RFID system for predictive product purchase date evaluation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computerized system and method for establishing consumer purchase date for a specific product or its packaging carton based on operating parameters recorded in the Electronic Product Code Network (“
- EPC Network”
);
whenever an item-specific printed sales purchase receipt, or electronic local transaction purchase database date verification record, is unavailable for physical presentation by a customer or computerized look up at a retail store, repair service or product exchange location.

Abstract
Operating parameters and potentially related event dates are gathered from end users of computer systems and fed into a predictive model to generate post-sale predictions of purchase date when a product is presented from end users and fed into the prediction model. Products may be accepted for service, repair, return, and exchange based on predictions of purchase date reported by the system with an associated confidence level.

9. A general purpose computer system executing logic comprising:
- receiving first data representing at least one computer system operating parameter and associated computer system event date and location;
generating at least one predictive model based on the first data;
receiving second data representing at least one computer system operating parameter;
inputting the second data to the predictive model; and
executing the predictive model to generate at least one prediction of a purchase date, or purchase date estimate range, and an associated confidence percentile level reported together with the predictive estimate date(s);
whenever an item-specific printed sales purchase receipt, or electronic local transaction purchase database date verification record, is unavailable for physical presentation by a customer or computerized look up at a retail store, repair or product exchange location. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

19. A service, comprising:
- generating a prediction of a purchase date of at least a first computer system component associated with a first user based at least in part on correlating operating parameters and date and ERPC/RFID reader event location data from plural user computer systems with at least one operating parameter of the first computer system component; and
providing at least one service to the first user selected from the group of services consisting of;
accepting for return at least one purchased product based at least in part on the prediction; and
establishing at least one sales activity related to the first computer system component based at least in part on the prediction;
whenever an item-specific printed sales purchase receipt, or electronic local transaction purchase database date verification record, is unavailable for physical presentation by a customer or computerized look up at a retail store, repair or product exchange location.
- generating a prediction of a purchase date of at least a first computer system component associated with a first user based at least in part on correlating operating parameters and date and ERPC/RFID reader event location data from plural user computer systems with at least one operating parameter of the first computer system component; and
