SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CUSTOMIZING INFORMATION DISPLAYED ON TOUCH-SCREENS BASED ON LOCATION DATA

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for running a product trend application on a user device to obtain personalized product trend information from a service provider when making in-store purchase decisions. The user may use the product trend application to specify product trend information for products in a product category, for products purchased from a specific store, and/or for products purchased over a specified time period. The user device may obtain and transmit its current location to the service provider, which may provide a list of stores in the vicinity of the user device for which the product trend information is available. The user may also use the product trend application to select how the product trend information is filtered and displayed. Advantageously, the user may tailor the product trend information to the requirements of the user, such as to find the most popular product in a product category.
