ELECTRONIC GIFTING PROCESS AND APPARATUS

摘要

A computer-implemented method of purchasing an item and transmitting a message to a recipient of the item is presented. The method entails receiving location data about where the item can be picked up, obtaining a recipient address, receiving personal content for the recipient, and combining the location data with the personal content to create an electronic data package. The personal content may include one or more of an image, a written message, an audio segment, and a video segment. The electronic data package is transmitted to the recipient address. Optionally, the data in the data package (other than the location data) may be customized such that it is disclosed to a recipient at a pre-specified physical location.
