Publication/Filing Date: Filed: Nov 16, 2009; Publication: Nov 27, 2012
Brief Description: This patent describes a real-time, localized, and mobile matching method and system for proxy purchase.
Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): This is a very strong prior art reference as it explicitly mentions "real-time, localized and mobile matching method and system for proxy purchase." This directly anticipates many core elements, including the real-time nature, mobile agents, and proxy purchasing, as described in claims 1, 27, and 28. It also aligns with the system's ability to select delivery agents based on location.

Summary of Most Relevant Prior Art:

Based on the descriptions, several prior art references appear particularly relevant due to their direct anticipation of key features of US10115067:

US20070088617A1 (Cheng-Jen Yang): Explicitly describes an "interactive real-person audio-visual on-line shop," directly anticipating the real-time video communication and interaction between a customer and a live agent for product inspection. This significantly impacts claims 1, 8, 18, 27, and 28.
US20080235038A1 (Joseph Szamel): Describes a system for "enabling live sales support," which also strongly suggests real-time interaction for remote shopping and would bear on claims 1, 8, 18, 27, and 28.
US8321298B2 (National Central University): Its title, "Real-time, localized and mobile matching method and system for proxy purchase," directly addresses real-time mobile agents performing proxy purchases, which is a fundamental concept of US10115067. This strongly anticipates claims 1, 27, and 28, as well as aspects of delivery agent selection (claim 5).
US20060111955A1 (Agilis Systems, Inc.): The "mobile resource management with customer confirmation" anticipates the deployment and tracking of mobile agents combined with customer approval of acquisition, relevant to claims 1, 7, 27, and 28.
US20060020522A1 (Pratt Wyatt B): While for real estate, the "interactive real estate property viewing" via remote means is functionally analogous to inspecting goods remotely with real-time video, making it highly relevant to claims 1, 8, 27, and 28.
US20100142758A1 (Adi Pinhas): "Method for Providing Photographed Image-Related Information to User, and Mobile System Therefor" is highly relevant to the core image capture and transmission steps.
US20120265651A1 (Ephraim David Samuel): The "remote evaluation and purchase of goods" directly impacts the customer's remote inspection and approval.

These references collectively suggest that the core elements of using a mobile agent with an image capture device to facilitate real-time remote inspection and proxy purchase of goods, followed by delivery, were known or obvious in the prior art before the priority date of US10115067.
