Patent number: 11956389Abstract: The method and system allow a user to launch a client application on an web-enabled device and subsequently to navigate to an image source screen within the client application. After receiving an image source selection from the user, the client application retrieves images from the selected image source. The client application displays the retrieved images available for printing to a user, and in response to receiving a selection of an image, the client application transmits the image to a proprietary server. Moreover, upon receiving print order information, the client application additionally executes a location awareness application that determines a current location of the web-enabled device and subsequently, determines a proximal retail store to the current location of the web-enabled device. Thereafter, the remote printing system creates and transmits a print order that includes the selected image to the retail store for pickup.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: WALGREEN CO.Inventors: Tim P. McCauley, Joseph M. Rago, Mathew Alexander

Patent number: 10438214Abstract: The system and methods allow a user to request and receive an electronic coupon using a client application on an internet-enabled device such as a mobile phone and use the electronic coupon when making a purchase at a store. Specifically, the mobile device requests and receives the mobile coupon from a server or a network of servers. The server or network of servers determines which if any electronic coupon(s) to send to the client application and sends an electronic coupon to the client application. The client application displays the electronic coupon with a coupon identifier on the display of the mobile device. The user then uses the mobile device to enter the coupon identifier into a point-of-sale terminal to trigger the discount or other special deal offered on the electronic coupon when making a purchase at the point-of-sale terminal.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: WALGREEN CO.Inventors: Anthony Kim, Mathew Alexander

Patent number: 10054949Abstract: A robotic surface treatment apparatus treats corners of rooms more effectively through intricate guidance of the apparatus through inside and outside corners. In one aspect, contact and/or non-contact sensors provide information to one or more on-board processors on the apparatus to enable selective overriding of obstacle avoidance program code and allow the apparatus to get closer to walls to facilitate treatment. In another aspect, the sensors provide information to the on-board processors to control backup motion of the apparatus to cover previously-missed areas when turning corners. In yet another aspect, the apparatus is shaped to have its treatment mechanism positioned more closely to the front of the apparatus to enable treatment more closely to walls near corners. In one embodiment, the robotic surface treatment apparatus is a robotic vacuum. The vacuum may have its cleaning brush positioned near a flat front portion of the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2016Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Neato Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Steven Mathew Alexander, Bruno Augusto Hexsel

Publication number: 20170371341Abstract: A robotic cleaning device and method of control thereof. The device and method enable multiple cleaning passes within an environment efficiently, cleaning the entire environment more than once, or cleaning the entire environment and then focusing on one or more particularly dirty areas to provide enhanced cleaning by making one or more passes over a dirty area in a dominant and a non-dominant direction. The robotic cleaning device may identify such areas in the course of its cleaning, or it may record such areas previously as being historically dirty and requiring additional attention. The device may vacuum; it may shampoo; it may polish; or it may perform other cleaning operations. Where the device is battery-powered, the device may check its state of charge before performing the enhanced cleaning, and may repeat the enhanced cleaning if the battery or batteries have sufficient charge.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2015Publication date: December 28, 2017Applicant: NEATO ROBOTICS, INC.Inventors: Henry Arthur LEINHOS, Chang Young KIM, Sarath Kumar SUVARNA, Steven Mathew ALEXANDER, Michael R.
