I'm not going to comment on the substance of the application, I have no idea.
I just wanted to point out that A1 at the end of this document means this is JUST a published application.
One would need to find each "GRANTED" application that claims priority to this application to find any patents. Then one would need to read the claims on each patent to really know what it covers.
The WO at the beginning means it was filed with WIPO first, which is not any particular country. WIPO is the World Intellectual Property Organization. This is an application process that makes it simpler to go to multiple countries, but every country has its own process (the EU countries have more synergy in the process and their own EP process).
Hi greensoap, you are correct that Amazon patent application is not GRANTED as of yet. If there is a B at the end of the document number, it is GRANTED.
