20140279162 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING ASSET PROFILE INFORMATION IN CONNECTION WITH AN ONLINE AUCTION IN ORDER TO DETERMINE AUCTION OUTCOME AND/OR PRICING - An auction is conducted for an online auction environment. A set of characteristics are determined for a given asset of the auction, and asset profile information is determined for the given asset based on the set of characteristics. In particular, the asset profile information can be determined from one or more prior auctions provided at the online auction environment. The asset profile information can be based on one or more corresponding assets, each of which are deemed to be comparable to the given asset based on the one or more corresponding assets each having a set of characteristics that are similar to the set of characteristics of the given asset of the auction. A prediction is made as to whether the auction of the given asset will be successful based at least in part on the asset profile information. | 09-18-2014 |
20140279163 | PROFILING AUCTION ASSETS AND/OR PARTICIPANTS TO PREDICT AUCTION OUTCOME - A profile of one or more users of the online auction environment is developed. The profile of each user can be based at least in part on historical auction activity of that user. An auction of the online auction environment that is in progress is monitored. A prediction is determined as to whether the auction will be successful based at least in part on the profile of the one or more users that are participating in the auction. | 09-18-2014 |
20140289008 | SELLER INTERFACE FOR DISPLAYING STATUS OF AUCTIONS USING PREDICTIVE INFORMATION - One or more auctions of a seller are monitored. An interface is provided that includes auction event information for each of the one or more auctions of the seller. As an example, the auction event information can include a top bid, and an indication as to whether a reserve price has been met. Predictive information is determined for each of the one or more auctions of the seller. Information is displayed based on the predictive information using the interface. The displayed information can indicate a probability as to whether the auction will be successful. | 09-25-2014 |
20140289065 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AND UTILIZING NON-BIDDING ACTIVITY OF BIDDERS IN AN ONLINE AUCTION - The non-bidding activity of one or more bidders of an auction is detected over an online interface of the auction environment. The activity of the one or more bidders is detected while the one or more bidders are participating in the auction. The non-bidding activity is correlated to an interest metric for the auction. Information is communicated that is based on the interest metric. The information can be communicated to either a seller or a bidder of the auction. | 09-25-2014 |

20120299912 | AVATAR-BASED VIRTUAL DRESSING ROOM - A method to help a user visualize how a wearable article will look on the user's body. Enacted on a computing system, the method includes receiving an image of the user's body from an image-capture component. Based on the image, a posable, three-dimensional, virtual avatar is constructed to substantially resemble the user. In this example method, data is obtained that identifies the wearable article as being selected for the user. This data includes a plurality of metrics that at least partly define the wearable article. Then, a virtualized form of the wearable article is attached to the avatar, which is provided to a display component for the user to review. | 11-29-2012 |

20140160055 | WEARABLE MULTI-MODAL INPUT DEVICE FOR AUGMENTED REALITY - A wrist-worn input device that is used in augmented reality (AR) operates in three modes of operation. In a first mode of operation, the input device is curved so that it may be worn on a user's wrist. A touch surface receives letters gestured or selections by the user. In a second mode of operation, the input device is flat and used as a touch surface for more complex single or multi-hand interactions. A sticker defining one or more locations on the touch surface that corresponds a user's input, such as a character, number or intended operation, may be affixed to the touch surface. The sticker may be interchanged with different stickers based on a mode of operation, user's preference and/or particular AR experience. In a third mode of operation, the input device receives biometric input from biometric sensors. The biometric input may provide contextual information in an AR experience while allowing the user to have their hands free. | 06-12-2014 |
