Abstract
A user of a wireless communication device (WCD) is reminded to stop at a store along a route of the user'"'"'s vehicle based on a list of items needed, geographic location, and previous established behavior patterns, e.g., whether the user has stopped at a particular store close to the current time of day, along the current route of the vehicle, one or more times before. Shopping locations are verified at the location with a simple confirmation dialog on the WCD and suggested names are provided from a list of points of interests. Items to be purchased can then be added to a location-based shopping list by using a digital camera on the WCD to image the item and/or the barcode of the item and find the item in a database of images and barcodes.
