Publication number: 20250112985Abstract: Integrating customer and/or merchant functionality with discoverable applications is described. In an example, application(s) may be stored in a repository associated with a service provider. At least a part of an application may be accessible as an instant application. The instant application may comprise a portion of an application that enables a particular, discrete functionality of the application. Based at least in part on an interaction between a user computing device of a user and an interactive element, the application may be determined from the application(s). The instant application may be downloaded on the user computing device. Then, based at least in part on determining a location of the user computing device, a user interface associated with the instant application may be displayed, wherein the user interface enables the user to input data for enabling the particular, discrete functionality associated with the instant application.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2024Publication date: April 3, 2025Inventors: Brian Stegall, Matthew T.

Patent number: 12206812Abstract: Integrating buyer and/or merchant functionality with discoverable applications is described. In an example, applications associated with a service provider can be stored in a repository associated with the service provider. At least a part of an application of the applications is associated with a particular, discrete functionality. The service provider can determine context data associated with a user computing device and can select, based at least in part on the context data, the application from the applications, wherein at least the part of the application is to be surfaced on the user computing device. The service provider can cause a user interface associated with at least the part of the application to be presented via the user computing device, wherein the user interface enables a user of the user computing device to input data for enabling the particular, discrete functionality, and wherein a portion of the context data is used to customize the user interface for the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Brian Stegall, Matthew T.

Publication number: 20240412183Abstract: Systems and methods for modifying a user interface of a device based on unavailability of an item offered for sale by a merchant are described. In examples, the techniques include receiving, by server(s) of a service provider, menu data indicating items offered for sale by the merchant. Based on the menu data, instructions that cause presentation of a user interface comprising icons corresponding to the items are sent by the server(s) to device(s) of a merchant and/or customer(s) of the merchant. The techniques further include the server(s) receiving an indication that one of the items is unavailable for sale by the merchant. Responsive to receiving the indication, instructions are sent by the server(s) to at least one of the devices, wherein the instructions cause presentation of a modified user interface that excludes from the user interface an icon corresponding to the unavailable item.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2024Publication date: December 12, 2024Inventors: Bruce Bell, James Lintern, Brian Partridge, Ghassan Abu-Ghaida, Matthew T.

Patent number: 12051049Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically modifying a user interface of a mobile computing device in a restaurant are described. In examples, the techniques include identifying selectable icons to display on the user interface, each of which represents an item offered for sale. The mobile computing device may comprise a first sensor for determining a location of the mobile computing device and a second sensor for determining environmental factors associated with the restaurant. At a first time and based on output of the first sensor, a location of the mobile computing device may be determined, and a set of selectable icons may be presented. Based at least in part on data from the second sensor, a change in environmental factor(s) may be determined. Based on the change in the second context, selectable icons may be dynamically modified and presented. The location and environmental factor(s) are determined without a user input.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: July 30, 2024Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Bruce Bell, James Lintern, Brian Partridge, Ghassan Abu-Ghaida, Matthew T.

Patent number: 11064047Abstract: Techniques described are directed to accessibility of instant application data via an associated application. In an example, a service provider can cause a first user interface associated with an instant application associated with a particular, discrete functionality of an application to be presented via a first user computing device of a user. The service provider can receive data via an interaction with the first user interface associated with the instant application. The service provider can receive a request to download the application from a second user computing device of the user, cause the application to be downloaded on the second user computing device of the user, and cause the data received via the interaction with the first user interface associated with the instant application to be associated with the application on the second user computing device.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Brian Stegall, Kenneth Randall Kinsella Wigginton, Arjun Mahanti, Marc David Perry, Matthew T.

Patent number: 10867291Abstract: Systems and processes for remote provisioning of manager approval are described. A point-of-sale application on a worker mobile device can send a request for manager approval to perform a transaction-related action for which a worker lacks sufficient permissions. A manager application on a remote manager device can display a notification of the request and can also present additional information regarding the request (and historical requests), including a queue of pending requests that can be generated and updated according to priority rules and transaction conditions. The manager application receives an indication of the manager's approval to the worker mobile device. In response, the worker mobile device can automatically perform the action. In some configurations, an intermediate device (e.g., a local or remote server device) can execute the manager application and can add data and capabilities to the system and processes.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Yien, Amar Dhingra, David Arvelo, Matthew T.
