SYSTEM FOR CONSUMER-TRANSACTION INFORMATION THAT FOLLOWS THE CONSUMER

摘要

Apparatus and method for storing and retrieving consumer-transaction information. The method includes capturing transaction information regarding a consumer at a first merchant, storing the capatured selection information on a server and applying that captured transaction information to a transaction involving the consumer at a second merchant. Before applying the captured transaction information, the consumer is identified in a transaction at the second merchant. The first and second merchants and the server may be communicatively coupled by means of an internet - perhaps even the Internet. The type of transaction information captured may include credit information or loyalty information. The second transaction may be initiated by a browser on a personal computer connected to the Internet.
