Publication number: 20240037526Abstract: Systems and methods for processing multiple point-of-sale (POS) transactions include receiving, at a first window of a user interface, a first input of payment information associated with a first item of a first POS transaction and presenting, at a second window of the user interface, a status of the first POS transaction. The POS system then may receive, at the first window and concurrently with presentation of the status at the second window, a second input associated with a second POS transaction, where the first window is associated with the second transaction and the second window is associated with the first transaction. The POS system may receive a notification of a confirmed payment of the second POS transaction prior to a resolution of the first POS transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Bruce Bell, Gerard Thomas Knight, Jared Travis Marr

Publication number: 20230351409Abstract: A service provider that provides a plurality of merchant services can obtain first merchant information associated with a plurality of merchants registered with the service provider. The service provider can obtain intent data associated with the merchants indicating merchant service(s) that individual merchants of the plurality of merchants use or indicated interest in using during onboarding with the service provider. A machine learning model can be trained using the first merchant information and the intent data. The service provider can receive an indication that a potential merchant has initiated an onboarding process with the service provider. The service provider can determine second merchant information associated with the potential merchant and, based at least in part on the second merchant information and the machine learning model, can determine merchant service(s) of the service provider that the potential merchant is predicted to intend to use.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Katherine Brennan, Bruce Bell, Brian Stegall, Matthew O'Connor, Timothy Donnelly, Jared Travis Marr, Christopher Cosgrove, Edward Ruder, Allyson Schrader

Publication number: 20230325802Abstract: A merchant terminal or a customer terminal receives first input(s) associated with a first POS transaction with a first customer. Based on the first input(s), it is determined that the first POS transaction is in a first item-input portion and so the merchant terminal is designated as a state control terminal for the first POS transaction. Based on a trigger event occurring for the first POS transaction, it is determined that the first POS transaction is in a payment-input portion, and the customer terminal is designated as the state control terminal. Second input(s) associated with a second POS transaction with a second customer are received prior to receiving payment input to the first POS transaction and while the customer terminal is the state control terminal for the first POS transaction. Based on the second input(s), it is determined that that the second POS transaction is in a second-transaction item-input portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Koun Han, Nicholas Dower, Raymond Ryan, Bruce Bell, Jared Travis Marr, Alexey Kalinichenko, Tien Nguyen

Patent number: 11727378Abstract: A point-of-sale system for concurrently processing multiple point of sale transactions, each point of sale transaction including an item input portion and a payment portion of the transaction, each portion performed in series. The point-of-sale system comprises a customer facing terminal and a merchant facing terminal. The system can comprise a plurality of customer facing terminals and can be portable. The customer facing terminal is configured to receive an input of payment information for a first point of sale transaction during a payment portion of the first point of sale transaction. The merchant facing terminal is configured to receive an input of an item selection for a second point of sale transaction during an item input portion of the second point of sale transaction and during the payment portion of the first point of sale transaction.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Bruce Bell, Gerard Thomas Knight, Jared Travis Marr

Patent number: 11720905Abstract: Intelligent merchant onboarding is described. A service provider can determine first directive(s) that were presented to one or more first potential merchants that completed an onboarding process with the service provider and second directive(s) that were presented to one or more second potential merchants that did not complete the onboarding process. The service provider can train a data model based at least partly on the first directive(s) or the second directive(s), Based at least partly on receiving an indication that a potential merchant initiates the onboarding process, the service provider can determine information associated with the potential merchant. Based at least partly on the data model and the information, the service provider can intelligently determine an order that one or more directives are to be presented to the potential merchant such that a first directive of the first directive(s) is presented prior to a second directive of the second directive(s).Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2022Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Katherine Brennan, Bruce Bell, Brian Stegall, Matthew O'Connor, Timothy Donnelly, Jared Travis Marr, Christopher Cosgrove, Edward Ruder, Allyson Schrader

Patent number: 11681994Abstract: A point of sale system includes a merchant terminal and a customer terminal. The merchant terminal is configured to display a user interface (UI) window on the merchant terminal. The UI window on the merchant terminal displays a merchant-specific version of a screen displayed on the customer terminal. The merchant terminal receives updates from the customer terminal regarding the status of the payment portion for a transaction. The merchant terminal can provide an input to the UI window which is sent as a message to the customer terminal. Control of state for the point of sale system is shared such that when the system is in a first state, the merchant terminal is the state control terminal, and when the point of sale system is in a second state, the customer terminal is the state control terminal and has control of state for the system.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Koun Han, Nicholas Dower, Raymond Ryan, Bruce Bell, Jared Travis Marr, Alexey Kalinichenko, Tien Nguyen
