Abstract: Described in detail herein are systems and methods for network environment for a dynamic learning system for object matching and substitution using hand-held electronic devices. In exemplary embodiments, a hand-held electronic device may receive a request for physical objects of which a first physical object may be unavailable. The hand-held electronic device may transmit an identifier of the first physical object to a central computing system. The central computing system may query the database to retrieve data associated with the first physical object. The centrally computing system may attempt to match the first physical object to an available physical object based on dynamically learned matching behavior using the retrieved data. In response to matching data associated with one of the available physical objects to the data associated with the first physical object the central computing system may learn to replace the first physical object on the list with the one of the available physical objects based on dynamically learned matching behavior.

Abstract: A retail sales facility that includes a plurality of items offered for sale to remote customers further includes at least one delivery vehicle configured to carry ordered items to customer-specified delivery addresses. A corresponding control circuit receives information from remote customers regarding items to be ordered and delivered along with information specifying a delivery address and a desired timeframe for delivery of the item. The control circuit automatically uses the delivery address and the desired timeframe to present the remote customer with a corresponding delivery cost and to also present at least one suggestion regarding at least one delivery parameter that, if modified, would result in a reduced delivery cost. When the remote customer responds to the at least one suggestion, the control circuit automatically modifies the corresponding delivery cost.
