Abstract:
Systems, methods and applications for using electronic lists to facilitate commerce, excursion organization and political discourse are described. The cloud based infrastructure described supports smart device APPS that encourage users to create electronic lists that include information that can be searched and used for targeted marketing without compromising the anonymity of the users. By providing IT infrastructure that facilitates and encourages users to create and share multiple lists, the system makes it possible to provide vendors, suppliers, marketers and interest organizations with direct information that is more valuable that information inferred from web browsing or other indirect acts. The information obtained directly from the users can then be used to facilitate commercial and other transactions. Lists stored within the system may be used to facilitate a distributed distribution system using trusted drivers and authorized affiliates.
Abstract:
The communication hardware of the system is controlled by software processes that are preferably grouped as engines that also retrieve process and store data using system hardware. The engines control the communication system hardware to send and receive signals to and from users of the system. The communication signals may include data and control signals for exchanging information and also control signals for remote hardware that, for example, generate displays on user hardware such as smart devices. The communications system allows coordination of segmented order deliveries in a segmented order distributed distribution system. The infrastructure described supports efficient communication to a network of couriers and smart device APPS. Systems, methods and applications for using electronic lists to facilitate commerce, excursion organization and political discourse are also described. Lists stored within the system may be used to facilitate a distributed distribution system using trusted drivers and authorized affiliates.
