Abstract

Un assistant numérique personnel, un téléphone sans fil, un ordinateur portable ou un autre dispositif obtient et stocke une identification de vendeur associée à un emplacement physique spécifique de vendeur, emplacement désigné comme présentant un intérêt pour un utilisateur du dispositif. Par exemple, le dispositif d'utilisateur peut obtenir l'identification du vendeur par le biais d'une liaison de télécommunication sans fil établie avec un système au niveau de l'emplacement physique du vendeur, en réponse à une entrée d'une commande de signet par l'utilisateur. L'identification stockée du vendeur sert de signet à l'emplacement correspondant de vendeur, et est utilisée par la suite par le dispositif d'utilisateur pour extraire ou obtenir une information de vendeur mise à jour périodiquement et concernant l'emplacement spécifique du vendeur, de telle manière que la dernière information ayant trait à l'emplacement du vendeur marqué en signet est disponible à l'utilisateur par le biais du dispositif de l'utilisateur.
