DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A notification system having a computer-based architecture using one or more computers, the notification system comprising:
- (A) one or more memories for storing computer program code; and
(B) one or more processors for executing the computer program code stored in the one or more memories, the computer program code comprising;
(1) code designed to enable the notification system to engage in a first communication session with a first personal communication device (PCD) associated with a first party so that delivery or pickup information in connection with a good or service can be communicated;
(2) code designed to, during the first communication session, enable the first party to input or select at least (a) an identification of the good or service, (b) a quantity of the good or service, (c) a stop location for a delivery or pickup of the good or service, and (d) contact information defining how to contact the first party, the contact information being associated with the first PCD or a second PCD;
(3) code designed to analyze timing information pertaining to delivery or pickup of the good or service at the stop location;
(4) code designed to enable the notification system to engage in a second communication session with the first party via the first or second PCDs based upon the timing information;
(5) code designed to, during the second communication session, provide or enable viewing of purchase order information to the first party associated with the first PCD, the purchase order information indicating at least one of the foregoing (a), (b), (c), or (d);
(6) code designed to, during the second communication session, enable the first party associated with the first PCD to change at least one of (a), (b), (c), or (d) of the purchase order information; and
(7) code designed to produce modified purchase order information reflecting the change made by the first party associated with the first PCD and communicate the modified purchase order information to the first party associated with the first PCD.
