20110016023 | System and Method for Interactive Shopping - A method and associated system is provided for providing an interactive checklist and collaborative shopping session. The method includes displaying desired items on an interactive checklist. A primary user may designate which users can view specific items and should purchase specific items. The method also includes the option for the primary user to send an email to a secondary user with information, extracted from a checklist or registry, with a wish list of items that the recipient can buy with a click to a shopping cart. The primary user may also initiate a real-time or static collaborative shopping session where multiple users can suggest, comment on and purchase items. The primary user may “return” a gift item before the item is shipped and receive credit or cash. | 01-20-2011 |

20140379522 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERACTIVE SHOPPING - A method and system are disclosed for providing interactive checklist functionality to a primary user; the interactive checklist functionality is managed by a computer for the primary user. The method includes creating an interactive checklist, responsive to input from the primary user, which includes a list of items that the primary user may desire to purchase and accommodates entries of product information for particular items that satisfy items of the interactive checklist, and the entries, removals, and purchases are updated automatically by the computer. Also, the method includes enabling the primary user to shop through the interactive checklist, the interactive checklist functionality, which is responsive to input from the primary user, includes searching through the interactive checklist for at least one of the particular items that satisfy the items of the interactive checklist, selecting the at least one of the particular items that satisfy the items of the interactive checklist, and purchasing the at least one of the particular items that satisfy the items of the interactive checklist. Additionally, the method includes associating at least one of the particular items purchased by the primary user with at least one interactive checklist item, the interactive checklist is updated automatically to indicate that the interactive checklist item has been satisfied. | 12-25-2014 |
