Abstract

See full text

A consumer uses a portable device to record voice input of items that are needed when shopping at a store. The device is then carried to the store when shopping and upon entering the store becomes connected to a wireless LAN within the store. Once on the LAN, the device can exchange information with a store computer such as by sending the list of voice inputs to the computer and receiving back information about the location of those items in the store. The received information is provided as audio output by the device. By including a locator service within the wireless LAN, the store computer is able to identify where the device is located and customize any announcements that the store computer sends to the device.
