Database mining techniques for generating customer-specific maps in retail applications
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- at least one database comprising;
map data defining a layout of a retail facility;
product data identifying products for sale at the retail facility;
location data defining a location of each product of the products for sale at the retail facility;
purchase data relating to at least one product previously purchased by a specific consumer, the products comprising the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer; and
promotion data identifying at least one promotion available for the products at the retail facility;
a search engine module configured to access the map data, the location data, the purchase data, and the promotion data;
a tracking system for determining a location of a computing device at the retail facility; and
a processor configured to;
correlate, using the product data, the purchase data and the promotion data, the at least one promotion with the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer;
generate for presentation on a display of the computing device (a) a map of the layout of the retail facility wherein the map indicates, with respect to the layout, the location of the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer and (b) the at least one promotion correlated with the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer; and
hide the location of the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer on the map when the location of the computing device is beyond a predetermined proximity to the location of the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer.

Abstract
Techniques related to presentation of consumer-specific maps are disclosed. The techniques involve accessing, with a search engine module, from at least one database, map data defining a layout of a retail facility, product data identifying products for sale at the retail facility, location data defining a location of the products, purchase data relating to products previously purchased by a specific consumer, and promotion data identifying promotions available for the products. A processor analyzes the data and correlates promotions with the products previously purchased by the specific consumer. The processor generates a map of the layout of the retail facility that is presentable on a display of a computing device. The map indicates with respect to the layout the location of the products previously purchased by the specific consumer and the promotions correlated with the products previously purchased by the specific consumer.

11. A computer-implemented method, including the steps of:
-
accessing, with a search engine module, from at least one database; map data defining a layout of a retail facility; product data identifying products for sale at the retail facility; location data defining a location of each product of the products for sale at the retail facility; purchase data relating to at least one product previously purchased by a specific consumer, the products comprising the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer; and promotion data identifying at least one promotion available for the products at the retail facility; analyzing, using a processor, the map data, the location data, the product data, the purchase data and the promotion data; correlating, using the processor, the at least one promotion with the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer; generating, using the processor, (a) a map of the layout of the retail facility that is presentable on a display of a computing device, wherein the map indicates, with respect to the layout, the location of the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer and (b) the at least one promotion correlated with the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer; determining, using a tracking system, a location of the computing device at the retail facility; and hiding, using the processor, the location of the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer on the map when the location of the computing device is beyond a predetermined proximity to the location of the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media, having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to:
-
access from at least one database; map data defining a layout of a retail facility; product data identifying products for sale at the retail facility; location data defining a location of each product of the products for sale at the retail facility; purchase data relating to at least one product previously purchased by a specific consumer, the products comprising the at least one product previously purchased by a specific consumer; and promotion data identifying at least one promotion available for the products at the retail facility; analyze the map data, the location data, the product data, the purchase data and the promotion data; correlate the at least one promotion with the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer; generate (a) a map of the layout of the retail facility that is presentable on a display of a computing device, wherein the map indicates, with respect to the layout, the location of the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer and (b) the at least one promotion correlated with the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer; determine a location of the computing device at the retail facility; and hide the location of the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer on the map when the location of the computing device is beyond a predetermined proximity to the location of the at least one product previously purchased by the specific consumer.
