The claimed sequence of operations

  1. 01Establish communicationRetailer-associated primary device ↔ consumer-associated secondary devices
  2. 02Access previously collected user dataDatabase of prior data on secondary-device users
  3. 03Match notification to consumerBy a matching engine, on analysis of previously collected data
  4. 04Determine consumer locationRelative to the geographical location associated with the primary device
  5. 05Apply retailer specificationsIncluding preferred consumer demographics
  6. 06Apply geographic conditionOnly when located at the location, region or distance
  7. 07Apply temporal conditionOnly at the time or period specified by the secondary devices
  8. 08Automatically disable / enable communicationConditioned on the location and time state
  9. 09Allow relevant notificationSending permitted only when both conditions are satisfied

The significance of Claim 10 lies in the claimed combination of operations. Individual location functions should therefore not be considered in isolation.
