Peer-assisted shopping

摘要

According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a method for peer-assisted shopping, the method includes initiating, on a first endpoint corresponding to a first user, a display of media content. The method also includes initiating, on the first endpoint, an interactive feature configured to allow the first user to interact with the first endpoint in response to the display of media content. The method further includes initiating, on the first endpoint, an option for the first user to invoke a communication request with at least a second user corresponding to at least a second endpoint. Moreover, the method includes, upon selection of the option, initiating a connection request with the at least a second endpoint.

1. A processor-implemented method for peer-assisted shopping, the method comprising:
executing a media container including a media player at a first endpoint compute device associated with a first user, the first endpoint compute device comprising one or more processors configured to execute the media player, the media player including an interface configured to display digital content including media content; and using the media player to:
initiate, at the first endpoint compute device, a display of media content in the interface, the media content being associated with one or more products or services;initiate, at the first endpoint compute device and in association with the media content, a display of one or more interactive features in the interface, at least one of the one or more interactive features configured to allow a transaction involving the one or more products or services without leaving the media container;in response to receiving a selection of at least one of the one or more interactive features in the interface, initiate, at the first endpoint compute device, a display of one or more options in the interface to invoke a data connection request; andin response to receiving a selection of at least one of the one or more options in the interface, initiate the data connection request to at least one second endpoint compute device associated with at least one second user, the data connection request configured to, upon confirmation of acceptance by the at least one second endpoint compute device, execute a media container on the second compute device, the media container executed on the second compute device including a media player and an interface configured to display digital content including media content and one or more interactive features.
