Said remote server automatically checks its database on said location and its identity, and finds said location is one of said locations registered with a national chain that runs a database and webserver. It has been authorized on database of said remote server to allow direct connection between said database and webserver of said national chain and said software application installed on said cellphone via said remote server or via an onsite wireless communication apparatus. Starting from this point and via said remote server, said database and webserver of said national chain and said software installed on said cellphone directly communicate and transfer data, commands and requests. All information and programs received on said software application installed on said cellphone are directly sent out from said database and webserver of said national chain.
When said user enters said supermarket, said software application plays sound alert and gets attention of said user; a pre-recorded audio announces a welcome message and new products and good deals of said market for said day with location images; and also displays a text entering box allowing shoppers to search for specific product. Said user did not use text enter box, rather speaks to said microphone on said cellphone and looking for “ACB brand coffee”, said database and webserver of said national chain locates said product and sends back information and flashing with “Star” sign on a place on a shelf in aisle 1. Said user directly goes to said place and picks up said product without wasting anytime.
As soon as said user leaves said location of said supermarket, said remote server cut off said connection between said database and webserver of said national chain and said software application installed on said cellphone, said software application automatically is closed on screen of said cellphone.
