Managing interactions of products and mobile devices

Abstract

Sensors may detect a user's locations and interest level of a product. Based on the interest level, messages may be sent to a server in order to obtain information, such as location, about a category of products and further display the obtained information to a mobile device.

         7 . A system comprising:
 an electronic tag; and   a server communicatively connected with the mobile device, the server comprising:
 a processor; and 
 a memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
 detecting, via communications to a mobile device from an accelerometer in the electronic tag on a first product, that the first product has moved; 
 receiving social media information about the first product, wherein the social media information indicates that a user associated with the mobile device has an interest in the first product having a first type; 
 based on the communications and the social media information, obtaining information about the first product, a second product of the first type near the first product, and a profile associated with the user; and 
 based on the information obtained about the first product, the second product, and the profile, providing an offer to purchase the second product to the mobile device, wherein the mobile device displays the offer to the user; and 
 providing instructions to the mobile device to display a heat map of a purchase pattern of a plurality of products of the first type near the first product. 
 
   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise providing instructions to display compatibility information between a component of the second product and a third product that is indicated as owned by the user based on the profile associated with the user. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7 , the operations further comprising:
 obtaining an indication of an acceptance of the offer for the second product; and   sending a message to a second electronic tag of the second product that indicates the acceptance of the offer for checkout for the user.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise sending a message to an unmanned vehicle to move to a location of the first product or the location of the mobile device. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise sending a message to a customer representative mobile device, wherein the message comprises information associated with a location of the first product or the second product. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the electronic tag comprises a gyroscope. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise detecting the interest in the first type of products from a shopping list on the mobile device. 
     
     
         14 . A non-transitory, computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to effectuate operations comprising:
 detecting, via communications to a mobile device associated with a user from an accelerometer in an electronic tag on a first product, that the first product has moved;   receiving social media information about the first product, wherein the social media information indicates that the user has an interest in the first product having a first type;   based on the communications and the social media information, obtaining information about the first product, a second product of the first type near the first product, and a profile associated with the user;   providing instructions to the mobile device to display a heat map of a purchase pattern of a plurality of products of the first type near the first product; and   based on the information obtained about the first product, the second product, and the profile, providing an offer to purchase the second product to the mobile device, wherein the mobile device displays the offer to the user;   obtaining an indication of an acceptance of the offer for the second product; and   sending a message to a second electronic tag of the second product that indicates the acceptance of the offer for checkout by the user.
