Patent number: 11745916Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful for reusable containers and item delivery using reusable containers. In several embodiments, the reusable containers described herein include removable divider walls that can be used to selectively divide an interior of the container into multiple smaller portions. By a further approach, the container and divider walls can have cooperating components to mount the divider wall to the container. In some embodiments, the reusable containers described herein can also include bag handle holding features so that bags placed therein are prevented from spilling contents during transport.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Corey L. Peach, Craig J. Stevens, Christian J. Munoz, Michael R. Walden, Steven A. Welch, Elizabeth Enzor, Whitney Porter

Patent number: 10463095Abstract: Methods and systems of detection of presence in and delivery to location are provided. A method detects a presence of a mobile device within a perimeter of a geographic region. The method searches a database to determine whether the first mobile device is associated with any existing account. Responsive to determining that the mobile device is associated with a first account, the method searches the database to determine whether there is any pending task associated with the first account. Responsive to determining that there is a pending task associated with the first account, the method transmits a first message indicating the detection of presence of the mobile device associated with the first account. The method determines that the mobile device is at least approximately at a first location of a plurality of predefined locations within the perimeter. The method transmits information associated with the first location to the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Jason D. Shaffer, Rachael Ulman, David J. Carr, Richard Ramsden, Timothy J. Burleson, Mark J. Valentine, Corey L. Peach, Kuleni Gebisa

Patent number: 10185984Abstract: Embodiments of a computer-implemented method and system pertaining to drive through grocery pickup are described. In one example, a computer-implemented method receives geographic information about a user. The geographic information indicates that the user is within a predetermined area associated with the physical store. The method also determines whether there is a pending remotely placed order for a user account associated with the user in a database associated with the physical store. In response to a determination that there is the pending remotely placed order for the user account associated with the user in the database, the method transmits order information to a computing device of the physical store. The order information includes one or more items in the pending remotely placed order. The method also determines a current location of the user. The method further causes a delivery of the one or more items to the current location.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2015Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: WALMART APOLLO, LLCInventors: Jason D. Shaffer, Rachael Ulman, Richard Ramsden, David Jon Carr, Mark J. Valentine, Corey L. Peach, Kevin A. Ruehle, David G. Tovey, Todd W. Franke, Timothy James Burleson, Danielle McPherson, Kuleni Gebisa
