Patents by Inventor Albert Poon

Albert Poon has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12254525
    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.

  • 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.
