Wish lists based on images, references, or third party beneficiaries
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented system that generates a wish list for a shopper based upon one or more images, the system comprising:
- a computing device having a processor and a memory, the processor configured to execute;
an interface component that receives an image that includes a representation of an item desired by a shopper and receives contextual input comprising at least a portion of user-generated text, the image being received from an image capture device;
an entity component that identifies the representation of the item desired by the shopper included in the image based at least in part on the contextual input;
a feature extraction component that extracts features of the item discernible in the representation in order to match the representation to a catalog item for sale by a vendor, the catalog item comprising a service-based catalog item; and
a list creation component that populates a wish list with the catalog item and accesses a profile associated with the shopper in order to tailor the catalog item to the shopper.

Abstract
The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can create a wish list based upon a variety of inputs and criteria. In one aspect the architecture can generate a wish list based upon one or more images of an item desired by a user. Accordingly, the architecture can examine the image to identify the desired item and to extract relevant features from the item in order to, e.g., match the imaged item to a catalog item for sale by a vendor. In another aspect, the architecture can access information associated with a third party to build a wish list for a user. Appreciably, according to the particular aspect, the wish list can include items that are designated to a particular beneficiary.
