INTEGRATING LOCAL PRODUCTS INTO GLOBAL WEB SERVICES,
First Claim
1. A method for shopping, the method comprising:
- scanning, using a mobile computing device, a first optical code corresponding to a first product for which a global server system has a record;
scanning, using the mobile computing device, a second optical code from a display of an in-store optical code scanner, the second optical code corresponding to a second product for which the global server system does not have a record; and
invoking, by the mobile computing device, addition of the first and second products to a shopping list.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for integrating locally carried products into web services provided by a global server. A user computing device, such as a mobile phone, is used to scan optical codes for products. A product identifier extracted from the optical code is used to request product information from a global server system with respect to the product or to take an action with respect to the product, such as adding the product to an electronic shopping cart. For locally carried products, notice may be provided to the user computing device to scan the product using an in-store scanner. Upon scanning the optical code, the in-store scanner retrieves product information from a local server system and encodes this information in an optical code, which the user computing device scans in order to use with respect to a web service or web-integrated transaction.

10. A system for shopping, the system comprising a mobile computing device including one or more processors and one or more memory devices operably coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more memory devices storing executable and operational data effective to cause the one or more processors to:
-
scan a first optical code corresponding to a first product for which a global server system has a record; scan a second optical code from a display of an in-store optical code scanner, the second optical code corresponding to a second product for which the global server system does not have a record; and invoke addition of the first and second products to a shopping list. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
