Granted Claim 10 · Method step I

Allowing the relevant notification to be sent to the consumer device

DIRECT PUBLIC EVIDENCE

Very strong for event-driven notification capability

01

Granted claim language

Verbatim · US12039568B2 · Claim 10

… to thereby allow sending of notifications to the one or more secondary user devices.

02

Claim requirement

Technical interpretation · not claim language

The method concludes with the permitted sending operation: the relevant, matched notification reaching the consumer device once both conditions are satisfied. This step closes the loop opened by the establishing-communication step.

03

Publicly disclosed Woosmap functionality

Woosmap's published sample application and commercial use-case material describe notifications generated when a user enters or exits monitored Points of Interest, and describe contextualising push notifications at the right time and in the right place. The engagement integrations document those events driving campaigns and journeys that deliver the consumer communication.

  • Notification on POI enter / exit in the sample application
  • Push notifications contextualised by place and time
  • Retail offer and click & collect workflows
  • Campaign / journey delivery via engagement platforms

Technical correspondence

Event-driven notification capability is comprehensively documented in the public record. The complete claim method nevertheless requires all limitations to be established: capability at the delivery step does not establish performance of the preceding matching, targeting and conditional-communication operations.

Evidence of United States performance

Matters for further review

Is there public evidence of Woosmap-triggered consumer notifications actually delivered within a relevant United States deployment?
