewing devices, and wherein the sharing device comprises a wearable computing device having an audio-capture device arranged to capture audio data when the wearable computing device is worn;
- (ii) receive, as part of the experience-sharing session, content capturing an experience corresponding to the sharing device, wherein the received content comprises at least real-time audio data based on the captured audio data;
- (iii) determine one or more indications of one or more items of interest and responsively add the items of interest to a registry list;
- (iv) determine at least one portion of the received real-time audio data that corresponds to at least one item of interest;
- (v) provide real-time updates of the registry list to the one or more viewing devices, as the one or more items of interest are added to the registry list;
- (vi) receive a purchase request from at least one viewing device for a selected item of interest from the registry list;
- and
- (vii) in response to receiving the purchase request, initiate a purchase transaction process to bill at least one account associated with the at least one viewing device and to provide the selected item of interest to a user of the sharing device.
