Granted Claim 1 · Element A
Retailer-associated system and communication with consumer devices
Strong / deployment dependent
Granted claim language
Verbatim · US12039568B2 · Claim 1a primary user device associated with a retailer operable to access and execute computer instruction code that, when executed, establishes communication between the primary user device and one or more secondary user devices associated with a consumer to thereby enable generation and sending of notifications to the one or more secondary user devices;
Claim requirement
Technical interpretation — not claim languageThe claimed architecture begins with retailer-associated infrastructure capable of interacting with consumer-associated devices and participating in the generation and delivery of consumer notifications. The limitation is architectural: it requires a retailer-side system and a consumer-side device standing in a communicative relationship that enables notification delivery.
Publicly disclosed Woosmap functionality
Woosmap publicly describes its Geofencing SDK as a component integrated into a business or enterprise mobile application, identifying the location of app users on their own devices and triggering events used to contextualise push notifications and other application behaviour.

Woosmap Geofencing — commercial use case page
Commercial description of geofencing triggering events on device entry or exit of a monitored region; contextualisation of push notifications at the right time and in the right place; support for distance-based, time-based, ETA/isochrone and recurrent geofences; and retail, geomarketing and offer-targeting use cases including tailoring by where users live or work.
View original source ↗Technical correspondence
Woosmap is designed to be incorporated into enterprise and customer mobile applications and provides location-event functionality operating on consumer devices. The public material therefore establishes both endpoints contemplated by the limitation — a retailer-controlled software environment and consumer devices — together with a notification-enabling relationship between them.
Evidentiary status
Matters for further review
Public documentation establishes the enterprise and mobile-application architecture, but may not by itself establish the precise claimed configuration of the “primary user device associated with a retailer”, including where the retailer-side instruction code executes and which entity operates it in a given United States deployment.
