Services for increasing the utility of electronic wish lists

This system helps people buy gifts by keeping track of a user's electronic wish list. Its main function, as claimed, is to predict when a user's annual gift-giving event, such as a birthday, is approaching. It does this by analyzing past gift purchase dates for that user to infer the timing of the event.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced machine learning was widely applied to consumer data. The claimed inference of gift-giving events from purchase history is now significantly more accurate and scalable with modern predictive analytics.
