US 2022/0012795 A1 · MIGRATION OF ELECTRONIC SHOPPING CARTS BETWEEN DEVICES

Abstract

Methods and systems are presented for facilitating migration of electronic shopping carts between devices. A user generates an electronic shopping cart based on interacting with a merchant website using a first device. In response to receiving a request for transferring the electronic shopping cart, cart data associated with the electronic shopping cart is obtained. The cart data is encoded, using a selected encoding technique, into a code, which can be a phrase, an emoji string, a QR code, or an image of a face that can be transferrable to a second device. The code is presented on the first device. In response to receiving the code from the second device, the electronic shopping cart is re-generated based on the cart data extracted from the code. The electronic shopping cart is made accessible to the user via the second device.

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:
receiving, from a first device, a request to export an electronic shopping cart associated with a merchant website displayed on the first device;
encoding the electronic shopping cart into a code;
causing the first device to present the code;
in response to receiving the code from a second device, re-generating the electronic shopping cart based on the code;
and
presenting the re-generated electronic shopping cart on the second device.

6 more elements

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

detecting that an electronic shopping cart has been generated based on interaction of a user with a merchant website using a first device;
in response to the detecting, presenting, on the merchant web site displayed on the first device, a selectable element for initiating a migration of the electronic shopping cart;
in response to receiving a selection of the selectable element, retrieving cart data associated with the electronic shopping cart;
encoding the electronic shopping cart into a code;
causing the first device to present the code;
in response to receiving the code from a second device, re-generating the electronic shopping cart based on the code;
and
presenting the re-generated electronic shopping cart on the second device.
