Patent number: 11663556Abstract: Techniques for generating an item transmission portal are described herein. First information for a plurality of carriers may be maintained which includes a capacity for each carrier. Historical capacity requirements for geographic locations may be maintained. For each geographic location a forecast of future capacity requirements, for each week of a plurality of weeks, may be generated based on the historical capacity requirements. A plurality of documents may be generated for each geographic location based on the forecast and the first information. A value may be determined for each document based on a time and capacity commitment for each document, the historical capacity requirements, and the forecast. A user interface may be generated that includes the plurality of documents and corresponding determined values. The user interface may be updated to reflect acceptance of a specific document by a carrier in response to input received via the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Manish Jyoti, Karan Kumar, Mahesh Kumar Sharma, Philip Mark Kaminsky, Timothy Lee Jacobs, Steven S. Armato, Sorabh Kumar, Chiranjive Mittal, Brent M. Cervenka, Hrushikesh Gandhi, Wesley Herman, Ruchit Aswin Shah, Agrim Jain, Chetan Mahendru

Patent number: 9721295Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for generating an interface for communication of at least one supply chain associated with an order that comprises forecast completion times for components of the at least one supply chain. The interface includes nodes that are associated with components of the at least one supply chain. The nodes within the interface are linked, wherein each link connects two of the nodes and indicates a relationship between the corresponding components of the at least one supply chain. The nodes and the links are arranged into a rooted tree within the interface, wherein the rooted tree represents the organization of the components of the at least one supply chain.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2012Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kevin C. Miller, Jeffrey S. Eakle, Steven S. Armato, Jonathan B. Norwood

Patent number: 9070102Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The processor receives, from a transporter device, an indication of a problem associated with locating a destination site associated with the first user device. In response to receiving the indication, the processor requests the geocoordinates of the first user device. The processor confirms that a second user device is located proximate the destination site, wherein the first user device requests the geocoordinates of the second user device in response to a determination that the first user device is not located proximate the destination site. The processor receives the geocoordinates of the second user device, and communicates, to the transporter device, the geocoordinates of the second user device.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2014Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Steven S. Armato

Patent number: 9068850Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory can store a first address and a longitude, latitude, and altitude associated with the first address. The processor can receive a second address and determine that a user device associated with the second address is not located at the second address. In response to the determination that the user device is not located at the second address, the processor can approximate the geocoordinates of the second address based at least in part upon the longitude, latitude, and altitude associated with the first address.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2014Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Steven S. Armato

Patent number: 8793068Abstract: A system comprises a delivery application executing on a processor of a delivery device. The application communicates a message indicating a problem associated with locating a destination site for a user. The system further comprises a vendor server communicatively coupled to the processor of the delivery device. The vendor server receives the message indicating the problem associated with the first location, determines that the first location is associated with a second location that is within a predetermined distance of the first location, approximates geocoordinates associated with the first location based at least in part upon geocoordinates associated with the second location, and communicates the approximated geocoordinates to the delivery application.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2012Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Steven S.
