This invention describes a system that integrates point-of-sale, online ordering, and store management functions, all accessible through web browsers. Specifically, it focuses on identifying a customer's mobile device when they are near a physical store and then using the store's Wi-Fi to let them place an order directly. The system can also provide personalized discounts or promotions based on the customer's past purchases or interests.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of sophisticated AI for personalized recommendations and the maturity of location-based services for dynamic network control. The ability to precisely target promotions and seamlessly enable self-service ordering via Wi-Fi has become significantly more refined and expected by consumers since 2016.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
