Patent number: 10467559Abstract: Techniques and arrangements for facilitating synchronization of order ticket functionality utilized by point-of-sale (POS) devices with kitchen display systems. In some example, a POS device and a line buster device collectively receive a plurality of customer orders associated with a transaction between a merchant and plurality of customers. Based on individual customer orders, the POS device determines when to fire off the orders to the kitchen display system irrespective of the sequence in which they are received. In some examples, the kitchen display system then determines whether or not to request payment from the customer before the order is prepared or delivered.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Tait Svenson, Claudia J.

Publication number: 20190004785Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for securely updating a point-of-sale (POS) system that includes a merchant-facing device and a buyer-facing device. For instance, the merchant-facing device may execute first software that provides first POS functionality and the buyer-facing device may execute second software that provides second POS functionality. To update both devices, the merchant-facing device may receive a software update from a payment service via a network connection, and update the first software using the software update. The merchant-facing device can then cause, via a physical connection, the buyer-facing device to reboot in an update mode and send the software update to the buyer-facing device. In response, the buyer-facing device can update the second software using the software update and then reboot in a payments mode. In some instances, the buyer-facing device can then update a secure enclave on the buyer-facing device using the software update.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2017Publication date: January 3, 2019Inventors: John Kelley, Max Guise, Todor Ristov, Imran Khan, Eric Monti

Publication number: 20180077663Abstract: A linear wireless sensor network includes network nodes having monotonically varying network node identifiers along each branch of the network. The network identifiers enable the nodes to forward network packets without use of routing tables. Low duty cycle wireless communication protocols enable network packets to be routed to all nodes of very large networks while consuming very little electrical power. Broadcast, rather than unicast, transmissions between nodes take advantage of favorable signal propagation conditions to forward messages using largest possible hops, skipping over nodes when possible. A group of network packets is broadcast and forwarded by a most distant receiving node that received all packets of the group. A receiving node's clock is automatically adjusted, based on which packet(s) of a group of packets was received. A sending node synchronizes near-by receiving nodes. Nodes are provisioned over-the-air, with built-in scheduling.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2017Publication date: March 15, 2018Inventors: Almir D. Davis, Roger J. Wilmarth, Philip S.
