  • Publication number: 20240126723
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to ingest data objects from a flat file server for use in one or more system operations including providing a renderable data object to a user and updating a data item database. As described, the ingestion system includes an ingestion module, a flat file module, a compliance module, and a deduplication module wherein the modules together ingest a flat file data object, parse and process a renderable data object from the flat file data object, and store the renderable data object in a renderable object database.

  • Publication number: 20240127388
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing a signaling location beacon are provided. Specifically, a collection location for collecting, by an agent, an item is determined. Also, a physical beacon associated with the pickup location can be identified. Further, an interaction between the physical beacon and the agent can be detected. For example, the interaction can occur based on the physical beacon and the agent being in physical proximity to each other during a process of the agent collecting the item at the collection location. As follows, in response to the interaction, transmission of a sensory signal to the agent can be facilitated to provide perceivable direction information associated with the physical location to the agent. The sensory signal can be specific to the agent based on the interaction between the physical beacon and the agent.

  • Publication number: 20240005266
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a server computer, request from an end user of an item to deliver the item to a service provider. The method includes providing, by the server computer, a retrieval message to a transporter to travel to the end user to retrieve the item and determine if the item is suitable for return to the service provider, and receiving, by the server computer, an item confirmation message from the transporter that the item is suitable for return to the service provider. The method also includes receiving, by the server computer, a delivery confirmation message from the transporter that the item was successfully delivered to the service provider.

  • Patent number: 11861755
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing a signaling location beacon are provided. Specifically, a physical location for transferring a delivery from a delivery person to a customer can be determined. Also, a physical beacon associated with the physical location can be identified. Further, an interaction between the physical beacon and the delivery person can be detected. For example, the interaction can occur based on the physical beacon and the delivery person being in physical proximity to each other. As follows, in response to the interaction, transmission of a sensory signal to the delivery person can be facilitated to provide perceivable direction information associated with the physical location to the delivery person.
