Systems and methods for prioritizing local shopping options
First Claim
1. A method of generating a mobile interface at a mobile device comprising:
- receiving, on a shopping service computing device, a list of target items, the list of target items including items from one or more previously established shopping lists maintained by a user within a plurality of shopping sites;
accessing busyness data associated with a local merchant which carries an item from the list of target items, the busyness data including one or more inputs received from external data sources, the busyness data representing a level of traffic within a physical location of the local merchant;
determining a current location of the mobile device by a location determination application, the location determination application executing at a server system separate from the mobile device;
correlating the busyness data to the current location of the mobile device;
generating, by the shopping service device, a map image, the map image including a visual representation of the correlated busyness data; and
causing display of the map image at the mobile device.

Abstract
Systems and methods to provide a prioritized shopping system are discussed. For example, a method can include receiving a list of target items, receiving busyness data for a plurality of local merchants, developing a prioritized shopping plan, and communicating the prioritized shopping plan to a mobile device. Each target item in the list of target items can represents a product or service that a user has indicated an interest in purchasing. The prioritized shopping plan is based at least in part on the busyness data and the list of target items. Busyness data provides an indication of traffic levels within at least a portion of the plurality of local merchants.

9. A system configured to generate a mobile interface comprising:
-
a network; and a server coupled to the network and including one or more processors to execute a plurality of modules, the plurality of modules including, a user profile module to manage a list of target items, each target item in the list of target items representing an item a user has indicated an interest in purchasing; a location module to monitor a current location of the mobile device; a merchant module to manage busyness data for a local merchants, and correlate the busyness data to the current location of the mobile device, the local merchant selling at least one target item from the list of target items; a routing module to cause display of a map image at a client device, the map image including a visual representation of the correlated busyness data; and wherein the server communicates over the network to a mobile device the prioritized shopping plan. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations to generate a mobile interface comprising:
-
receiving, on a shopping service computing device, a list of target items, the list of target items including items from one or more previously established shopping lists maintained by a user within a plurality shopping sites; accessing busyness data associated with a local merchant which carries an item from the list of target items, the busyness data including one or more inputs received from external data sources, the busyness data representing a level of traffic within a physical location of the local merchant; determining a current location of a mobile device by a location determination application, the location determination application executing at a server system separate from the mobile device; correlating the busyness data to the current location of the mobile device; generating, by the shopping service device, a map image, the map image including a visual representation of the correlated busyness data; and communicating the map image to the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
