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 01

The Phoenix Mills Limited — Phoenix Nhance loyalty application

Entity — industry

Shopping-mall operator / retail loyalty

Jurisdiction / market

India — the published success story states availability in eight malls across seven cities (Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Indore and Pune).

Relevant Woosmap technology

Woosmap Geofencing; Woosmap Indoor

Documented implementation

A loyalty application in which geofencing is used to deliver tailored promotions to shoppers' phones as they move through the mall, alongside indoor navigation, receipt-scanning loyalty points and campaign mini-games. The published figures include 1,438,167 registered users, 492,518 marketing campaign notifications and more than 208,600 geofencing notifications delivered in the reported year.

Matters established by the public record

  • A live, named, at-scale implementation of Woosmap geofencing operated by a commercial property and retail business.
  • Delivery of personalised offers to consumer devices on the basis of the consumer's location, in volume.
  • A retailer-side customer record — registered users, loyalty points, coupons and campaign interaction history — held alongside the location capability.

Matters not established by the public record

  • Whether previously collected user information is an input to the selection of the notification, or whether the geofence alone triggers it.
  • Which platform composes and issues the notification, and whether a temporal condition gates it.
  • Whether retailer-entered demographic or preferred-recipient criteria are applied.
  • Whether any part of this implementation operates in the United States.

United States deployment status

GLOBAL / NON-U.S. DEPLOYMENT

Capability, integration, deployment and United States evidence

Product capability

Woosmap publishes geofencing, indoor and notification capability.

Integration capability

The success story does not name a customer-engagement platform integration.

Deployment evidence

A named customer is publicly reported to operate the implementation, with volume figures.

Evidence of United States implementation

None. The source states Indian cities only; no United States use is asserted anywhere in the disclosure.

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

APPEARS SATISFIED

The loyalty application is a deployed mobile application publicly stated to use Woosmap Geofencing, which is distributed as installable SDK instructions.

19B

Instructions accessing previously collected user data

PARTIALLY EVIDENCED

A retailer-side record of registered users, points and coupons exists; the disclosure does not state that stored location or visit history is accessed by the notification instructions.

19G

Executable location and time logic

NOT ESTABLISHED

No temporal condition is described in the disclosure.

19H

Instructions enabling and disabling communication
