  • Patent number: 12001653
    Abstract: An integrated backend and dynamic interface system can be provided for handling multiple transaction channels. In one example, a client device can receive a unique identification code corresponding to a guest at a physical location associated with an entity. The client device can forward the unique identification code to a backend system configured to analyze a history of the guest to determine a customized object previously obtained by the guest from the entity. The client device can receive information from the backend system about the customized object and configure a graphical user interface to indicate the customized object. The graphical user interface can also include a graphical option that is selectable by a user for adding the customized object to an object order for the guest.

A plurality of point sources of light are spaced along the rear wall between the front and rear walls. A reflector is provided between each pair of adjacent point sources for reflecting light received from each adjacent point source, toward the flexible face. A diffusion panel is in front of each point source, and between each point source and the front wall. The diffusion panel has perforations in a pattern which increase in density from a center of the panel outwardly toward edges of the panel. The panel also includes a metal corrugated portion carrying the perforations and a translucent acrylic portion attached to the corrugated portion.
