Systems and methods for receiving coupon and vendor data

Abstract

Systems and methods for receiving product data for products featured in a media asset are described. In some embodiments, the system includes control circuitry that receives from a server data for a plurality of products featured in a media asset. The control circuitry generates for display a list including the plurality of products. The control circuitry determines whether a product in the list is associated with a coupon and/or a preferred vendor. The control circuitry visually distinguishes the product from other products in the list in response to determining that the product is associated with a coupon and/or a preferred vendor.

1 . A method for receiving coupon and vendor data, the method comprising:
 receiving, from a server, data for a plurality of products featured in a media asset;   generating for display, using control circuitry, a list including the plurality of products;   determining, using the control circuitry, that a product in the list is associated with at least one of a coupon and a preferred vendor; and   in response to the determining, visually distinguishing the product from other products in the list.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining, using the control circuitry, that the product in the list is associated with the at least one of the coupon and the preferred vendor comprises:
 retrieving, from a memory, a profile for a user;   determining, using the control circuitry, that the profile includes the at least one of the coupon and the preferred vendor; and   determining, using the control circuitry, that the at least one of the coupon and the preferred vendor included in the profile is associated with the product.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the coupon is received from a vendor offering the product for purchase. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the coupon is received from one of an e-mail account, a t-commerce account, and a social media account for a user. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the coupon is received at an e-mail account for a user from a vendor offering the product for purchase and transferred to a t-commerce account for the user. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein visually distinguishing the product from other products in the list comprises:
 generating for display, using the control circuitry, an icon for the product in the list.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein visually distinguishing the product from other products in the list comprises:
 generating for display, using the control circuitry, a highlight for the product in the list.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein visually distinguishing the product from other products in the list comprises:
 generating for display, using the control circuitry, the list including the product in a color different from one or more colors for the other products in the list.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein visually distinguishing the product from other products in the list comprises:
 generating for display, using the control circuitry, the list including the product above the other products in the list.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 generating for display, using the control circuitry, one of a video clip and an image for each product in the list, wherein the one of the video clip and the image include a scene from the media asset featuring the product.   
     
     
         11 . A system for receiving coupon and vendor data, the system comprising:
 control circuitry configured to:
 receive, from a server, data for a plurality of products featured in a media asset; 
 generate for display a list including the plurality of products; 
 determine that a product in the list is associated with at least one of a coupon and a preferred vendor; and 
 in response to the determining, visually distinguish the product from other products in the list. 
   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to determine that a product in the list is associated with at least one of a coupon and a preferred vendor is further configured to:
 retrieve, from a memory, a profile for a user;   determine that the profile includes the at least one of the coupon and the preferred vendor; and   determine that the at least one of the coupon and the preferred vendor included in the profile is associated with the product.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the coupon is received from a vendor offering the product for purchase. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the coupon is received from one of an e-mail account, a t-commerce account, and a social media account for a user. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the coupon is received at an e-mail account for a user from a vendor offering the product for purchase and transferred to a t-commerce account for the user. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to visually distinguish the product from other products in the list is further configured to:
 generate for display an icon for the product in the list.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to visually distinguish the product from other products in the list is further configured to:
 generate for display a highlight for the product in the list.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to visually distinguish the product from other products in the list is further configured to:
 generate for display the list including the product in a color different from one or more colors for the other products in the list.   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to visually distinguish the product from other products in the list is further configured to:
 generate for display the list including the product above the other products in the list.   
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
 generate for display one of a video clip and an image for each product in the list, wherein the one of the video clip and the image include a scene from the media asset featuring the product.
