System and method for generating a product order from a product sample
First Claim
1. A method for generating a product order from a product sample, the product sample having a configuration of components, the method comprising:
- initiating the product order at an operating product sample;
retrieving configuration information from the product sample, the configuration information identifying the configuration of components;
communicating the configuration information from the product sample through a network to a network location;
applying the configuration information at the network location to generate a product order for a product having the product sample configuration of components;
determining an alert associated with the generated product order;
wherein the alert is provided in response to differences between components of the product sample configuration and a configuration of the generated product order.

Abstract
A product order is automatically generated from a product sample by an indication made at the product sample. For example, configuration information of an information handling system is communicated through a network to an order engine that applies the configuration information to generate an order for a similarly-configured information handling system. The order is communicated from the order engine for presentation at the information handling system to allow alterations to the order configuration, purchase of an information handling system with the order or storage of the order for subsequent alteration or purchase.

8. A system for generating a product order from a product sample, the system comprising:
-
a processing device associated with the product sample and having instructions for; an order module operable to run on the product sample processing device to determine configuration information associated with the product sample and to communicate the configuration information through a network; an order engine running at a network location, the order engine operable to interface with the order module to receive the configuration information and to apply the configuration information to generate an order for a product having the configuration of the product sample; an alert engine operable to determine an alert regarding the generated product order, wherein the alert engine is operable to determine an alert in response to differences between components of the product sample configuration and a configuration of the generated product order. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
