Described scan operation can be activated the one scan key and started or can be in adjacent unit 7002 in response to project or be placed on the cover cap 842 and automatically start by disposal unit 7002 by the user. Can be a food containers, a cleaning products container etc. through treatment. Described container can be empty, partially filled or full.
But described scan code can be added by manufacturer, retailer, retail trader, or described user can apply code. Described code can be bar code, RFID label, other electronic tag, the label etc. of coding magnetically. In case described project is scanned, the door of disposal unit 7002 is opened automatically or manually so, and the user deposits in described project in the disposal unit 7002, and sensing system 843 confirms that according to circumstances described project is stored really. In case described affirmation is provided, then described long-range or local content/data collection storehouse is updated to the project that comprises through discarded.
If the user presses " discarding " instruction key, so described process proceeds to state 934, and carries out discarded subprogram. At state 936, to order undetermined and the end of described process will do not added through the project of scanning. Therefore, when the user did not want a substitute through treatment, the user can activate discarded key 836 or otherwise provide a discarded instruction. Require according to circumstances described user that the feedback of the reason of the substitute that relevant user do not want to order discarded project is provided. For example, the reason of not ordering can comprise: " I do not re-use such product " or " stock that this product has been arranged in the my family ". According to circumstances, if the project of being discarded is a sample, can require so the feedback of relevant specific sample, as " I have attempted the product of taking a sample; but I do not like ", " I have attempted the product of taking a sample and have liked this product; but I still would rather use my present brand ", " I do not attempt this sample, do not want to order yet ". Require reason of user selection, and chosen former reason disposal unit 7002 local ground are stored and/or are sent to remote data base 7004 and stored. Then, the described user feedback advertiser that can be distributed to suitable manufacturer, retailer, retail trader, market entity and can carry out market analysis and/or improve its product of supplying with described feedback.
If discarded key is not activated, so described process proceeds to state 908 from state 907. At state 908, institute's scan code is used for judging more than one or of following content: the valid expiration date of the attribute of project, project size, project Container Type, project brand, project cost and/or project. Describedly can comprise directly that through scan code above-mentioned information maybe can comprise a product code or SKU, described product code or SKU can be used as the key of the described information in location and the access one Local or Remote product database.
Described product database can be stored in the local storage of disposal unit 7002, such as product database 815, and/or can conduct interviews via LAN or wide area network. For example, described product database can be the database 7004 of a long range positioning and it can be conducted interviews by network 7006 by a large amount of disposal units 7002. Institute is discussed similarly as mentioned, and remote data base 7004 can be associated with supermarket, home-delivery center, Waste disposal and recovery entity, delivery service and/or third party operator.
With the transaction of remote data base 7004 can be with encrypting and SSL (SSL) agreement of authentication, use WWW secure HTTP (S-HTTP) agreement and carry out safely by providing with digital authenticating. Also can use the secure communication of other form, such as Virtual Private Network (VPN). In addition, for the purpose of authentication, unit 7002 can send and the owner of disposal unit 7002 or disposal unit 7002 or password that the licensor is associated or unique identifier.
In one embodiment, disposal unit 7002 is at first attempted the project information that product database 815 is located and access is wanted from storage inside, and if find coupling, access so remote data base 7004. Local data base 815 can be by using (for example) SyncML exchange files to be updated synchronously and periodically with one or above remote data base 7004.
If remote data base 7004 is accessed, the connection of so in a single day setting up a safety is just the code of the product that scans and/or associated information send to remote data processing system 7005 by discarded unit 7002. Described remote data base 7004 location are corresponding to the information of the code of scanning product. Yet, unsuccessful or remote data base 7004 or teledata disposal system 7005 when the trial that is connected to remote data processing system 7005 otherwise when unavailable, disposal unit 7002 is stored in product code and out of Memory in the local storage 810. Then, disposal unit 7002 will attempt being connected to remote data processing system 7005 according to one or one pre-defined rule, and wherein said pre-defined rule be as every the number of minutes of being scheduled to or in another fixed time. According to circumstances, until before successfully realizing connecting, on disposal unit display 825, show that to the user warning is to notify the user connection failure. In case foundation is connected with remote data processing system 7005, product code just sends to database 7004 by unit 7002.
Can comprise cost, size, calorie, composition, the classification of name of product, price, each unit and be stored in out of Memory the database from the information of Local or Remote database access, the information of above discussing with respect to product database 7014 comprising (for example). Described information through the location can directly send it back disposal unit 7002 or send it back the local computing device 7008 that is couple to disposal unit 7002. Then, described information or one partial display are opened automatically or manually to the lid 842 of user and described disposal unit.
For example, described information can be shown on disposal unit display 825 or a local computing device 7008 monitors. The user can be by use disposal unit printer 856 or receive in succession the printer of computing equipment 7008 and described information is printed by using always. In addition, relevant information can send to disposal unit 7002 for showing or printing from remote data processing system 7005 such as the advertisement of product or electronic coupons. Described advertisement or reward voucher can be according to circumstances based in the following content more than one or one: the pattern of the project that the user disposes, order undetermined, selection, buying habit and previous order and family population statistics.
At state 910, be a sample by judge the project that scans with disposal unit 7002, computing equipment 7008 or remote data processing system 7005. Described decision process be by the information that will scan be stored in long-range and/or native product database 7014,815 in or be stored in data in the long-range or local sample data storehouse 7016,816 and compare and carry out. For example, if the information that scans contains a product code, can produce so a SQL query and locate corresponding product database record, and if described sample mark be set to " 1 ", the project that scans so is identified as sample. Otherwise the project that scans can not be identified as sample. Alternatively or in addition, can produce a SQL query and locate corresponding sample data storehouse record, and if find coupling, so described project is identified as sample. Otherwise described project can not be identified as sample. If described project can not be identified as sample, so described process proceeds to the state 911 of wherein carrying out a model application program, as describing in more detail with respect to Figure 18. Described process then proceeds to state 918 from state 911.
If the project that scans is identified as sample, so described process proceeds to state 912 from state 910. Directly come the relevant user of inquiring user whether to want to order the project of a common non-sample form by disposal unit 7002 or by teleprocessing system 7005 via disposal unit 7002 or computing equipment 7008.
If user's answer negates, so described process proceeds to state 938, and requires the user to provide relevant user not want to order the feedback of the reason of a common non-sample form project. For example, the reason of not ordering can comprise: " I do not use such product ", " I have attempted the product of taking a sample; but I do not like ", " I have attempted the product of taking a sample and have liked this product; but I still would rather use my present brand ", " I did not attempt this sample, did not want to order yet ". Require reason of user selection, and at state 940 places, chosen former reason disposal unit 7002 is stored locally and/or is sent to remote data base 7004 and stored. The people that then, described user feedback can be distributed to suitable manufacturer, retailer, retail trader and can carry out market analysis and/or improve its supply product with described information.
If the answer state 912 users of place is sure, so described process proceeds to state 914 and requires user specifies to want size and/or the number of the common form unit ordered. At state 916, user's ordering information is received and be added in user's order undetermined of storing in the long-range and/or local order database, perhaps if there is no order undetermined, and user's ordering information is added in the new order so. In addition, the user is recorded in the remote data base 7004 the discarded fact of ordering common form afterwards of sample to distribute to supplier, retailer, can carry out market analysis and/or improve research and/or the marketing institutions that it supplies product with described information. Described process then proceeds to state 918.
Discuss as mentioned, if the project that scans not is sample, if or the user ordered the project sample of a common form, so described process proceeds to state 918. At state 918 places, retrieve the special key that reads in state 905 and activate (if existence).
If the user provides " buying a now " instruction, so described process proceeds to state 920, and carries out one and buy now subprogram. At state 922, described project is added to order undetermined and ordered described order, surmount or walk around described user's preference trigger. To order instruction and send to one or more than one data handling system 2005 via network 7006. At state 924, retrieve described user's delivery preference from the Local or Remote user account database. For example, the user can specify and use the same day, next day, two days, standard, least cost or environmental friendliness ground method of shipment the most. At state 926, described order is sent according to user's standard delivery preference by delivery service or supplier.
If provide one " buying fast " instruction state 918 users of place, so described process proceeds to state 928, and carries out one and buy fast subprogram. According to circumstances, at state 929 places, come inquiring user whether to want and to buy fast instruction and be applied to user's order form whole undetermined via disposal unit 7002, be applied to the subset of order form undetermined or only be applied to the project of firm scanning. It is own that described inquiry can come from disposal unit 7002, maybe can send and get from data handling system 7005.
At state 930, order described order with the urgent delivery according to the user instruction appointment, and an order instruction is sent to one or more than one remote data processing system 7005. Therefore, usually should use least cost delivery even the user has specified in the cargo transport preference field of user account database, buy fast instruction by issue one so, will use the delivery service of a higher level. Described urgent delivery can have a default value according to circumstances, as delivering goods the same day. Alternatively or in addition, the user can use the delivery service of which kind of rank or type when receiving quick purchase instruction in that the quick purchase cargo transport preference field middle finger of user account is settled. For example, the user can specify the same day, next day, two days or standard delivery are used for buying fast. At state 936, by using quick purchase delivery appointment or acquiescence described order is delivered goods to the specified delivery address of user by delivery service or supplier.
If provide " a discarding " instruction state 918 users of place, so described process proceeds to state 934, and carries out a discarded subprogram. At state 936, do not add to the project of described scanning in the order undetermined and the end of described process. Therefore, when the user did not want a substitute of the project of disposing, the user can activate discarded key 836 or otherwise provide a discarded instruction.
If state 918 users do not activate a SF of above discussing or otherwise issue a corresponding instruction, so described process proceeds to state 942, and the project that wherein scans is added to the order form undetermined that is stored in the user in the long-range and/or local order database. At state 944, from described long-range and/or local user account database retrieval user's order preference. At state 946, in the situation of the order trigger preference that has user's appointment, order. Discuss as mentioned, described user orders the trigger preference and can be: week after formerly ordering, formerly order after per two weeks, per month, order described order in other fixed time or cycle or when the total amount of described order equals or exceeds a certain rank. At state 948, described order is sent according to user's standard account delivery preference by delivery service or supplier.
In case order an order, just can provide one to order affirmation by Systems Operator, supplier or delivery service. According to circumstances, can by the user specify the affirmation of one or several preferred types and be stored in described preference long-range or the local user account database in for retrieve in the future. Described affirmation can send to the user via following mode: Email, surface mail, webpage, text message, real-time messages or use as other message technology that the user is specified or use an acquiescence to order the affirmation type. Described order confirms to comprise the inventory of ordered project, cost, totle drilling cost, applied any discount, delivery expense (if existence) and the delivery date that has been ranked of each project and date and/or the time range of time or execution delivery. Described order confirms to indicate equally in the ordered project whether have any disabled project. In the previous day of delivery or when described order is sent, can provide similarly a delivery confirmation. Described delivery confirmation can provide delivery date and the time of having upgraded.
According to circumstances, can carry out by the third-party logistics company such as FedEx, DHL, UPS or United States postal service and send. The printable station address label of described disposal and alternative system operator also offers the logistics company of being responsible for sending with described label and/or product (such as, sample products).
One embodiment of the invention promote effective refuse collection, processing and reclaimer operation. Discuss as mentioned, when scanning the project of being discarded, therefore the information of the project that described disposal unit 7002 and/or remote data base 7004 record identifications scan also have the information of relevant disposal unit content. Then, described Information Availability in access about be used for the information of material of the packing of discarded project and container. In one embodiment, described disposal unit 7002 contains a litter bag. When the user substitutes described litter bag, the user activates one and substitutes the litter bag button, and in response to above-mentioned action, described disposal unit 7002 with one or more than one bar code printing on the described litter bag or print on the label that is appended to by the user on the described litter bag. According to circumstances, described litter bag can have pre-printed unique bar code of serving as a litter bag sequence number, and described unique bar code then can be associated with litter bag content and/or user in described database. Printed bar code contains the printing packing of discarding about being used for thereon and the information of the material of container. The user can scan described bar code and described information is sent to a waste management company. According to circumstances, the consumer will be from waste management company, government organs or the reception of other entity credit or the payment for its reclaimable waste.
Figure 10 illustrates another exemplary refuse and/or removal process. Described process is from state 1002 beginnings and proceed to state 1004. Retrieve described user's refuse/recovery trigger collection program preference or rule from a Local or Remote user account database. For example, described trigger collection program preference can specify described collection should be in a week one day of appointment occur, occur and/or generation when one or above disposal unit is in the filling rank (half-full, 3/4ths full, full up) of appointment in an appointed interval (biweekly, weekly). Judge 1006 whether described preference trigger specifies one to fill rank. If so, described process proceeds to state 1008 and reads described filling rank by filling level sensor system 843. At state 1010, if the comparison of filling rank and described filling rank that described filling rank and preference trigger is specified equal or exceed the specified filling rank of preference trigger, so described process proceeds to state 1012. Otherwise described process proceeds to state 1016, and repeats described process after the time interval that one judges, the described time interval can be (for example) per hour, per 8 hours, every day or other interval.
At state 1012, read described refuse from user account database and gather provider's preference. For example, the user can be by the provider that specifies with title or other identifier of provider, or specifies the provider that adopts least cost. If the user specifies the provider that adopts least cost, so described collection decides according to bid. Included information comprises disposal unit 7002 contents in the bidding request, so that the cost that can judge the value of recyclable product and dispose described non-recyclable project is discussed in bid. In 1014, indicate selected provider to carry out and gather, and gather.
If being judged as in state 1006 described trigger preferences is not based on described filling rank, so described process proceeds to state 1018, judges wherein whether described trigger collection program preference specifies the time interval or the appointed date that gathers. If not, then described process proceeds to state 1020 and uses an acquiescence refuse/recovery acquisition time table. Discuss similarly as mentioned, described process then proceeds to state 1012 and 1014.
If judge the time interval or the appointed date that described trigger collection program preference appointment one gathers at state 1018, so described process proceeds to state 1022 and judges whether provide acquisition instructions this moment. If so, discuss so as mentioned described process and proceed to state 1012 and 1014. Otherwise described process proceeds to state 1024 and repeat described process after a predetermined amount of time.
One process according to one embodiment of the invention sampling now will be described. Along with based on the consumption of items of consumer's reality and begin automatically to produce order, the consumer is reduced by the impact of advertisement and the possibility of carrying out the impulse buying behavior reduces. Advantageously, institute is described similarly as mentioned, although there is automatic subscription procedure, one embodiment of the invention provide one new project is sold to consumer's process for manufacturer and supplier. The process of one its characteristic of interested project in sampling process of appointment is provided for the consumer in addition.
Described sampling process is a selection adition process (opt-in process) according to circumstances, and wherein the user indicates its hope and participates in described sampling process. By adding a sampling plan, titular user will receive and be delivered in its family or the free outturn sample of other appointment delivery address. Described sample comprises that according to circumstances being in the packing of product the described product of indication is bar code or other code of sample. Can comprise described bar code or be in addition project SKU. After using or consuming described product, to discuss similarly for non-sample as mentioned, the described code of scanning input also places disposal unit 7002 with described product. Then, user's order undetermined can be corrected for the sampling product that comprises a common form. According to circumstances, before the sampling sample with described common form adds order to, impel the user to confirm that the user wants it is added in the order. The fact that the user orders the sample products of common form is stored in the sample data storehouse to be used for distributing to suitable manufacturer, retailer, retail trader and advertiser with applicable privacy policy and/or the degree that government regulation was allowed.
Exemplary sampling process is further impelled the user that feedback is provided and is then collected described feedback and it is stored in the sample database. Institute is discussed similarly as mentioned, and in one embodiment, when the user disposed product once sampling, the code of the described sampling product of scanning input and described disposal unit or remote data processing system were identified as a sample from the code that scans with discontinued product. If the user then activates discarded key, its indicating user does not want to order the sampling product of common form, impels so the user that feedback is provided. For example, a feedback form is present on the display of disposal unit, wherein lists some potential causes that the user can not want to record described project. Require reason of user selection, in case and the user carry out described selection, then described selection locally stored and/or is sent to a remote sample database by disposal unit and stored. As hereinafter discussing in more detail, described user feedback then can be distributed to suitable manufacturer, retailer, retail trader, marketing institutions and advertiser.
Described sampling process can make manufacturer, retailer, retail trader, marketing institutions and advertiser carry out more efficiently marketing activity, and reason is that it will automatically impel the user to order once the project of sampling or confirms order through the sampling project. Compare with the success rate that shelf publicity in routine sampling, advertisement, the supermarket etc. realizes, this can cause higher conversion ratio, and wherein said user orders the sampling product of a common form.
In addition, compare with a lot of routine techniques, the supply of sample is more concentrated and accurate. Can be selected based on the user profile information that comprises following information to the sample that a given user provides: user's order historical record, user's preference and selected preference pattern, user's family population statistics, user's address etc., this will help is an appropriate target consumer of given marketing activity identification. Illustrated such as Figure 11, at state 1102, reception includes the user account information of user demographic information, sample selection adding information, sample preference and pattern information and order historical information in the past and it is stored in the database. At state 1104, retrieve described user account information and described demographic information is compared with the target consumer consensus data of a given product or service. At state 1106, based on described comparison, user's selection adding information and sample preference information, the select target consumer is to receive the sample of given product or service. In one embodiment, produce a SQL query by using aforementioned parameters, and described SOL inquiry is for inquiring about described sample products database 7014, to judge the sample that is fit to the user. At state 1108, sample and station address and address tag are offered supplier, delivery and/or logistics company, and send described sample.
Advantageously, described sampling process provides detailed consumption figure and user's impression feedback. Figure 12 illustrates that one collects and distribute the example procedure of sample feedback information. At state 1202, select to comment on an investigation request for all or part of user of the sample that receives a given product or service. These certain customers can only limit to comprise the user of described sample having been scanned as the part of discarded process according to circumstances, have used described sample to indicate described user. At state 1204, via disposal unit 7002, Email, surface mail, webpage, text message or by phone described investigation is sent to the user. At state 1206, receive the result of described investigation. Additionally or alternati, provide following information:
-after receiving the sample of a given product, order the kinsfolk's of described product percentage and number
-will place disposal unit 7002 through the product of sampling and not order described product and/or the kinsfolk's of the discarded key of activation percentage and number
-kinsfolk is not provided by the reason through the sampling product that provide or that provide in response to the investigation that provides after a while during discarded process.
At state 1208, described investigation result is distributed to suitable manufacturer, retailer, retail trader, marketing institutions and/or advertiser.
Figure 13 A explanation user can come via website, Email or other form an exemplary sample preference form of access. Described form can comprise a field, and wherein the user can agree by the suitable pointing character of typing or activate a respective links to participate in described sampling process. Described form is enumerated the user can indicate product and the product type that the user will accept or not accept its free sample. For example, illustrated such as Figure 13, the user can be on form indicating user will not accept to contain just like the outturn sample of some food type of pork, poultry, beef, fish, seafood or will only accept the foodstuff product of some type, such as vegetarian diet, low fat, low sodium or Jew's foodstuff product.
One embodiment of sampling process further comprises a reward voucher process, and wherein the user has and makes it have the right to enjoy the reward voucher of free product or sample, product price discount, sales promotion (as buying a product, and freely obtaining another product) etc.
Described refuse is processed and replenishment system operator, manufacturer, retailer, retail trader and/or advertiser can be with the hard copy coupon format of the reward voucher bar code of printing, by the use surface mail or provide reward voucher to the user when sending order. Described reward voucher bar code can comprise special bar code, comprising the UPC digital display circuit character # 4 of (for example) eTrash company customization.
Described reward voucher also can be the form of electronic coupons or text coupon code, it can be posted to electronically the user or offer the user and the user can be printed it via a website. Described reward voucher also can be sent to user's disposal unit 7002 and be shown to the user and/or be printed by unit 7002 or the computing equipment that connects. Discuss as mentioned, coupon information can be stored in the coupon data storehouse. Described coupon data storehouse can comprise number of times and the reward voucher face amount that reward voucher identifier, from date, date of expiry, the spendable number of times of reward voucher, reward voucher have used. For example, the reward voucher face amount can be expressed as the value of money, a percentage discount of an appointment, freely delivery or " buy X and freely obtain Y ".
If reward voucher is the printout of hard copy reward voucher or electronic coupons, the user can be by using disposal unit 7002 scanner scanning coupon code with typing or using described reward voucher so. If reward voucher is text coupon code form, the user can key in described code by the keyboard or the keyboard with touch screen that use disposal unit 7002 so. If reward voucher is sent to disposal unit 7002 or is shown that by use disposal unit 7002 so described reward voucher can be applied to suitable purchase activity automatically.
Reward voucher can comprise various use restrictions. For example, the reward voucher single that can only limit to unique user or only limit to each family uses. Reward voucher also can have time restriction. According to circumstances, can use " numbering bar code ", wherein each reward voucher has the bar code number of a uniqueness. When described reward voucher by typing and when using, be recorded in the use of described reward voucher in the coupon data storehouse and make described appointment bar code " inactivation " to prevent from further using described reward voucher.
For the free sample product coupons, in case scanning input or otherwise the typing coupon code, waste treatment system just receives coupon code information. Then, described system will fulfil the sampling order instruction and address information sends to third-party logistics company or other fulfils entity. The use of sample products reward voucher will advantageously increase the use of sampling process. For example, manufacturer can ratify to give selected consumer with 10,000 coupon distribution, and then assessment receives and/or use the conversion ratio of ordering subsequently described number through the sampling product among the people of described sample. Based on assessment result, manufacturer can determine the sample products reward voucher of additional number is sent to extra selected consumer and/or usually extra reward voucher distributed to ordinary consumer.
Figure 13 B illustrates an exemplary reward voucher processing method. Described process is in state 1302 beginnings and proceed to state 1304. The user is scanned coupon code by scanner 838 illustrated among use (for example) Fig. 8 B, and described code through scanning is sent to treatment system 7005. The described code for the treatment of system 7005 usefulness is inquired about coupon data storehouse 7018, thereby which kind of product the identification user selection is combined with and can uses product size and the structure of reward voucher with reward voucher. Treatment system 7005 is examined equally the described date and is in reward voucher between start and end date. If applicable, treatment system judges further whether described reward voucher only can use the number of times of appointment so, and if so, then determines whether the number of times that has exceeded appointment. At state 1308, described option is sent to disposal unit 7002 or terminal 7008 to be shown to the user.
At state 1310, treatment system receives user-selected product size, structure and/or quantity. At state 1312, the mark that reward voucher has been used and described coupon code are stored in the coupon data storehouse 7016 explicitly. The information that relevant reward voucher is used can be offered supplier, retailer, can carry out market analysis and/or improve research and/or the marketing institutions that it supplies product with described information. At state 1314, user's order is stored in the order database 7012. At state 1316, described process finishes.
For the discount certificate, in case scanning input or otherwise the typing coupon code, refuse is processed and the replenishment system operator just receives coupon code information, and if described order satisfy the condition of discount, so described discount is applied to user's order undetermined. In addition, exist and limit for can be used in the given order discount certificate quantity to the applicable product of determined number.
In one embodiment, the user can have change, limits and produce the ability of new buying habit by specifying corresponding order and delivery pattern. The user can enable a mode option as the part of its account's setting. If the user enables described the mode option, substituting product is then proposed to the user by so described system. Automatically replenish and described pattern by utilizing, the user can change its shopping custom valuably to buy arduously hardly whereby more healthy food.
When the suggestion of substituting product is provided, for the substitute products of the project that scans and discard for being similar to, selected pattern according to as some user's Substitution Rules that before defined and the restriction of preferred diet instruct and limit the automatic search filtration. In addition, some pattern can change delivery and order characteristic, as when ordering an order and/or being ranked delivery schedule.
The user can be via the Systems Operator website or by disposing, revise and check its pattern rules and restriction with disposal unit 7002 user interfaces. These rules can be used as the part of user account information and are stored. Figure 14 illustrates example mode rule generation/modification process. At state 1402, described process proceeds to state 1404, and a Rule Wizard or form wherein are provided. The user can use described guide or form to produce and to add a new rule or revise to be applied to the product category of a user selection and/or the existing rule of subclass. In case select a product category and subclass (if applicable), just the user can select from corresponding pattern menu. Below be an example mode menu:
Dietary Pattern
Fat-free pattern
The low fat pattern
Without the seitan pattern
Without the peanut pattern
Salt-free pattern
The high protein pattern
Without egg pattern free from lactose pattern
The non-dairy product pattern
Jew's product pattern
Organic pattern
Natural mode
Social model
Pop mode
Famous person's selection
The pattern of biodegradable packing
Expert's selection
Ecological pack mode
M.D. (doctor advises) pattern
Safe mode
Confirm at state 1406 whether the user wants to edit an existing rule. If the user wants to edit existing rule, so described process proceeds to state 1410, and rule wherein said to be edited is retrieved, is shown and edited by the user from user account database. If the user does not want to edit existing rule, so described process proceeds to state 1408 and described guide from state 1406 and runs through the process that produces new regulation the user is instructed. At state 1412, in the described record of rale store at user account new and through editing, and described process ends at state 1414.
When project that scanning input is disposed, if system can find be similar to through scanning satisfy user's appointment or through the product of the product of preference pattern, whether the user interface query user via display unit is ready to change brand, product, series and/or type so. For example, " brand " of sour milk can be Danone (Dannon), and " product " is sour milk, and " series " is fat-free or low fat, and " type " can be taste, such as strawberry. Again such as, " brand " of shaver can be Gillette (Gillette), " product " can be " shaver ", " series " can be the product line such as Mach3, and " type " can be the quantity of every bag, such as 3 bags.
Figure 15 illustrates an exemplary interpolation pattern rules form. For example, described pattern rules form can be used as the webpage on user's computing equipment or offers the user via disposal unit. The user can select specific product or product type from the product category field. Described product category field can be a text entrance territory, and wherein the user keys in product or product category, and perhaps it can be a menu that comprises predetermined prod or product category.

In order to guarantee better to allow consumer satisfaction, the user can indicate described system as via e-mail, surface mail, webpage, text message, real-time messages, phone or by the communication of affirmation is provided with other message technology, described affirmation communicating requirement user provides for the variation that proposes in the product and the Confirmation of Orders that triggered by selected pattern. Described user instruction can provide by user's preference form.
Figure 16 explanation has an example mode of a plurality of product categories of user's assigned priorities and selects form 1600. Described example table comprises priority field, product category field, model selection field, limited field, elasticity field and description field. Whether described limited field is used to indicate the user and wants to substitute or proposed substitute products or project are defined as product or the project that those do not comprise certain composition or do not have some other characteristic described. Described description field can be used for describing or specifies characteristic via described limited field restriction. For example, can list in the described description that the user limited, namely substituting or replace one or the more than one composition do not accepted in the product one.
Figure 17 illustrates the exemplary record of a product, comprising name of product, price, specification, brand, type, series and kind/taste field. Also can comprise other field such as composition, calorie and/or speciality feature field. Therefore, when search is replaced or during proposed replacement, system judges that whether specification, brand, type, series and the kind/taste of a potential replacement product and other characteristic are corresponding to acceptable those characteristics of user. If it is corresponding to acceptable those characteristics of user, so described product is suitable replacement product or the replacement product of recommending, and name of product and price is provided and/or described project is added to user's order to the user.
Figure 18 illustrates an example mode application process corresponding to the illustrated pattern replacement state 911 of Fig. 9. In state 1802, described process proceeds to state 1804, wherein proposes option tags and pattern replacement option tags from the user account database read mode. If any in described two marks is set, indication user for discarded project wants system to determine whether that existence should propose or automatic powder adding is added to the suitable replacement product of user's order that so described process proceeds to state 1806 and retrieves one first alternative patterns rule from user account database to the user. Judge at state 1808 whether described rule is applicable to reject product classification and/or subclass. For example, described classification can be sour milk, soda, coffee, cereal, salad dressing, meat, cleaning agent, toothpaste, soap or bulb, and corresponding subclass can comprise strawberry flavor sour milk, cola type soda, instant coffee, hot cereal preparation (hot cereal), Italian salad dressing, beef, ceramic tile cleaner, children's toothpaste, soft soap and fluorescent light bulb. If described rule is also inapplicable, so described process proceeds to state 1814. So regular applicable, so described process proceeds to state 1810.
At state 1810, there are the match and replace product that satisfies described rule in search or inquiry product database to determine whether. If there is no match and replace product, so described process proceeds to state 1824 from state 1812, and wherein whether inquiring user is included in the substitute of reject product in user's the order. If the answer is in the negative for the user, so described process proceeds to state 1826, wherein suspend or process that cancellation is added substitute products to the user order, and described process proceeds to done state 1828. If answer is yes for the user, so described process proceeds to state 1818 from state 1824.
Referring again to state 1812, if there is the match and replace product, so described process proceeds to state 1814 from state 1812. At state 1814, judge whether the user has defined extra rule. If so, described process turns back to state 1806 again, wherein uses extra rule further to filter or to get rid of potential replacement product. Otherwise described process proceeds to state 1816. If identify more matching product at state 1810, so then at state 1816, the retrieval user preference is closer to satisfy user preference according to which substitute products with the replacement production sharing grade through identification from user account database. In one embodiment, the most cheap matching product is refered in particular to the product for highest ranking. Then, the product of described highest ranking is chosen as substitute products.
If user's pattern is replaced option tags and is set, so then at state 1818, via e-mail, disposal unit or alternate manner provide relevant to the user and add described substitute to the user Confirmation of Orders. If user's pattern proposes that option tags is set, so then will inquire the user whether it wants to accept proposed alternative, and will be stored and play a role via the user's of disposal unit user interface or the typing of alternate manner institute answer. At state 1820, add the replacement product to the user order, and described process ends at state 1828.
Referring again to state 1804, if pattern proposes that option tags or pattern replacement option tags all are not set, so described process proceeds to state 1822, wherein reads user's account data to determine whether other pattern that exists through setting, the tourism pattern of discussing as mentioned. If exist, so then abide by these patterns and described process and proceed to done state 1828.
In addition, by use the disposal unit content information, the user orders preference and the user orders historical record, can carry out more accurate and more responsively inventory management and control. Discuss as mentioned, dispose relevant to the alternative system storage scanning and deposit in the information of the product in the described disposal unit. Described information is then used in the real-time information of cardinal principle of the product consumption that produces relevant corresponding kinsfolk. In addition, based on the user order the content information of preference, delivery preference and disposal unit, about being consumed but the information of unsupplemented project, dispose and alternative system is measurable when will maybe may order substitute products for additional from supplier.
Particularly, content-based information, user's overview and/or user's order undetermined are disposed and alternative system is newly-built or upgrade the database of consumer products to be replenished. For example, described database can be stored in the disposal unit or be stored in the remote data processing system, such as remote data processing system 7005. The date of the expection of the product that described database comprises identifier, the product quantity for the treatment of supplementary, will need described quantity, the postcode of the described product of needs and/or area and the retailer or the retail trader that need the product of respective numbers. Described database can be by the retailer who authorizes and manufacturer according to disposing and alternative system rule and security stipulation are inquired about by use SQL query etc. Alternatively or in addition, can will in the situation that need not to inquire about, be provided to selected retailer and supplier by Email or by alternate manner about the type of the goods that needs to substitute and the information of quantity. Retailer and manufacturer do not have competitor's information or a given user appointment order/kinsfolk's situation according to circumstances. For example, do not identifying uniquely in individual user's the situation, a plurality of users' purchase order information can gathered together and offer supplier.
In order to locate the information of paying close attention to, retailer or manufacturer can limit its inquiry in the following manner:
-pass through postcode;
-by the area;
-pass through product;
-pass through delivery date;
-pass through quantity;
-delivery date by appointment;
-by manufacturer, and/or;
-pass through the retailer.
