Order processing for remotely ordered goods
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for processing an order, comprising:
- receiving at an order processing system an order-commencement communication from a networked mobile wireless telecommunication computing device, wherein;
the order-commencement communication is associated with an order for goods;
the networked mobile wireless telecommunication computing device is carried by a user associated with the order; and
the user associated with the order is travelling to a provider location where the goods are to be collected;
responsive to the order-commencement communication, transmitting a signal to commence processing the order for goods, wherein the order-commencement communication is transmitted when the networked mobile wireless telecommunication computing device determines that an arrival estimate for a user of the networked mobile wireless telecommunication computing device substantially coincides with an order completion estimate for the order for goods;
wherein the arrival estimate is for when the user associated with the order is expected to arrive at the provider location where the goods are to be collected; and
wherein the arrival estimate is calculated by the networked mobile wireless telecommunication computing device whereby the order processing system does not have to calculate the arrival estimate to thereby distribute processing load away from the order processing system to the networked mobile wireless telecommunication computing device.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for processing of an order for goods received at an order processing system from a location-triggered communication through a networked mobile wireless telecommunication computing device. Responsive to the location-triggered communication, a signal is transmitted to commence processing the order for goods. If the mobile wireless telecommunication computing device requests, an item list of available items and corresponding processing times for each request could also be transmitted. The item list may form part of an application program installable on the mobile wireless telecommunication computing device. The location-triggered communication may include payment information. The method may also process payment information and transmit an order receipt to the mobile wireless telecommunication computing device.
