PROTECTING CONSUMER SAFETY AND PRIVACY

摘要

In a computer-implemented method for product notification a mobile subscriber identity is transmitted to register the user for a product notification service without transmitting the name of the user. A product provider identifier is sent and a notification pertaining to products associated with the product provider identifier is received in accordance with the product notification service. This and other methods may be performed with a system including a processor, a memory and an application loaded on the memory. The application further includes a transmitter configured to send a mobile subscriber identity associated with a user from the mobile device to anonymously register the user for a notification service and to send an identifier of one or more providers of products received by the user and a messenger arranged to receive a notification.
