Claim requirement

Technical interpretation — not claim language

The monitored geographic location is not arbitrary. It must stand in a defined relationship to the retailer-associated system — in practice, the retailer’s own commercial premises or points of interest.

Publicly disclosed Woosmap functionality

Woosmap expressly supports “Stores Geofences” and states that geofences are automatically built around stores hosted on the Woosmap platform. Its documentation states that a geofence may represent a store, a competitor store, a neighbourhood or another point of interest.

Woosmap Geofencing — SDK concepts documentation

Definition of geofencing as monitoring of a geographic area to recognise device presence within a boundary; enter/exit boundary-crossing events; geofences representing a store, competitor store, neighbourhood or other point of interest; automatically generated store geofences; and isochrone (time-based) geofences monitored against estimated time of arrival.

Technical correspondence

Woosmap’s store-asset model produces exactly the tie contemplated by the limitation: the monitored region is derived from retailer store records held on the platform, so the geographic location is associated with the retailer environment by construction rather than by configuration accident.

Matters for further review

Whether the platform-hosted store dataset in a specific United States deployment is the retailer’s own estate, and how it relates to the entity operating the retailer-side system, should be confirmed at deployment level.
