Retail User Interface for Dynamic Behavior Configuration

A network computing device for generating business rules for a retail system, the network computing device comprising:

• communications interface circuitry configured to communicate with one or more Point-of-Sale (POS) devices in the retail system;
• and
• processing circuitry operatively coupled to the communications interface circuitry and configured to:
• receive rule data from a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the rule data comprises retail context information for a retail business associated with the retail system;
• generate a business rule template based on the retail context information included in the rule data;
• validate the business rule template based on the retail context information and on sample business data, wherein to validate the business rule data, the processing circuit is configured to conditionally perform one or more PoS actions according to the retail context information;
• and
• activate the business rule template for use by the POS devices in the retail system responsive to determining that the business rule template is valid.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program thereon, the computer program comprising instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry of a network computing device in a retail system, configures the network computing device to:

• receive rule data from a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the rule data comprises retail context information for a retail business associated with the retail system;
• generate a business rule template based on the retail context information included in the rule data;
• validate the business rule template based on the retail context information and on sample business data, wherein to validate the business rule data, the network computing device conditionally performs one or more Point of Sale (PoS) actions according to the retail context information;
• and
• activate the business rule template for use by the POS devices in the retail system responsive to determining that the business rule template is valid.
