Patent number: 11537974Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for facilitating a real-time, on-demand delivery platform for perishable goods by determining aspects such as the location and status of a courier who is affiliated with a delivery platform. In one example, a courier carries a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) enabled mobile device that is configured to detect signals from beacons located at both a vehicle registered to the courier and a provider site. Each of the detected signals includes identifying information and signal strength of the detected signal. The identifying information and signal strengths are transmitted to a server that monitors the signal strengths received at the courier's BLE-enabled mobile device from the beacon devices to determine the likelihood that the courier has arrived at the provider site.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2021Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: DoorDash, Inc.Inventors: Anderthan Hsieh, Thomas Edward Taylor, Thomas Edward Belluscio, Xilin Alexander Liu

Patent number: 9826059Abstract: Techniques for resource access throttling are described. In implementations, access to a network resource can be controlled based on a variety of factors, such as a type of user requesting access to the network resource. For example, consider a scenario where an online content store is preparing to launch. To prevent resources associated with the online content store from being overwhelmed by the number of requests for access when the store is launched, techniques can be implemented to throttle the number of requests that are granted. For instance, requests for access can be throttled based on different user types.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2016Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Anderthan Hsieh, James W.

Publication number: 20130036069Abstract: A reputation quality control environment and methodology utilizes periodic automated product scoring and timely manual product reviews to ensure the accuracy of product rankings. The reputation quality control environment has a reputation scale that is divided into one or more reputation bands with product placement within each successively higher band signifying a more desirable product. Products included within the quality control environment are periodically automatically scored based on one or more product characteristic values. Products whose reputation score renders them eligible for a new, higher reputation band are manually reviewed prior to being allowed into the higher band. Products whose product reputation score is on a trajectory that indicates the product will likely attempt to enter a new, higher reputation band within a predetermined timeframe are timely manually reviewed so that acceptable products can be instantaneously allowed into the new band when their reputation score provides for it.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2011Publication date: February 7, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ghassan Salloum, Anderthan Hsieh
