Abrégé

A system and related method for completing online transactions via mobile device includes a client-side e-commerce platform executing on the mobile device that identifies candidate items for purchase based on images related to an item desired by the user. The client-side platform determines attributes of the item based on an image captured by an onboard camera or otherwise stored on, or downloaded to, the mobile device. Purchase information for items offered by participating vendors, or third-party vendors, is retrieved by the platform via APIs of the vendor network or automated middleware respectively. The user may select items for purchase and complete the transaction via single click, and the middleware forwards payment details to the third-party vendors and retrieves purchase information and transaction records from the third-party vendors. The client-side platform generates a single transaction and invoice whether the selected items are purchased from in-network or third-party vendors.

Purchase information for items offered by participating vendors is retrieved by the platform via APIs of the vendor network. Purchase information for items offered by third-party vendors outside the network is retrieved by a middleware platform called by the client-side platform. The user may select items for purchase and complete the transaction via single click, whereby the middleware forwards payment details to the third-party vendors and retrieves pricing, inventory, and purchase information (as well as authorization codes and records of the completed transaction) from the third-party vendors. The client-side platform generates a single transaction and invoice whether the selected items are purchased from in-network or third-party vendors.

A system for clustering data comprises a database for storing a plurality of data items, a clustering unit comprising components operable to receive and cluster the plurality of data items, and output clustered data items. A method of clustering data comprises receiving a plurality of data items from a database; computing distances between each pair of data items in the plurality of data items; until a stopping criterion is reached, identifying key elements, merging data items not identified as key elements with the nearest key elements, updating the computed distances; once the stopping criterion is reached, outputting cluster identities of the plurality of data items.
