Automatic generation of native E-commerce applications for mobile devices

摘要

An online system generates customized mobile applications for e-commerce organizations. The online system obtains information about an organization from images and text displayed on a webpage of the organization. The online system additionally obtains updated lists of products or services from the organization via a data feed. An application that can run natively on a mobile device is automatically generated by incorporating the information about the organization as well as the data about product lists into one of a plurality of templates for e-commerce applications. The organization can provide users with the generated mobile application, e.g., as a way to view merchandise natively on a mobile device.
