Patent number: 10915852Abstract: Automated package deliveries comprises a server at a package delivery system that receives a request for a package delivery, the request comprising an identification of a package and an identification of a first kiosk location. The server associates the package with an aerial delivery device and a user authentication to retrieve the package. The server transmits to the delivery device instructions to deliver the package to the first kiosk. Subsequently, the server receives a request from a user computing device to retrieve the package from the first kiosk and deliver the package to an alternate kiosk. The server transmits to the delivery device instructions to retrieve the package from the first kiosk and instructions to deliver the package to the alternate kiosk. The delivery device retrieves the package from the automated kiosk and delivers the package to the alternate kiosk.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2017Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Brandon Kyle Trew, Ameena Hassam

Patent number: 10346784Abstract: Receiving an event queue including unprocessed delivery events, each characterized by an event time. Iteratively, until a stopping condition, for an unprocessed event from the queue, setting a simulation time to the earliest event time; processing the unprocessed event; determining at least one simulated performance measure based on characteristics of system agents over the simulation period; and transmitting the determined performance measure for display. Where unprocessed event is a route planning event, processing includes requesting, and receiving, route planning from a shipping system of the near-term delivery system. Processing further comprises identifying events derivative from the unprocessed event, and adding the identified derivative events to the event queue. Processing further comprises updating the status of each agent as a function of derivative events and received route planning information.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2014Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: James Powell, Michael Nathan Nonemacher, Haakan Younes, Brandon Kyle Trew
