SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CUSTOMIZING INFORMATION DISPLAYED ON TOUCH-SCREENS BASED ON LOCATION DATA
First Claim
1. A smart phone device, comprising:
- a location component comprising a global positioning system (GPS) receiver configured to receive location data that indicates a location of the smart phone device;
a touch-screen configured to;
display a digital map comprising one or more locations within a selectable radius from the location of the smart phone device; and
display one or more item categories corresponding to the one or more specified locations; and
a digital signal processor configured to;
receive first touch-screen data based on a first touch-sense input detected on a surface of the touch-screen that indicates an item category selected from the one or more item categories, wherein the selected item category corresponds to a specified location of the one or more locations;
receive second touch-screen data based on a second touch-sense input detected on the surface of the touch-screen that indicates a period of time and a target group; and
responsive to the first touch-screen data and the second touch-screen data received, cause the touch-screen to display a graphical representation associated with the selected item category from the specified location acquired for the target group over the period of time.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for running a product trend application on a user device to obtain personalized product trend information from a service provider when making in-store purchase decisions. The user may use the product trend application to specify product trend information for products in a product category, for products purchased from a specific store, and/or for products purchased over a specified time period. The user device may obtain and transmit its current location to the service provider, which may provide a list of stores in the vicinity of the user device for which the product trend information is available. The user may also use the product trend application to select how the product trend information is filtered and displayed. Advantageously, the user may tailor the product trend information to the requirements of the user, such as to find the most popular product in a product category.

7. A network server system configured to exchange communication data over a network and enable client devices to display data, the network server system comprising:
-
a network server interface that receives cellular data from a communication device, wherein the cellular data indicates a location of the communication device; and a network server processor that executes a plurality of machine-readable instructions stored in memory of the network server system to perform the following operations; transmit location data to the communication device, wherein the location data indicates one or more of specified locations within a selectable radius from the location of the communication device and one or more item categories provided by the one or more specified locations; process input data received based at least on a touch-sense input detected by the communication device, wherein the input data indicates an item category selected from the one or more item categories, a target group, and a period of time; generate item data that indicates the selected item category from the one or more specified locations acquired for the target group over the period of time; and transmit the item data to the communication device to enable a touch-screen of the communication device to display a graphical representation associated with the selected item category from the one or more specified locations acquired for the target group over the period of time. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method of exchanging communication data over a network and enabling client devices to display data, the method comprising:
-
receiving cellular base-station data from a communication device, wherein the cellular base-station data indicates a location of the communication device; transmitting location data to the communication device, wherein the location data indicates one or more of specified store locations within a selectable radius from the location of the communication device and one or more item categories provided by the one or more specified store locations; processing input data received based on a touch-sense input detected by the communication device, wherein the input data indicates an item category selected from the one or more item categories, a target age group, and a period of time; generating item data that indicates the selected item category from the one or more specified locations acquired for the target age group over the period of time; and transmitting the item data to the communication device to enable a touch-screen of the communication device to display a graphical representation associated with the selected item category from the one or more specified locations acquired for the target age group over the period of time. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
