This describes a method for customers, especially children, to design and assemble their own custom toy vehicles directly in a retail store. Customers select different toy styles and accessories, each identified by an electronic code like a barcode. These codes are then scanned to record the customer's choices, allowing for a personalized toy purchasing experience beyond standard off-the-shelf options.
Why it matters: Filed before widespread consumer smartphone scanning of codes. The claims cover using electronic identifiers for customization, which is now easier with ubiquitous mobile devices and advanced retail technology for managing inventory and configurations.
