Patent number: 10489269Abstract: A technique for generating terminal resource recommendations is discussed. Terminal activity status data is retrieved from a number of sensors in order to generate and render terminal resource recommendations. The activity status data is used to calculate a current active terminal recommendation indicative of the number of terminals needed to currently satisfy a particular service metric. A predicted active terminal recommendation indicative of the number of terminals needed at a specified future time period in order to satisfy a particular service metric at the specified future time period may also be generated.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Stephen Tyler Caution, Tricia Mcpherson Hicks, Lori Lee Wise, Douglas Jahe Ryner, Joshua David Osmon, Jaclyn Moreda

Patent number: 10460573Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to a fixture and method for a fixture (referred to as a Two Way Fixture) displaying and holding objects for sale at a retail store. The two way fixture includes a free-standing frame which is formed by a I-shaped base portion and a U-shaped upright portion. A pair of tempered hardboards are inserted in the middle of the U-shaped upright portion. The two way fixture has shelves and wire racks mounted to the sides of the U-Shaped upright portion. The shelves, I-shaped base portion, and wire racks create a volume allows for the two way fixture to hide or obscure a cash box storing components of a point-of-sale (POS) station while keeping the electronic components live and updated. The two way fixture can surround the pole and the cash box without having to remove the pole or lift the bin over the cash box.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2019Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Lori Lee Wise, Tricia Mcpherson Hicks

Patent number: 9916737Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to a method, system and assembly for storing components of a point-of-sale (POS) station while keeping the electronic components live and updated. All non-electronic and electronic components of a POS station are disassembled. The non-electronic components except for a cash box with an open face are removed from the sales floor. The electronic components are stored within the inner cavity of the cash box. The open face of the cash box is securely covered using a shroud. The electronic components are kept live and updated using an network and electricity pole resting in a hollow opening of the cash box.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2016Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.Inventors: Joshua David Osmon, Tricia Mcpherson Hicks, Lori Lee Wise

Publication number: 20170143138Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to a fixture and method for a fixture (referred to as a dump bin) displaying and holding objects for sale at a retail store. The dump bin is configured to have and adjustable grating that forms a support surface within the bin for holding items. Providing an adjustable grating allows the bin to be disposed over another fixture in the store to hide or obscure the a cash box storing components of a point-of-sale (POS) station while keeping the electronic components live and updated. The dump bin can be configured with a door to allow the bin to surround the pole and the cash box without having to remove the pole or lift the bin over the cash box. When the door is closed, a perimeter of the bin can surround the cash box and pole. When the dump bin is used independent of the cash box, the grating can be positioned within the bin so that the bin has a greater receiving volume to hold more merchandise.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2016Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventors: Lori Lee Wise, Tricia McPherson Hicks
