Order Processing for Remotely Ordered Goods

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for processing of an order for goods received at an order processing system from a location-triggered communication through a networked mobile wireless telecommunication computing device. Responsive to the location-triggered communication, a signal is transmitted to commence processing the order for goods. If the mobile wireless telecommunication computing device requests, an item list of available items and corresponding processing times for each request could also be transmitted. The item list may form part of an application program installable on the mobile wireless telecommunication computing device. The location-triggered communication may include payment information. The method may also process payment information and transmit an order receipt to the mobile wireless telecommunication computing device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer-implemented method for processing an order, comprising:
 receiving at an order processing system a location-triggered communication from a networked mobile wireless telecommunication computing device, the location-triggered communication associated with an order for goods; and   responsive to the location-triggered communication, transmitting a signal to commence processing the order for goods.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving at the order processing system a request from the mobile wireless telecommunication computing device;   responsive to the request, transmitting an item list to the mobile wireless telecommunication computing device, the item list comprising a list of available items and corresponding processing times for each item in the list.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the item list forms part of an application program installable on the mobile wireless telecommunication computing device. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the location-triggered communication includes payment information. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 processing the payment information; and   responsive to successful processing of the payment information, transmitting an order receipt to the mobile wireless telecommunication computing device.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein processing the payment information comprises receiving and verifying payment conformation from a payment service associated with the mobile wireless telecommunication computing device. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the order receipt is transmitted directly to the mobile wireless telecommunication computing device from the order processing system. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the order receipt is transmitted to the payment service for transmission by the payment service to the mobile wireless telecommunication computing device.
