Patent number: 12175521Abstract: An online system may receive, from a user device, a request to view, at a graphical user interface, available entries of a third-party system. The third-party system may operate multiple physical locations. The operation of each physical location is documented by a time-sensitive dataset which includes multiple dynamic item entries. The online system may retrieve a geographical location associated with the user device and determine a subset of physical locations operated by the third-party system that are eligible for further selection based on distances of the physical locations from the geographical location associated with the user device. The online system may determine a metric measuring a size of the dynamic item entries available in the time-sensitive dataset and select one of the physical locations based on the metric. The online system may cause for display the dynamic item entries in the time-sensitive dataset associated with the selected physical location.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2022Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: Maplebear Inc.Inventors: Danna Weintraub, Erik Wolfe

Patent number: 11941589Abstract: Systems and methods for processing transactions are provided. An aspect of the transactions is executed with a third party transaction service provider that may indicate its aspect of the transaction was a failure when in fact it was successful. After conveying this failure to a user, the system subsequently learns that the aspect of the transaction was not a failure. The system attempts to associate such a transaction with another transaction based on a comparison between the transactions. Upon determining that there is an association between the second transaction and the first transaction, the system communicates to a user options for how to proceed with the first and second transactions. One of the options is to proceed with the original transaction. If the original transaction goes ahead, this saves system resources associated with cancelling the first transaction.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Inventors: Kai-Yanna Meighu, Hettige Ray Perera Jayatunga
