Verbatim · US12039568B2 · Claim 1a database of previously collected data in respect of users of the secondary user devices; and
Claim requirement
Technical interpretation — not claim languageThe claimed system retains information about the consumer that pre-dates the notification event. The architecture does not operate on instantaneous position alone; it expressly introduces previously collected information concerning the consumer as an input to the system.
Publicly disclosed Woosmap functionality
Woosmap states that the Geofencing SDK collects and stores user locations and visits within the mobile application’s local database, and derives higher-order behavioural structures from that retained history.
- User locations
- Visits
- Zones of Interest
- Recurrent locations
- Geographical clusters
- Temporal clusters
- Locally stored location / visit information

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
This publicly disclosed architecture is relevant because the granted claim does not operate solely on instantaneous location. It expressly introduces previously collected information concerning the consumer. Woosmap publicly discloses collection and analysis of historical user-location and visit information, creating substantial technical relevance to the previously-collected-data component of the granted architecture.
Evidentiary status
Matters for further review
It does not follow that Woosmap’s location history satisfies every construction of “a database of previously collected data in respect of users”. Where that store resides in a given deployment — on device, in the retailer’s systems, or in an integrated platform — and what it contains beyond location, requires confirmation.
