Publication Date: February 15, 2000 (Priority Date: April 15, 1997)
Brief Description: Interactive electronic shopping system and method. This patent describes an online shopping system.
Potential Anticipated Claims (35 U.S.C. § 102): Without access to the full text, it's difficult to definitively say. However, the title suggests a general electronic shopping system. For anticipation, it would need to explicitly disclose all steps of Claim 1, 24, or 26, including the mobile agent, real-time image transmission for product-specific inspection and approval of the exact product shown, and subsequent acquisition and delivery by that agent. Traditional e-commerce systems typically do not include the real-time agent-customer interaction for product inspection.

28. US20060020522A1

Full Citation: US20060020522A1, Pratt Wyatt B
Publication Date: January 26, 2006 (Priority Date: July 26, 2004)
Brief Description: Method of conducting interactive real estate property viewing.
Potential Anticipated Claims (35 U.S.C. § 102): This is highly relevant as it describes "interactive real estate property viewing," which involves remote viewing and interaction. While the object is real estate rather than goods, the method of real-time remote viewing with interaction could potentially anticipate elements of image capture, real-time transmission, and remote inspection. If the claims are broad enough to cover any "goods" or "items," this could be an anticipatory reference for the visual inspection aspect, but not necessarily the acquisition and delivery of tangible products by an agent.

Full Citation: US20060259369A1, International Business Machines Corporation
Publication Date: November 16, 2006 (Priority Date: May 12, 2005)
Brief Description: Virtual grocery shopping.
Potential Anticipated Claims (35 U.S.C. § 102): "Virtual grocery shopping" is relevant. The term "virtual" might imply a simulated environment rather than a real-time human agent. However, if it discloses a human agent in a real store transmitting real-time images for customer approval of the exact items, it could anticipate.

38. US7206647B2

Full Citation: US7206647B2, Ncr Corporation
Publication Date: April 17, 2007 (Priority Date: March 21, 2002)
Brief Description: E-appliance for mobile online retailing.

Publication Date: February 14, 2008 (Priority Date: November 5, 1999)
Brief Description: Interactive in-store/in-mall and on-line shopping system and method.
Potential Anticipated Claims (35 U.S.C. § 102): "Interactive in-store/in-mall and on-line shopping system" is very strong. If this system describes a mobile agent using a digital image capture device to transmit real-time images of a particular product to a customer for inspection and approval of the exact product shown before acquisition and delivery, it could strongly anticipate claims 1, 24, and 26.

48. US20080077956A1

Full Citation: US20080077956A1, James Morrison
Publication Date: March 27, 2008 (Priority Date: September 12, 2006)
Brief Description: Interactive digital media services.
Potential Anticipated Claims (35 U.S.C. § 102): This is very general about interactive digital media. It's unlikely to anticipate the specific method of remote acquisition and delivery with a human mobile agent and real-time product inspection for approval.

49. US20080086386A1

Full Citation: US20080086386A1, Bell Stephen F
Publication Date: April 10, 2008 (Priority Date: October 10, 2006)
Brief Description: Conducting Remote Shopping Events. This patent describes a system where a customer can conduct a remote shopping event through a shopping agent. The agent uses a portable communication device (e.g., a camera-equipped smartphone) to communicate with the remote customer, allowing the customer to view items and provide instructions. The system enables the agent to acquire goods and deliver them.
Potential Anticipated Claims (35 U.S.C. § 102): This is one of the most relevant references for anticipation. As noted in the "Obviousness" section, Bell '386 (which is the same as this reference) strongly discloses the core concepts of claims 1, 24, and 26. Specifically, it describes a mobile agent, using a camera-equipped device, communicating with a customer in real-time to view items, and then acquiring and delivering them. If it explicitly states the transmission of an image of a particular product for the customer to inspect and approve the purchase of the particular product exactly shown in the image, then it would directly anticipate the independent claims. Even if not explicitly stated, the context of "viewing items" via a camera by a remote customer implies this.

Potential Anticipated Claims (35 U.S.C. § 102): This is highly relevant as "personal mobile shopping network" with "multimedia messaging feature of mobile cellular phones and PDA devices" strongly suggests the core features of US10628835. If it describes a mobile human agent using the multimedia messaging to transmit real-time images of a particular product for customer inspection and approval of the exact product shown before acquisition and delivery, it could very likely anticipate claims 1, 24, and 26. This is another strong potential anticipatory reference.

Brief Description: System and Method for Remote Acquisition and Delivery of Goods. This is a related application from one of the inventors of US10628835.
Potential Anticipated Claims (35 U.S.C. § 102): This reference is a parent application to US10628835. As a direct continuation-in-part or closely related filing, it is likely to disclose much of the subject matter of US10628835. If its priority date (August 26, 2009) predates the effective filing date of any particular claim of US10628835 that is not entitled to the earlier priority date, it could anticipate those claims. Since it's from the same inventor and on the same subject, it's highly likely to anticipate many, if not all, of the independent claims.

Publication Date: November 27, 2012 (Priority Date: November 16, 2009)
Brief Description: Real-time, localized and mobile matching method and system for proxy purchase.
Potential Anticipated Claims (35 U.S.C. § 102): This is another extremely relevant reference, particularly with "real-time, localized and mobile matching method and system for proxy purchase." A "proxy purchase" is essentially an agent acquiring goods on behalf of another. If this patent explicitly details a mobile agent transmitting real-time images of a particular product for customer inspection and approval of the exact product shown before acquisition and subsequent delivery, it would very strongly anticipate claims 1, 24, and 26. This is one of the strongest potential anticipatory references, given its title and priority date relative to US10628835.

Summary of Most Relevant Prior Art for Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102):

Based on the titles and brief descriptions, the following references appear to be the most promising for potentially anticipating the independent claims of US10628835, assuming they contain sufficiently explicit disclosures of all elements:

US20080086386A1 (Bell Stephen F): "Conducting Remote Shopping Events" is highly aligned with the core concept of a mobile agent facilitating remote shopping with real-time visual interaction, acquisition, and delivery.
US20070088617A1 (Cheng-Jen Yang): "System of interactive real-person audio-visual on-line shop" directly points to human, real-time audio-visual interaction in an online shopping context, which is a key distinguishing feature of US10628835.
US20110055046A1 (Mark Baron Bowen): "System and Method for Remote Acquisition and Delivery of Goods" is a patent from one of the same inventors and is a direct parent application. It is highly likely to anticipate the claims.
US8321298B2 (National Central University): "Real-time, localized and mobile matching method and system for proxy purchase" describes a very similar concept, particularly the "proxy purchase" by a "mobile" system in "real-time."
US6587835B1 (G. Victor Treyz): "Shopping assistance with handheld computing device" is also highly relevant, depending on the specifics of the "assistance" and use of the "handheld computing device."
US20030125963A1 (Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.): "Wireless interactive rendezvous system for delivering goods and services" could also be very close to anticipating the claims, especially if the "interactive" aspect includes real-time visual product inspection.
US6604681B1 (Advanced Research And Technology Institute, Inc.): "Evaluative shopping assistant system" also has strong potential if the "evaluative" part involves real-time visual inspection for customer approval by an agent.
US20040199435A1 (Abrams David Hardin): "Method and apparatus for remote location shopping over a computer network" suggests a comprehensive remote shopping system that might anticipate.
US6965868B1 (Michael David Bednarek): "System and method for promoting commerce, including sales agent assisted commerce" is relevant due to "sales agent assisted commerce."
US7040541B2 (Symbol Technologies, Inc.): "Portable shopping and order fulfillment system" could also be highly relevant.
US20100142758A1 (Adi Pinhas): "Method for Providing Photographed Image-Related Information to User, and Mobile System Therefor" is very relevant to the image capture and mobile system aspects.
US20110022499A1 (Shakira Nida Hogan): "Personal mobile shopping network - a method of sales and retailing involving multimedia messaging feature of mobile cellular phones and PDA devices" is very close to the described invention.
US20110145093A1 (AisleBuyer LLC): "Systems and methods for purchasing products from a retail establishment using a mobile device" is highly pertinent.
US20120265651A1 (Ephraim David Samuel): "Method and system for the remote evaluation and purchase of goods" directly addresses remote evaluation and purchase.

It's important to note that a definitive determination of anticipation would require a full review of the specifications and claims of each cited prior art patent. The above analysis is based on the titles and brief descriptions available in the provided text.
