Electronic Device For Re-Ordering Items

摘要

In some cases, a method may include receiving electricity usage data from a re-ordering device and determining usage information for an appliance that is electrically connected to the re-ordering device based on the electricity usage data. The method may also include determining, based on the usage information and order history information for a customer, an estimated remaining quantity of an item that is associated with an appliance type of the appliance. The method further includes comparing the estimated remaining quantity of the item to a threshold associated with the item. In response to determining that the threshold associated with the item is satisfied, the method includes decrementing the estimated remaining quantity of the item. In response to determining that the threshold associated with the item is not satisfied, the method includes generating order data for automated re-ordering of the item for delivery to the customer.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
one or more computing devices comprising:
an analysis module;a customer module; anda re-order module; a re-ordering device comprising:
one or more electricity usage components to determine electricity usage data associated with an appliance that is electrically connected to the re-ordering device;a memory to store the electricity usage data and communication data;one or more communication interfaces for establishing a wireless connection with a wireless access point, wherein the one or more computing devices are configured to:
communicate at least one of a device identifier or a customer identifier received from the re-ordering device to the analysis module to determine a customer that is associated with the re-ordering device;communicate the electricity usage data received from the re-ordering device to the analysis module to determine an appliance type of the appliance that is electrically connected to the re-ordering device based on a plurality of signatures stored in an electrical signature database;communicate the appliance type to the customer module to determine, based on order history information for the customer, an estimated remaining quantity of an item that is associated with the appliance type;communicate the estimated remaining quantity of the item to the re-order module to:
compare the estimated remaining quantity of the item to a threshold associated with automated re-ordering of the item;decrement the estimated remaining quantity of the item in response to determining that the threshold associated with the item is satisfied; andgenerate order data for automated re-ordering of the item for delivery to the customer in response to determining that the threshold associated with the item is not satisfied.
