Patent number: 8606655Abstract: In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium includes code to cause a processor to receive, via a first communication mode, a first indicator associated with a first user-performed process, and receive, via a second communication mode different from the first communication mode, a second indicator associated with a second user-performed process. The code includes code to cause the processor to identify, using the first indicator a first set of items for the first user-performed process, and identify, using the second indicator, a second set of items for the second user-performed process. The code further includes code to cause the processor to define a vendor-agnostic list to include the first set of items and the second set of items, and send a signal associated with at least a portion of the vendor-agnostic list to a communication device.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2011Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Ziplist, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey Benjamin Allen, Steven Lee Geyer, Bradley Spector Herrup, Rodney Dale McElrath, Timothy Scott Ramsey

Publication number: 20130073392Abstract: In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions to cause a processor to receive, at a time, an indication from a communication device that an item from a vendor-agnostic list has been located. The item having been previously added to a vendor-agnostic list in response to a user of the communication device perceiving an offline advertisement for the item, has been located. The code represents instructions to cause the processor to determine, based on a location indicator associated with the communication device, if the communication device is located within a range of a vendor substantially at the time. The code further represents instructions to cause the processor to store a relationship between an identifier associated with the offline advertisement and an identifier associated with the vendor if the communication device was located within the range of the vendor substantially at the time.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2011Publication date: March 21, 2013Applicant: Ziplist, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey Benjamin Allen, Steven Lee Geyer, Bradley Spector Herrup, Rodney Dale McElrath, Timothy Scott Ramsey
