Editing Consumerium buying signal

A '''Consumerium buying signal''' travels over the [[healthy buying infrastructure]] to the [[front end user]] of [[Consumerium Services]].

This could be actually experienced by the user in a great many ways.  The [[Signal Wiki]] should have no bias as to how the signal is delivered.  That's the main reason the language IS so abstract right now, actually.

*[[Web browser]] access to the [[Signal Wiki]] would be the default for in-home or in-office use, and might constitute the bulk of [[Consumerium Service access]].  However, it would not reach the actual [[point of purchase]]. This combined with [[Checkout Consumerium]] functionality, where you can grab the id's of products you just bought and take them out on you home or office computer.

*We could distribute data on what's in the store in [[book]] or [[leaflet]] form, even customized book form.  You could for instance slide a [[frequent buyer card]] into a slot, and get a printed book with [[price premium]] information customized to you, or generic information like [[score]]s for at least some subset of highlighted products.  This requires [[friendly retail]].

:[[Coupon]]s might tie in well to this kind of system.

*Data might get printed at the [[retail shelf]] [[display card]] or [[leaflet]] someday if some chain or region or nation decides to require it - the first step to [[Consumerium Country]].  This might be a way to positively market [[local food]], for instance, and could work with tie-ins to the [[Slow Food]] people. This requires [[friendly retail]].

*Customized and definitive buying advice, seen by the end user as a [[red light|red]]/[[yellow light|yellow]]/[[green light|green]] traffic-type '''signal''', or as a [[score]] easily translated into a [[price premium]], or as a note in [[Simple English]] about issues with, or merits of, the [[product]] at the [[retail shelf]].

:These would be expected to enable [[intrashop comparison]] of two products that the user is just about to buy, and it would be possible to get feedback on what you did buy, perhaps, if the [[checkout counter]] cooperates in the system.

As a '''healthy signal''', it should be sent only over a [[healthy signal infrastructure]].  These might be standard TCP/IP networks, [[Bluetooth]] or [[radio]].  If it can be an [[audio]] signal, that's good.

The exact means of delivery probably depends on the way the system is made [[self-funding]], what [[marketing tie-in]]s are possible, etc..  This is a task of the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] and probably affects the [[Consumerium License]].
