Method, medium, and system for price updates based on shake signatures of smart price tags
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for determining a current price of a first item for sale via an attached first smart price tag, the method comprising:
- detecting, using a shake signature detector, a user signature motion of the first smart price tag, wherein the user signature motion is a specific shaking pattern;
determining that a representation of the detected user signature motion is not registered, and in response to said determining, mapping the representation of the user signature motion to a user profile handle;
receiving, at a back-end price server, a request for the current price of the first item for sale and the representation of the user signature motion from the first smart price tag, the first smart price tag associated with the first item for sale;
determining the current price of the first item for sale based on the user profile handle mapped to the user signature motion; and
wherein the first item for sale and first smart price tag are physical objects.

Abstract
Various embodiments determine a dynamic price of a first item for sale via an attached first smart price tag. The back-end price server receives a request for a current price of the first item for sale and a representation of a user signature motion from the first smart price tag, the first smart price tag associated with the first item for sale. The back-end price server determines the current price of the first item for sale for a user profile handle mapped to the user signature motion. The current price of the first item for sale is sent to at least one of the first smart price tag or a mobile device associated with the user profile handle. The request for a current price of the first item for sale is initiated by shaking the first smart price tag using the user signature motion.

10. A back-end price server for determining a current price of a first item for sale via an attached first smart price tag, the back-end price server comprising:
-
a memory storing computer instructions; a communication interface; a processor, operably coupled with the memory and the communication interface, which detects, using a shake signature detector, a user signature motion of the first smart price tag, wherein the user signature motion is a specific shaking pattern; determines that a representation of the detected user signature motion is not registered, and in response to said determination, mapping the representation of the user signature motion to a user profile handle; receives a request for the current price of the first item for sale and the representation of the user signature motion from the first smart price tag, the first smart price tag associated with the first item for sale; determines the current price of the first item for sale based on the user profile handle mapped to the user signature motion; and wherein the first item for sale and first smart price tag are physical objects. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer program product for determining a current price of a first item for sale via an attached first smart price tag, the computer program product comprising:
-
a non-transitory storage medium, readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising; detecting, using a shake signature detector, a user signature motion of the first smart price tag, wherein the user signature motion is a specific shaking pattern; determining that a representation of the detected user signature motion is not registered, and in response to said determining, mapping the representation of the user signature motion to a user profile handle; receiving, at a back-end price server, a request for the current price of the first item for sale and the representation of the user signature motion from the first smart price tag, the first smart price tag associated with the first item for sale; determining the current price of the first item for sale based on the user profile handle mapped to the user signature motion; and wherein the first item for sale and first smart price tag are physical objects. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
