TECHNIQUES FOR EMBEDDING VIRTUAL POINTS OF SALE IN ELECTRONIC MEDIA CONTENT

摘要

A method for embedding a virtual point of sale in electronic media content. The method comprises: identifying product-related information of at least one product in the electronic media content, wherein the electronic media content does not explicitly offer to sell the at least one product; identifying at least one vendor having the at least one product in stock, wherein the at least one product is interrelated to the identified product-related information, wherein identification is based on an estimated inventory of each of the at least one product for each of the at least one vendor; generating a virtual point of sale based on the identified at least one vendor and the identified at least one product; and causing a display of the generated virtual point of sale on the electronic media content.
