FIELD

Embodiments described herein generally relate to wearable computing. More particularly, embodiments relate to data services provided for wearable devices.

BACKGROUND

It is often realized that consumer shopping is a task that requires an abundance of time. Shoppers once relied on a familiar salesperson, such as an owner of a local general store, to assist in finding desired items for purchase. Drawing on knowledge of a customer enabled the salesperson to quickly locate a suitable product, as well as suggest additional items the customer hadn't thought of purchasing.

A new generation of consumers lead busy lives and have become accustomed to expect a personalized experienced while shopping, socializing and watching content online. However, shorthanded, and often poorly informed, floor staff at many retail stores cannot replicate the personal touch that shoppers once relied on. Thus, consumers find researching and shopping on the Internet far more convenient than brick-and-mortar visits. As a result, foot traffic to brick- and-mortar stores has been on a continuous decline. For instance, according to retail analytics, store traffic during the 2014 holiday shopping season was down 7%, another down year in a string of down years.

At processing block 530, a consumer wearing device 100 picks up a BLE signal from a beacon 410 upon the entrance to the retail store. Subsequently, application 110 on wearable device 100 prompts the consumer to share a fashion profile with one of the store associates. In such an embodiment, the consumer is presented with concierge information collected at processing block 510. Figure 6C illustrates one embodiment of the process performed at processing block 530. At processing block 540, the consumer approves sharing their fashion profile for a period of time (e.g. 10 minutes) if interested in personal assistance from the concierge. Upon consumer's approval the personalized fashion analytics is delivered to concierge application 255 at device 250. Figure 6D illustrates one embodiment of the process performed at processing block 540.

At processing block 550, a concierge attaches notes to the consumer's fashion profile upon completion of shopping experience, which are uploaded to profile server 282. For example, a note may indicate customer's purchasing intent of a particular product. In such an embodiment, the consumer has an opportunity to review and edit/delete notes at profile server via application 110. The consumer may subsequently use application 110 to rate their in-store shopping experience with one touch on device 100. Figure 6E illustrates one embodiment of the process performed at processing block 550. At processing block 560, customer service managers may access profile server 282 for real time updates on how their stores and individual associates are rated at customer service via an analytics dashboard. Figure 6F illustrates one embodiment of such an analytics dashboard.

At processing block 570, a retailer, via advertisement module 284, generates targeted advertising campaigns personalized in accordance with a customer's fashion profile, delivers personal advertisements (from the private ad network software) to application 110 at a consumer's device 100 and measures accurate click- through rate and purchase intent. Figure 6G illustrates one embodiment of the process performed at processing block 570.

The above described the personalized shopping mechanism optimizes a person-to-person aspect of shopping experience. The power of personal recommendation from a human stylist that has detailed knowledge of the customer's tastes and preferences is a key aspect of shopping experience that cannot be matched online. The ability of retailers to

continuously monitor and drive improvements into their customer service via real-time analytics significantly improves customer satisfaction, brand loyalty and will ultimately attract more customers into the stores
