System and method for resource allocation across distinct processes of a materials handling facility
Patent number: 10699223Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and method for labor allocation across distinct processes of a materials handling facility are described. Embodiments may include a computer system configured to generate a model of a materials handling facility. The model may indicate, for each of multiple distinct quantities of work processed via a respective materials handling process, a quantity of labor resources processing that quantity of work in accordance with the respective materials handling process. The computer system may evaluate the model to determine that one or more additional labor resources are needed to process a particular quantity of work in accordance with a particular materials handling process. The computer system may select a labor resource processing a different quantity of work in accordance with a different materials handling process and generate an instruction that directs that labor resource to process the particular quantity of work via the particular materials handling process.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2009Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sameer Vinod Shah, Srinivas Palla, Robert D.

Patent number: 10686788Abstract: Organizations maintain and generate large amounts of documentation and entities of these organizations often need to collaborate on generating and reviewing this information. There is a need to maintain and store this documentation remotely in such a way that the entities of these organizations may collaborate with each other. A document management a collaboration system is provided to enable entities to collaborate with each other. Furthermore, developers may interface with the document management and collaboration system to provide add-in services and components to the document management and collaboration system. These add-in service and components may expand the capabilities of the documents and collaborations enabled by the document management and collaboration system.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2017Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Gillett, Noah Anthony Eisner, Arun Ponniah Sethuramalingam, Wei Lien Stephen Dang, Stephen Joseph Oakley

Patent number: 10599753Abstract: Organizations maintain and generate large amounts of documentation and entities of these organizations often need to collaborate on generating and reviewing this information. There is a need to maintain and store this documentation remotely in such a way that the entities of these organizations may collaborate with each other. To ensure that information is handled effectively, new versions are created for documents uploaded to a service provider by entities of the organization. The documents are processed in such a way that the documents are displayed uniformly across a variety of devices.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2013Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Noah Anthony Eisner, Kevin Gillett, Himanshu Khurana, Arun Ponniah Sethuramalingam, Liangliang Wang, Sharad Kala, Frank Chen

Patent number: 10540404Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a collection of documents is disclosed. In the method and apparatus, a plurality of documents are identified for inclusion in a document collection. The documents are identified based at least in part on one or more attributes of at least one document of the plurality of documents. A user is requested to confirm the document collection, and an instruction is received from the user indicating one or more documents of the plurality of documents may be included in the document collection. After the indication is received, the collection may be formed and made available to the user or one or more other users of a document management and collaboration system.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2014Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Wei Lien Stephen Dang, Arun Ponniah Sethuramalingam, Cynthia Zhang Taylor, Catherine Emily Harrell, Nandhini Nandiwada Santhanam, Stephen Joseph Oakley, Sharad Kala, Noah Anthony Eisner, Liangliang Wang, Nagesh Pradhan Cadabam, Kevin Gillett, Himanshu Khurana

Patent number: 10482067Abstract: A method of synchronizing shared folders and files within a remote and local file system includes determining a remote and local file system state. The remote file system state includes remote hash values for remote instances of shared folders, shared sub-folders, shared files, shared sub-level files, and shared shortcuts. The local file system state includes a local hash values for local instances of shared folders, shared sub-folders, shared files, shared sub-level files, and shared shortcuts. The method also includes comparing the remote file system state and the local file system state to determine any differences in the hash values within the remote file system state and the local file system state and synchronizing any shared folder, shared sub-folder, or shared file having a differing value in the remote file system state and the local file system state across the local file system and the remote file system.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Amaan Ahmed Penangwala, Scott Anthony Plant, Richa Sehgal, Kevin Gillett, Borislav Andruschuk, Stephen Joseph Oakley, Arun Ponniah Sethuramalingam, Noah Eisner
