System and apparatus for managing tasks

A non-transitory, machine-readable medium having stored therein computer-readable instructions, which when executed by a processing system including a processor, cause the processing system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a list of commodity items selected at a communication device, wherein the communication device accesses a first behavioral profile of a user of the communication device, wherein the communication device presents a meal option determined according to the first behavioral profile, wherein the list of commodity items selected at the communication device includes a recipe item associated with a selection of the meal option, and wherein the recipe item is identified according to a recipe library;
• retrieving a second behavioral profile of the user of the communication device, wherein the second behavioral profile is different from the first behavioral profile;
• determining an identity of a suggested commodity item according to the second behavioral profile associated with the user of the communication device;
• generating a shopping list comprising the list of commodity items, the identity of the suggested commodity item, and navigation instructions for locating items of the shopping list at a shopping premises, wherein the shopping list is arranged according to relative locations of the items of the shopping list at the shopping premises, and wherein the navigation instructions are further generated according to global positioning system location information associated with the communication device;
• transmitting the shopping list and the navigation instructions to the communication device;
• and
• receiving scanned data captured at the communication device, wherein the scanned data is associated with a barcode of a first item of the shopping list.

A server device, comprising:

• a processing system including a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• accessing a list of commodity items selected at a communication device, wherein the communication device accesses a first behavioral profile of a user of the communication device, wherein the communication device presents a meal option determined according to the first behavioral profile, wherein the list of commodity items selected at the communication device includes a recipe item associated with a selection of the meal option, and wherein the recipe item is identified according to a recipe library;
• retrieving a second behavioral profile of the user of the communication device, wherein the second behavioral profile is different from the first behavioral profile;
• determining an identity of a suggested commodity item according to the second behavioral profile associated with the user of the communication device;
• generating a shopping list comprising the list of commodity items, the identity of the suggested commodity item, and navigation instructions for locating the items of the shopping list at a shopping premises, wherein the shopping list is arranged according to relative locations of the items of the shopping list at the shopping premises and to reduce ambient exposure time of a first item of the shopping list, and wherein the navigation instructions are further generated according to global positioning system location information associated with the communication device;
• and
• transmitting the shopping list and the navigation instructions to the communication device.
