  • Publication number: 20230327943
    Abstract: Described in detail herein are systems and methods for routing data in a distributed environment. A controller can maintain an inactive state. A terminal can receive a request associated with a physical object. The terminal can be communicatively coupled to a cloud computing system. The terminal can attempt to transmit the request to the cloud computing system. A router communicatively coupled to the controller and cloud computing system can attempt to initiate communication between the terminal and the cloud computing system in response to the terminal attempt to transmit the request to the cloud computing system. The router can route the request to the controller in response to failing to initiate communication between the terminal and the cloud computing system after specified amount of time. The controller can switch from an inactive state to an active state in response to receiving the request.

  • Patent number: 10810732
    Abstract: In various implementations, a condition of one or more screens of a device may be determined. A user may select a return application that facilitates capturing image(s) of device screen(s). A user may capture images of a screen of using a camera of the same device or another device. In some implementations, the user may position the device proximate a mirror such that the device can capture an image of one or more screens of the device. The captured image(s) may be processed and/or analyzed to determine if the screen of the device is damaged. In some implementations, notifications based on the condition of the device screen(s) may be transmitted. A price for the device may be determined, in some implementations based on the condition of the screen.

  • Patent number: 10812322
    Abstract: Described in detail herein is an event streaming system. A controller disposed at a facility, can receive an event from computing systems disposed at the facility. The event is received by the controller at a time the event occurs. The controller can stream the event including the set of data. A central system can receive the at least one event streamed by the controller. The central system can include a repository cluster, a relational database, and a NoSQL database. The central system can concurrently route the set of data included in the event to the repository cluster, the relational database and the NoSQL database of the event response system to store the set of data in the repository cluster, the relational database and the NoSQL database.
