  • Patent number: 11777950
    Abstract: An illustrative geolocation authentication system designates a movement feasibility corroboration factor as a location corroboration factor for the geolocation authentication system to authenticate geolocations of mobile devices. Based on the designating of the movement feasibility corroboration factor, the geolocation authentication system determines a first reported geolocation of a mobile device associated with a first time and a second reported geolocation of the mobile device associated with a second time. Given that the mobile device is located at a true geolocation at the second time, the geolocation authentication system then determines, based on the first and second reported geolocations of the mobile device, a feasibility metric indicative of a likelihood that the second reported geolocation of the mobile device is the true geolocation at the second time. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230206919
    Abstract: An ordering system for automated processing of customer orders for a retail establishment. In some embodiments, an ordering device is disposed at an ordering location such as outside a building of the retail establishment. The ordering device is configured to generate a first audio stream responsive to an interaction with an on-site customer adjacent the ordering device. An on-site controller device includes an artificial intelligence engine configured to generate content responsive to the first audio stream. The artificial intelligence engine combines the generated content with a second audio stream from an on-site employee to transmit a seamless third audio stream, via the ordering device, to the on-site customer. The generated content may be further tailored based on one or more traits of the customer as detected by a sensor.

  • Patent number: 11594223
    Abstract: An ordering system can be positioned partially, or completely, outside in a retail environment with an ordering device located outside of a building on a site. The ordering device receiving a first audio stream concurrently with a second audio stream from an employee and proceeds to capture the first audio stream with a first port of an on-site computing device while capturing the second audio stream with a second port of the on-site computing device. A customer strategy can be executed with an intelligence module of the on-site computing device connected to the ordering device with the on-site customer strategy directing automated interactions with a first on-site customer to compile a retail order. The employee may communicate directly with the intelligence module via the second port without interrupting the first audio stream.

  • Patent number: 11178156
    Abstract: An exemplary geolocation authentication system receives user input representative of customized authentication settings that designate a location corroboration factor from a plurality of location corroboration factors that correspond to independent ways of determining geolocations of mobile devices. The system receives, from a mobile device located at a true geolocation, a reported geolocation of the mobile device. Then, in response to the receiving of the reported geolocation, the system accesses a datapoint that characterizes a correlation between the reported geolocation of the mobile device and the true geolocation of the mobile device. The datapoint characterizes the correlation based on the location corroboration factor designated by the customized authentication settings. The system further determines, based on the datapoint, a custom confidence metric representative of a likelihood that the reported geolocation is the true geolocation. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
