Order Entry Graphical User Interface

This invention describes a system for taking orders remotely. A main computer stores a list of items, like a menu, and sends it to another computer, an "agent workstation." This agent workstation then displays the main list and allows an operator to create or modify a separate order list from a remote location, for example, in a restaurant or retail setting.

Why it matters: Filed in 2007, this concept predates the widespread adoption of smartphones and tablets as common "agent workstations." Today, advanced web and cloud technologies make building and deploying such remote order entry GUIs significantly easier and more cost-effective across diverse portable devices.
