Abstract
Abstract A remote ordering device for placing orders though cell phones or other data entry and wireless transmission devices and a data receiving station to receive the data, process the orders and keep track of accounts, inventory and retain other data as required. The receiving station can be in communication with other receiving stations to forward orders or data. The receiving station can provide instructions to a person or machine to fill orders at any desired location. The instructions may be printed out or displayed on a screen. A GPS, WAP or other location finding systems, may be used to identify the user's location. Bioelectronics, Caller I.D, pin numbers or other identification means can be used to verify the user for debiting accounts or credit cards. Users can remotely order tickets, meals, services, or control machines remotely and either arrange for pick up at a desired location or for delivery.
