Independent Claim 10

Computer-implemented method

Independent Claim 10 protects a computer-implemented method combining retailer-to-consumer communications, previously collected consumer information, relevance matching, geographic conditions, retailer targeting criteria, temporal conditions and automatic conditional communication.

Granted Claim 10 · Method step F

Notifications sent only when the geographic condition is satisfied

Claim requirement

Technical interpretation · not claim language

This limitation is restrictive rather than enabling. Sending must be confined to the period in which the geographic condition holds; presence of the capability to send on a geofence event is insufficient unless sending is also withheld in the absence of that condition.

03

Publicly disclosed Woosmap functionality

Woosmap documents that no boundary event is produced while a device remains outside a monitored geofence, and that crossing the boundary generates the named enter event which is delivered to the application. The integration documentation records that these location events can be transmitted as custom events into engagement systems, where they act as triggers within automation and journey composers.

  • No event while outside the monitored region
  • Boundary crossing produces the event
  • Event delivered to the host application
  • Event usable as an automation / journey trigger

Conditional event behaviour

  1. 01Outside geofence — no entry event
  2. 02Device crosses boundary
  3. 03Geofence condition satisfied
  4. 04Event generated
  5. 05Downstream action / notification
04

Attribution of the claimed method step

Only where the public evidence permits

Woosmap Geofencing SDK

Publicly documented

Documented as evaluating the geographic condition and emitting an event only on boundary crossing.

Customer-engagement platform

Publicly documented

Documented as consuming the event as a trigger for downstream automation.

Deployment notification logic

Not established

Whether the outbound notification is itself conditioned on the event, rather than merely correlated with it, is implementation-specific.

Woosmap Geofencing — SDK concepts documentation

Definition of geofencing as monitoring of a geographic area to recognise device presence within a boundary; enter/exit boundary-crossing events; geofences representing a store, competitor store, neighbourhood or other point of interest; automatically generated store geofences; and isochrone (time-based) geofences monitored against estimated time of arrival.

Transmission of Woosmap Geofencing SDK events from Geofences, POI, Visits and ZOI contexts to Batch as custom events, expressly usable as a Custom Event trigger in the Automation and Journey composers.

Technical correspondence

The publicly documented behaviour is conditional by construction: the event exists only where the geographic condition is satisfied, so any workflow triggered by that event is necessarily gated on the condition. This aligns closely with the restrictive form of the limitation.

Evidence of United States performance

Matters for further review

Is there public evidence that notification delivery in a United States deployment is conditioned upon the Woosmap geofence event?

DIRECT PUBLIC EVIDENCE

Evidentiary limitation

Deployment analysis must confirm that notification delivery itself is conditioned upon the Woosmap event in the implementation under review.
