Patent number: 12086754Abstract: An online concierge system performs asynchronous automated correction handling of incorrectly sorted items using point-of-sale data. The online concierge system receives orders from customer client devices and determines a batched order based on the received orders. The online concierge system sends the batched order to a shopper client device for fulfillment. The online concierge system receives transaction data associated with the batched order from a third party system. The online concierge system determines whether a sorting error occurred based on the transaction data and the batched order. In response to determining that a sorting error occurred, the online concierge system sends an instruction to correct the sorting error to the shopper client device.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2022Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: Maplebear Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Knight, Darren Johnson, Salmaan Ayaz, Saumitra Maheshwari, Tomasz Debicki, Do Quang Phuoc Dang, Valery Vaskabovich

Publication number: 20240070577Abstract: The online concierge system generates task units based on orders and assigns batches of task units to pickers. The online concierge system generates task units based on received orders. The online concierge system generates permutations of these task units to generate candidate sets of task batches. The online concierge system scores each of these candidate sets, and selects a set of task batches to assign to pickers based on the scores. Additionally, to determine which task UI to display to the picker, the picker client device uses a UI state machine. The UI state machine is a state machine where each state corresponds to a task UI to display on the picker client device. The state transitions between the UI states of the UI state machine indicate which UI state to transition to from a current UI state based on the next task unit in the received task batch.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Krishna Kumar Selvam, Joseph Cohen, Tahmid Sharjar, Neel Sarwal, Darren Johnson, Nicholas Rose, Ajay Pankaj Sampat, Joey Dong

Patent number: 11102014Abstract: The invention is a method for handling data in a secure container comprising first and second private keys uniquely allocated to the secure container. The secure container is configured to use the first private key to handle said data in a first operating mode and to use the second private key to handle said data in a second operating mode. The secure container is configured to prevent the update of the first private key after its clearing. The method comprises the step of automatically clearing the first private key in response to a request for enabling a software module in the second operating mode and a step of automatically using the first operating mode by the secure container if the first private key has not been cleared and of automatically using the second operating mode by the secure container if the first private key has been cleared.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: THALES DIS CPL CANADA, INC.Inventors: Dmitry Riyumkin, Darren Johnson
