    Patent number: 11328340
    Abstract: A system for image recognition product ordering includes a communications link that receives a digital image of a printed advertisement of one or more products.

An order initiation unit correlates the one or more identified products with offers for sale of those products and initiates an order of the product. In alternative embodiments, a user of the system is presented with one or more offers for selections, if further embodiments the offer is a subscription-based order for recurring delivery of a product. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
