Title: Ordering system
Inventor: TOLCHER ROBIN JOHN
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2013-07-31
Abstract: A method of delivering a product to a recipient from a sender who may not known the recipients real world address. The product is ordered by the sender, who has a registered unique sender identity linked with payment means and who provides a virtual address 204 e.g. telephone or mobile number or social media account, for the recipient and a personalised message 202 e.g. text or voice message. The system uses the unique sender identity e.g. SIM or mobile device number, log-in name, social network ID or any authenticable virtual identity, to confirm purchase of the product 206 and sends a downlink call message 216 to the recipient address to solicit return or confirmation of the senders real world address 218. On receipt or confirmation of the real world address the delivery of the product is instructed 224. Thus even where the sender does not know the recipients address they are able to send a gift to them. The personalised message may be sent to the recipient 214 before the downlink call message and in a masked form or with a spoofed header 212, so that it looks like it is directly from the sender. It may be augmented with attributes of the registered sender stored in a database 210. Thus the recipient may be alerted to the incoming downlink call message so that it is not ignored, deleted or moved to a junk mail folder. Once confirmed the system may store the recipients address for subsequent use. A pay by phone system is also described (Figures 6a, 6b)
