  • Patent number: 11900293
    Abstract: Systems and methods for recommending merchant actions include a physical merchant location having a plurality of beacon devices. A system provider device receives a plurality of first location information from the plurality of beacon devices that is collected from a customer beacon communication device that is associated with a customer. The system provider device also receives a plurality of second location information over the network from the plurality of beacon devices that is collected from a merchant beacon communication device that is associated with an asset of the merchant. The system provider device analyzes the plurality of first location information and the plurality of second location information to determine at least one merchant action recommendation related to the customer and the asset of the merchant and provides the at least one merchant action recommendation over the network for display on a display device.

  • Patent number: 11625361
    Abstract: In some examples, before saving a file, a device analyzes contents (e.g., text and images) of the file to create a bag of words. The device performs Latent Dirichlet Allocation of the bag of words to determine topics included in the file and orders the topics in descending order of frequency. The device generates a particular name of the file based on the ordered topics and automatically save (or suggest saving) the file with the particular name. The device determines, based on the ordered topics, a folder name of a folder in which to store the file. If an existing folder has the folder name, then the device saves the file in the existing folder. If not, then the device creates a new folder with the folder name and saves the file in the new folder.

  • Patent number: 11518573
    Abstract: A system and method palletize containers having electrical terminals for charging electronic devices packaged therein. First, a stacking pattern is determined on the basis of the sizes, shapes, and locations of electrical terminals on both the pallets and the containers to be stacked. These data may be read, for example, with a computer vision system that uses an articulating robotic arm, and may be encoded in a two-dimensional barcode on each pallet and/or container. Next, the robotic arm stacks the container so that its terminals make electrical contact with terminals on the pallet, or on a previously-stacked layer of containers. Then, the placement is tested to ensure that a good electrical connection exists vertically through the entire stack. Once the pallet is finalized, all electronic devices carried thereon may be simultaneously charged during transit or storage.

  • Patent number: 11159035
    Abstract: A container for an electronic device having a battery and a method of maintaining electrical charge in the battery are described. The container includes a cushioning material, such as molded expanded foam, to receive and secure the device (e.g. for shipping or storage) and to position its battery charging interface near a charging terminal within the container. The charging terminal itself cushions the device, and is electrically connected to charging terminals on the top and bottom of the container, such as a plate on the top and a pogo pin on the bottom. Connecting the charging terminals to a power source supplies power to the charging terminal, hence the battery charging interface of the device either via a physical contact or wireless power transfer. The container and method may be used to deliver the electronic device fully charged to an end user.

  • Patent number: 10496979
    Abstract: A service provider provides one or more “best” total value suggestions for one or more items specified by a user. The suggestions are based on one or more of user preferences, user location, available funding options, available local merchant incentives, available manufacturer incentives, and local merchants offering the item. In one embodiment, the “best” total value is the lowest price available to the user. The user may make a purchase using a suggestion or a revised suggestion.

  • Patent number: 9448689
    Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying information on a wearable user device include determining calibration information based on user actions and information from images captured by a camera on a wearable user device. A field of view calibration may then be performed on a display engine in the wearable user device using the calibration information. Graphical information may then be displayed on a display device on the wearable user device according to a user field of view using the display engine in the wearable user. Field of view calibrations may be performed using calibration information that is based on: a user's head range of motion such that displayed graphical information conforms to that head range of motion, calibration objects by themselves that indicate a user's perspective in a user field of view, and calibration objects that allow the size of a user's hands to be determined and used to measure objects.
