Patent number: 11893530Abstract: Systems, method and computer readable medium are provided for automated storage and retrieval. User authentication information is received via a user interface for a dynamic storage and retrieval device. The user identity is verified based upon the authentication information and previously stored authentication data. Order information is retrieved for an order associated with the user following the verifying of user identity, the order information indicating one or more locations for items associated with the order. Instructions are transmitted to initiate a physical opening of at least one of the dynamic storage and retrieval device and at least one static storage location to enable the user to retrieve at least one item of the order, the static storage location including a controller controlling a locking mechanism and communicatively coupled to the dynamic storage and retrieval device.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Paul Edward Durkee, Stuart William Clark, Colin Holmes, Jason Shaffer, Mark Ibbotson, John Suarez

Patent number: 10853871Abstract: A system includes a database having a plurality of purchasable items. The system also includes an order server programmed to display a website including the purchasable items to a customer via a customer device and allow the customer to select the purchasable items for purchase. The selected items are added to an online order, and a request to complete the order is received from the customer device. A selection of a pick-up time for the customer to retrieve the order at a store is received. The online order and the selected pick-up time are transmitted to an order assembly server. The order assembly server is configured to begin assembling the selected purchasable items for pick-up at the store, receive a selection of an additional purchasable item to add to the selected pick-up time, and assemble the order and the additional purchasable item for pick-up at the selected pickup time.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2017Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: WALMART APOLLO, LLCInventors: Austin Smith, Arnon Katz, Michael Ebener, Vidyanand Krishnan, Jason Shaffer
