CA 2278745

A method and system that enables service providers to receive an order from a mobile customer, receive customer location information from a location determination system, and schedule the completion of the customer's order to coincide with the customer's arrival at a local facility able to satisfy the customer's order. In one embodiment, the mobile customer is associated with a tracking device connected to a mobile location determination system that determines the customer's location, which is then given to the service provider. The service provider uses the customer's location to determine a local facility that can satisfy the customer's order. The service provider transmits the order to the local facility and schedules the fulfillment of the order to coincide with the customer's arrival at the local facility. To further expedite the order, customers may pay electronically for the service in advance. The service provider also may maintain a database of customer transactions that can be used to determine customer preferences.

Cette invention concerne un procédé et un appareil qui permettent à un fournisseur de services de prendre une commande provenant d'un client dans un véhicule en mouvement, de recevoir des informations sur l'emplacement de ce client grâce à un système de localisation et de programmer ladite commande pour qu'elle soit prête au moment où le client arrive à une installation locale capable de traiter ladite commande. Selon un mode de réalisation, le client mobile est doté d'une balise reliée à un système de localisation de point mobile qui détermine l'emplacement du client et le communique au fournisseur de services. Ce fournisseur transmet la commande à un service local qui traite la commande pour qu'elle soit prête à l'arrivée du client audit service local. Le client peut régler électroniquement et par avance la commande de manière à en accélérer le traitement. Le fournisseur de services a également la possibilité de tenir un fichier des transactions effectuées par le client afin de déterminer les préférences dudit client.
