Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for leveraging user shopping habits to deliver store-relevant materials in a more efficient manner. User location and other relevant information may be analyzed to predict an in-store shopping path for future visits, which may include different store areas each having different store-relevant materials (e.g., coupons) associated therewith. Upon a user visiting the store on a future visit, the predicted path may be used to upload data to the user's portable computing device for store-relevant materials in the order in which they will likely be needed. As the user moves within the store, the portable computing device may purge data associated with store areas that have already been visited while pre-fetching the next store area likely to be visited next.
