United States Deployment Analysis

Purpose of United States Deployment Analysis

This analysis examines publicly disclosed Woosmap deployments and integration architectures for evidence of combined functionality corresponding with the limitations of the granted claims of US12039568B2.

The independent-claim analysis identifies multiple areas of technical correspondence within Woosmap’s publicly disclosed technology. This section examines whether publicly disclosed customer deployments and integration architectures provide additional evidence concerning the combined operation of those functions.

Particular attention is given to implementations capable of connecting location and historical user context with customer information, targeting logic, temporal conditions and automated consumer communications.

U.S. deployment evidence — not yet established

Deployment 02

Unnamed fast-food, restaurant and supermarket click-and-collect implementations described by Woosmap

Entity — industry

Quick-service restaurant / grocery

Jurisdiction / market

Named deployments described as operating in France; Woosmap's chief executive separately states the offering is being expanded across Europe and North America. No United States customer is named.

Relevant Woosmap technology

Woosmap Distance / ETA; geofencing; click-and-collect workflow

Documented implementation

A customer places a take-out order routed to the location nearest their current position. An estimated time of arrival is computed from real-time traffic. When the customer is five minutes from the restaurant, a notification is issued so that order preparation begins.

Relevant granted claim elements

Public evidence — source record

Matters established by the public record

  • A deployed workflow in which a communication is issued automatically upon satisfaction of a combined location and time condition, expressed as an ETA threshold.
  • That the temporal architecture is operational rather than documentary.

Matters not established by the public record

  • The identity of any customer operating the workflow.
  • Whether previously collected user information or retailer targeting criteria participate.
  • Whether the recipient of the automated communication is the consumer or only the store, in each implementation.
  • Whether any implementation operates in the United States; expansion into North America is stated as an intention, not a deployment.

Relevant independent claims

Claim 1 element H · Claim 10 step 10G · Claim 19 element 19G; dependent claim 7

United States deployment status

U.S. STATUS NOT YET ESTABLISHED

Capability, integration, deployment and United States evidence

Product capability

ETA computation and time-based geofencing are documented Woosmap capabilities.

Integration capability

The order and preparation systems are customer systems; no platform is named.

Deployment evidence

Woosmap's chief executive describes live use by fast-food chains and supermarkets, without naming them.

Evidence of United States implementation

None. The only United States-adjacent statement is that the offering is expanding across Europe and North America.

Claim 19 linkage — executable software instructions

Each limitation of granted Claim 19 is recorded against the matters this deployment’s public source record does and does not establish. Technical correspondence only.

19A →

Stored instructions on a computer readable medium

PARTIALLY EVIDENCED

A deployed application workflow is described; the disclosure does not name the Geofencing SDK as the executing component.

19B →

Instructions accessing previously collected user data

NOT ESTABLISHED

No previously collected user data is described as an input.

19C →

Instructions matching notifications for relevance

PARTIALLY EVIDENCED

The order is matched to the nearest location; no consumer-level relevance determination is described.

19D →

Instructions processing consumer-device location

APPEARS SATISFIED

Consumer device position is processed continuously against the pickup location to compute arrival.

19E →

Instructions applying retailer-entered specifications

NOT ESTABLISHED

No retailer-entered recipient specification is described.

19F →

Instructions gating on the geographic condition

APPEARS SATISFIED

The action is conditioned on proximity to the retailer-associated pickup location.

19G →

Executable location and time logic

APPEARS SATISFIED

An explicit five-minute estimated-time-of-arrival threshold governs execution — the strongest public evidence for this limitation in any deployment.

19H →

Instructions enabling and disabling communication

APPEARS SATISFIED

The communication is issued automatically once the threshold is met, and not before.

19I →

Instructions allowing sending of the notification

PARTIALLY EVIDENCED

The described recipient of the automated message is the kitchen; a consumer-directed notification is not stated in this source.

Combined claim-element correspondence

Retailer-associated system

ESTABLISHED

Restaurant and supermarket ordering and kitchen systems.

Consumer device

ESTABLISHED

Customer device position drives the ETA.

Previously collected user information

NOT ESTABLISHED

Not described in the disclosure.

Relevance / matching

PARTIAL

The order is matched to the nearest location; consumer-level relevance is not described.

Retailer targeting

NOT ESTABLISHED

Not described.

Retailer-associated location

ESTABLISHED

The pickup restaurant or store is the monitored location.

Geographic condition

ESTABLISHED

Proximity to the pickup location is monitored.

Temporal condition

ESTABLISHED

A five-minute ETA threshold is expressly described.

Automatic communication logic

ESTABLISHED

A notification is issued automatically on the threshold being met.

Relevant notification

PARTIAL

The described recipient is the kitchen; consumer-directed messaging is not stated in this source.
