  • Patent number: 11734664
    Abstract: Methods and systems for remote self-checkout are described. One method includes presenting a code at a self-checkout point-of-sale device that may be captured by a user (e.g., a store customer or a store employee) mobile device. The code may enable the mobile device to request a connection with the self-checkout point-of-sale device that allows for user interactions associated with a self-checkout session to be performed at the self-checkout point-of-sale device or at the mobile device. The self-checkout session includes adding items to be purchased into a cart instance and receiving payment for items in the cart instance. User interactions associated with weighed items may be performed on the mobile device in a manner integrated with a scale/scanner portion of the self-checkout point-of-sale device to avoid user contact with a touchpoint of the self-checkout point-of-sale device. Accordingly, contact with a self-checkout point-of-sale device by all users may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 10600108
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a request for a webpage together with an identifier for a web session and determining that the web session has expired. Information entered by a user that would have appeared in the webpage before the web session expired is retrieved and at least some of the retrieved information is partially masked in response to the determination that the web session has expired. The webpage is then returned with the partially masked information.
