  • Patent number: 11765123
    Abstract: A technology is provided for delivering a data object to a device. Data delivery instructions to distribute a data object to a device may be received at a delivery service and indicate a storage location of the data object, a messaging topic, and a size of data receivable by the device. The data object is then divided into blocks corresponding to the size of data receivable by the device. A messaging topic is identified to which the device is subscribed via a messaging service. The blocks are sent to the device using the messaging topic and a network protocol available to the device.

  • Publication number: 20230260008
    Abstract: In some cases, a delivery service system may include a handheld electronic device for use with a delivery service (e.g., a grocery delivery service). When operating in a voice input mode, the handheld electronic device may record and store audio data in memory. The stored audio data may be communicated from the handheld electronic device (e.g., via a Wi-Fi connection) to the delivery service for speech processing. When operating in a scanner input mode, the handheld electronic device may record and store item identifier information (e.g., barcode data) in memory. The stored data may be communicated to the delivery service for item identification processing. In some cases, a user interface associated with the delivery service may allow the user to review and confirm an order prior to submission of the order for delivery.

  • Patent number: 10678975
    Abstract: Technology is described for providing code modules for building a device. An indication of hardware components to be used when designing a device may be received. A use case for the device may be received. A list of code modules that are compatible with the hardware components may be provided. The list of code modules may be based on the use case for the device. A selection of code modules may be received from a list of code modules that are compatible with the hardware components. The code modules may be provided for use in designing the device.

  • Patent number: 10296964
    Abstract: An effortless and automated reordering system includes a dedicated electronic device with a simple button interface that, upon depression of the button, initiates a process of ordering (or reordering) a product associated with the device and a button on that device. The electronic device may store in memory a device identifier and button identifiers for each button as the basis for order request information. The stored data may be communicated to a fulfillment service (e.g., an online merchant, fulfillment center, etc.) for order identification processing. In some cases, an application provided by the fulfillment service may be executed on a secondary management device to allow a user to configure the electronic device to map the buttons to different products, and even different vendors, to facilitate reconfigurable order management.

  • Patent number: 10270797
    Abstract: A wireless communications system mitigates the threat of a man-in-the-middle attack when sharing network credentials with a new device. A new wireless device signals that it needs credentials if no other devices are signaling that they need credentials. The new device provides a visible or audible indicator when requested to do so by a device with credentials. Either in response to approval by a user or automatically in response to the indicator, the device with credentials shares credentials with the new device, which can then establish a connection to the network.
