Publication number: 20250315783Abstract: A system reduces user wait times for order pickup by dynamically managing geofences based on user location and historical data. The system receives an order and route-based location data from a user device, and determines a personalized outer geofence using the user's estimated arrival time and a runner's estimated retrieval time, incorporating historical wait time data. An inner geofence is established near the pickup location. When the user enters the outer geofence, a notification is sent to a runner client device indicating the user is en route. Upon the user entering the inner geofence, the system initiates a wait time measurement, which ends upon confirmation of order pickup. The system calculates the user's wait time based on timestamps associated with these events. This computed wait time is then used to determine an outer geofence for a second user, allowing continuous geofence optimization based on evolving user and location data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2025Publication date: October 9, 2025Inventors: Daniel Hsiao, Jason Scott, Michael Jablonski, Nima Zahedi

Patent number: 12354059Abstract: A system receives an order from one or more user client devices associated with an account of the system, and transmits a first notification to the one or more user client devices that an order is ready for pick up at a pickup location. The system receives location data from a particular user client device of the one or more user client devices. The system determines an outer geofence based in part on a running average time or wait time at the pickup location in a recent time period, a size of the order, or a historical wait time associated with the account. In response to receiving an indication from the particular user client device that a user associated with the particular user has entered the determined outer geofence, the system transmits a second notification to a runner client device.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2023Date of Patent: July 8, 2025Assignee: Maplebear Inc.Inventors: Daniel Hsiao, Jason Scott, Michael Jablonski, Nima Zahedi

Patent number: 11763251Abstract: An online concierge system receives an order from a customer. The online concierge system transmits a notification to the customer's client device indicating that the order is ready for pick up and receives location data from the customer's client device as the customer travels to a pickup location. In response to the online concierge system receiving a first indication that the customer has entered an outer geofence, the online concierge system transmits a second notification to a runner's client device that the customer is in transit. In response to the online concierge system receiving a second indication that the customer has entered an inner geofence, the online concierge system starts a timer. When the online system receives a confirmation that the order has been picked up by the customer, it stops the timer and computes a wait time for pick up of the order.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2019Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Maplebear, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Hsiao, Jason Scott, Michael Jablonski, Nima Zahedi

Patent number: 4844614Abstract: An interchangeable beam splitter holder includes a retainer which holds the beam splitter, and a front door and rear door which are both hingedly connected to the retainer. The doors are movable between a closed position, in which the doors substantially cover the beam splitter, and an open position, in which the doors are pivoted upwardly so that the beam splitter is exposed. The beam splitter holder also has three adjusting screws with ends which are adapted to abut against pivot points in the interferometer to thereby align the beam splitter. The beam splitter holder also has three spring plungers which abut against surfaces within the interferometer to push the ends of the adjusting screws against the three pivot points in the interferometer.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 1987Date of Patent: July 4, 1989Assignee: Nicolet Instrument CorporationInventors: Jeff R.
