Abstract

Un système de vente mixte établissant la jonction entre le monde en ligne et les magasins physiques comprend au moins un dispositif réseau marchand, au moins un dispositif réseau central, au moins un dispositif réseau interactif d'utilisateur et au moins un système d'identification. Le dispositif réseau marchand, le dispositif réseau central, le dispositif réseau interactif d'utilisateur et le système d'identification sont reliés entre eux par un réseau. Le dispositif réseau marchand contient des informations concernant des magasins physiques et se trouve programmé pour communiquer avec le dispositif réseau central. Le dispositif réseau central est programmé pour recevoir d'un utilisateur enregistré au niveau du dispositif réseau interactif d'utilisateur, une requête portant sur une transaction, pour communiquer avec le dispositif réseau marchand et pour envoyer à l'utilisateur inscrit une réponse sommaire à sa requête. La réponse sommaire comprend une liste de magasins physiques correspondant à la demande de l'utilisateur. Le dispositif réseau interactif d'utilisateur est programmé pour communiquer avec le dispositif réseau central. Enfin, le système d'identification avertit le dispositif réseau central, le dispositif réseau marchand, le dispositif réseau interactif d'utilisateur ou une combinaison quelconque de ces trois dispositifs, lorsque l'utilisateur inscrit effectue une transaction dans un magasin physique.
