  • Patent number: 8793588
    Abstract: A method is provided for personalized touch-based computing devices for individual users. A user would provide identification data to a touch-based computing device. The touch-based computing device, or ordering system that supports the touch-based computing device, identifies the user from the identification data and retrieves user interface format data from a database. User interface data is retrieved and transmitted to the touch-based computing device. A user interface is displayed to the user in a format based on the user interface format data. The format of the user interface and the order of items displayed in the user interface are controlled by the user interface format data. Transaction data from the user is stored in a database and the transaction data may also be used to improve how the data is displayed for future visits.
