Abstract: A system includes a server performing a plurality of actions corresponding with a method for location-based product merchandising. The system includes a smart-type rules engine and receives a number of signals including inventory data, weather data, social media data, and events data and correlates all of the signals with a query from a user device relating to one or more physical stores or relating to a good or a service available from the one or more physical stores. The system determines the location of the user device and, together with the signals and the query, determines a geobased dataset of goods or services available at specific physical stores, and presents a product-based display element, such as a smart bar or a product display page reserve widget, on a user interface of the user device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a middleware approach to initializing and updating required data entry fields, pushing such required data entry fields to mobile devices and applications, collecting entered data from such mobile devices, and the synchronizing and integrating of the data is presented. A “form builder” software component of the present invention allows for the creation of easy to read and use data entry forms by company management. A “web application” software component of the present invention allows for the forms to then be distributed via electronic and/or wireless means to mobile client devices, such as PDA's, Tablets, and Laptops, and to Desktop computers. The mobile client devices run applications to utilize the data entry forms and are that into which collected data can be entered. A “synchronization server” software component of the present invention then allows for two-way communication, storage and conflict resolution (versioning) of the collected data.

A “synchronization server” software component allows for two-way communication, storage and conflict resolution (versioning) of the collected data. An “integration server” software component allows for external access to the collected and versioned data and modeling/mapping of such data. Thus seamless data entry, collection, updating, conflict resolution, versioning, storage, access and utilization is available.
