  • Publication number: 20230005049
    Abstract: A list of items to pick for an order at a store is obtained. A hierarchical graph of the store is maintained based on regions within the store, endpoints within the store, and locations of items relative to the regions and endpoints. Each item in the list is connected to its nearest endpoint within the graph and a path is found between the endpoints. An optimized and order list of the items is found based on an optimal path through each endpoint. For each segment within the path a list of traversed endpoints is identified. The endpoints are grouped by region; a new navigation instruction is generated only when a given region is changed. The process is repeated for each pair of items in the list; the list is reduced; and translated into text as an optimal path to pick the items of the order within the store.

  • Publication number: 20220253833
    Abstract: A customer engages a Financial Institution (FI) for access to an account or a service associated with the account of the customer over a first channel of communication. A decentralized identifier (DID) connection is established between a FI wallet and a Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)-enabled customer wallet. A structured message that is cryptographically signed is sent from the FI wallet to the customer wallet over a secure channel of communication. The message requests authorization of the customer or requests specific Personal Identifiable Information (PII) of the customer. The customer responds via the customer wallet and a second structured message is cryptographically signed and sent to the FI wallet over the secure channel of communication. When the second structured message is authenticated by the FI, the customer is approved for access to the account or approved for access to the service over the first channel of communication.
