Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums, consistent with principles of some embodiments of the present invention provide for applying a user interface to an electronic device including storing information relating to a user of an electronic device, wherein the stored information includes user information data and user history data, storing a template user interface, modifying the user interface based on the stored user information and the user history data, and applying the modified user interface to the electronic device, wherein the user interface enables a user to instruct the electronic device to perform operations within a shopping establishment.

Claims

1. A method for applying a user interface to an electronic device comprising:

storing information relating to a user of an electronic device, wherein the stored information includes user information data and user history data;

storing a template user interface;

modifying the user interface based on the stored user information and the user history data; and

applying the modified user interface to the electronic device, wherein the user interface enables a user to instruct the electronic device to perform operations within a shopping establishment.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user interface includes an actuatable button for selecting a recipe based on user information and user history.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the user interface includes an actuatable button for accessing a shopping list.

5. An apparatus for applying a user interface to an electronic device comprising:

memory storing a set of instructions; and

a processor executing the set of instructions stored in memory to perform a method of applying a user interface to an electronic device, the method comprising;

storing information relating to a user of an electronic device, wherein the stored information includes user information data and user history data;

storing a template user interface;

modifying the user interface based on the stored user information and the user history data; and

applying the modified user interface to the electronic device, wherein the user interface enables a user to instruct the electronic device to perform operations within a shopping establishment.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the user interface includes an actuatable button for selecting a recipe based on user information and user history.

7. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the user interface includes an actuatable button for accessing a shopping list.

8. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the user interface displays advertisements based on user information and user history.
