    Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamically scheduling data processing are disclosed. An example method includes: identifying a data model to be built, the data model being associated with a data model definition defining input data to be used in building that data model; determining a size of the input data; obtaining an expected access time for the data model; estimating a total time required for building the data model based on the size of the input data and the definition of the data model; determining a time to start building the data model based on the expected access time for the data model and the estimated total time required to build the data model; and scheduling the building of the data model to start at the determined time.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically creating item records for physical items. The method may include receiving an image obtained using an image sensor; detecting a physical item in the image; extracting item data regarding the physical item by applying image analysis to the image; determining, using the extracted item data, whether a memory contains an item record for the physical item; and, when no item record for the physical item exists in the memory, generating and storing in the memory a new item record for the physical item in association with the extracted item data

    Abstract: Methods and systems for automatic installation of applications against a service instance of an online store are described. A change in status of a service instance for the online store is detected. A functionality associated with the changed status is identified, where the functionality is currently absent from the service instance. A software application is identified to provide the functionality. The identified software application is automatically installed against the service instance, to enable the functionality for the online store.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for modifying features of a user interface of an online store in a manner based on a location of a customer are provided. The preferences for the features are identified for various geographical regions. The modification may be performed in real time, in the sense that the modification is not performed until a customer from a different region attempts to access the store. When this happens, the features of the online store are modified based on preferences or trends associated with a geographical region within which the customer is located, and a revised user interface is presented to the customer. The overall effect is that the store with the new revised user interface emulates stores created by merchants native to the customer's region.

    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods for determining the value of display space in a retail store are provided. These values of display space are determined based on measured traffic densities in the retail store. Traffic density is used as a metric for real-world customer activity and customer patterns in the retail store. To determine traffic density, measurements are obtained from one or more sensors in the retail store, where the measurements include spatial information pertaining to a region of the retail store. Traffic density can provide a quantitative, accurate and unbiased metric with which to determine a value associated with displaying products in a region of the retail store.

    Abstract: It is sometimes necessary or desirable that a cursor on the screen of a first device be displayed on the screen of a second device. Methods are disclosed for displaying a cursor of a first user's device on the screen of a second user's device, even when the webpage displayed on the second user's device has a different layout from that webpage as displayed on the first user's device. In some embodiments, a first user's device transmits to the second user's device: an identity of an element on the webpage, and a distance measurement from a point associated with that element. The second user's device then displays the cursor on the screen of the second user's device at a location equal to the distance measurement from the point associated with the element.

    Abstract: System and methods are provided to regulate sales of a product in an online store using computer-implemented delays. The computer-implemented delays can, for example, help mitigate the use of bots in the online store, provide different customers with equal access to the product and/or provide certain customers with priority access to the product. According to an embodiment, a method includes receiving an indication that a user intends to purchase an item of a product in an online store, and determining a delay for a sale of the item to the user to regulate sales of the product. Before completing the sale of the item to the user, the delay is implemented in the online store.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for the generation of augmented reality (AR) scenery for a physical item. The AR scenery allows a customer to interact with the physical item in the real-world, while also allowing the customer to view the physical item in a virtual setting that may be tailored to the customer and/or to the physical item. According to an embodiment, an AR scene is generated for a physical item. The AR scene includes computer-generated scenery and at least a portion of an image of the physical item, where the computer-generated scenery is based on information associated with the user and/or the physical item. The AR scene is then displayed on a device. C= C-'N CoD cm L-J
