Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided to allow a customer to acquire product information from a scanning system. For example, in some embodiments, a method performed by a control circuit comprises establishing a wireless communication connection between a user's personal mobile device and a portable scanning system configured to optically scan identification codes of distinct products; wirelessly receiving at the mobile device product identifying information from the scanning system of each product scanned by the scanning system and available for purchase at the retail store; associating, at the mobile device, a plurality of the product identifying information received from the scanning system with each of a plurality of user specified product information locally accessible through the mobile device; and communicating from the mobile device to a checkout system, during a checkout process, the product identifying information received from the scanning system of each product scanned by the scanning system.

Claim (Index 1):
A customer controlled retail store shopping system, comprising:\n a control circuit; a memory coupled to the control circuit and storing computer instructions that when executed by the control circuit perform the follows steps: establish a wireless communication connection between a user's personal mobile device and a separate portable scanning system associated with a retail store, wherein the scanning system is configured to optically scan identification codes of distinct products and obtain product identifying information based on the identification code of each product scanned; wirelessly receive at the mobile device product identifying information from the scanning system of each product scanned by the scanning system and available for purchase at the retail store; incorporate at least some of the product identifying information into a virtual shopping cart based at least in part on the product identifying information; communicating from the mobile device to a checkout system, during a checkout process, the product identifying information in the virtual shopping cart and received from the scanning system of each product scanned by the scanning system; and a display of the mobile device coupled with the control circuit; wherein the control circuit, in establishing the short range wireless communication connection between the mobile device and the scanning system, is further configured to:\n cause a unique identifier to be displayed on the display, wherein the unique identifier identifies at least the mobile device and is configured to be optically scanned by the scanning system to cause a temporary and exclusive association between the scanning system with the mobile device; \n wirelessly receive, from the scanning system and in response to the unique identifier being scanned, wireless communication information including a scanning system identifier; and \n establish the wireless communication connection using the wireless communication information.
