AR-Guided Listing Creation with Boundary-Aligned Item Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing ecommerce platforms require users to manually create listings for selling items, resulting in varying quality due to user experience, knowledge, and skills, which affects the likelihood of successful sales.
Innovation Solution
An augmented reality system using artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate the creation of consistent, high-quality listings by identifying item categories, navigating users through AR environments, and generating listings based on historical data and image analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If users manually create listings, then the process is simple and requires no special equipment, but the quality of listings varies greatly depending on user experience and skills
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system consisting of AR glasses, image processing modules, and AI algorithms that mediate between the user and the listing creation process. This intermediary captures images through AR glasses, processes them to extract item characteristics, and generates standardized listings, thereby improving listing quality without requiring users to manually compile detailed information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual process of creating listings (typing descriptions, taking photos, manually measuring items) with an automated digital system using AR technology and AI image processing. The system automatically extracts characteristics from images and generates listings, substituting manual mechanical operations with automated computational processes.
2Manufacturing precision
If users manually create listings, then no additional equipment is needed, but listing quality is inconsistent and depends on user photo taking skills
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically capturing images through AR glasses, processing them to extract item characteristics, and generating listings without requiring user intervention in the technical processes. The AI system independently analyzes images, identifies item features, and creates standardized listings, making the process simple for users while ensuring consistent quality.
3Productivity
If manual listing creation is used, then the process is accessible to all users, but it increases the time required to create high-quality listings
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing images to extract characteristics before the user needs to create the listing. The AR glasses capture images, the image processing module automatically identifies item features, and the system prepares all necessary listing information in advance, significantly reducing the time required for users to manually compile and create listings.

AI summary
Provided herein are various embodiments for automating the creation of listings using augmented reality. An embodiment operates by identifying a template for a for sale object (FSO), selecting a first image of the one or more common images of the template, and determining a boundary of the first image. It is determined that a listing image of the FSO, through a camera of a computing device, is smaller than the boundary prior to taking the listing image through the camera, and instructions are provided to move the FSO to more closely align to the boundary. A command is provided to the camera to take the listing image of the FSO responsive to the detecting that the listing image of the FSO more closely aligns to the boundary. A listing for the FSO is generated using the listing image.
