  • Publication number: 20190172033
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and non-transitory media for providing point-of-sale functionality are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include a system including a merchant device and a consumer facing device. The merchant device may include a merchant display device configured to present interactive displays of a merchant facing interface configured to be used by merchants. The consumer facing device may be configured to present interactive displays of a consumer facing interface configured to be used by consumers. The point-of-sale system may be configured to facilitate financial transactions and other forms of consumer service. For example, merchant inputs provided via the merchant facing interface (e.g., entered menu items) may be shown on the consumer facing interface. In another example, consumer inputs provided via the consumer facing interface be sent to the merchant device and/or otherwise used by the merchant device to facilitate a financial transaction, among other things.

  • Publication number: 20180357807
    Abstract: Example embodiments described herein pertain to a geospatial interface system configured to cause display of geospatial data within a graphical user interface at a client device, receive data points from multiple data sources, unify the data points, and present the unified data points as interactive graphical elements within the graphical user interface, in a presentation layer separate from the geospatial data. In example embodiments, the geospatial interface system may be or include a group of one or more server machines configured to provide one or more geospatial data display, indexing, and management services. A client device may accordingly display a graphical user interface generated by the geospatial interface system.

  • Patent number: 10110357
    Abstract: A cooperative communication method and a cooperative communication system are provided for the transmission between multiple transmission devices and their corresponding receiving devices. In a first phase of a communication period, at least one of the multiple transmission devices performs a first phase precoding on data using a multicasting precoding matrix so as to transmit the data precoded by the first phase precoding to other transmission devices. In a second phase of the communication period, the multiple transmission devices performs a second phase precoding on data received in the first phase using a joint precoding matrix so as to transmit the data precoded by the second phase precoding to the multiple receiving devices corresponding to the multiple transmission devices.

  • Publication number: 20170329569
    Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for displaying an update to a geographical area are presented. An indication of an update to geographical area is received. The geographical area is displayed on one or more devices. Moreover, the geographical area includes an artifact that corresponds to geospatial data. The update to the geographical area is generated based on the received indication of the update. Data that causes display of the generated update to the geographical area is transmitted to each of the one or more devices.

  • Patent number: 9674278
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a tile management server. The management server receives, from a client device, a request for geographic data, the request having a management server request format. The management server selects a first geographic server, out of multiple geographic servers, for processing the request. The management server translates the request from the management server request format into a first geographic server request format. The first geographic server request format is for communicating with the first geographic server. A second geographic server from among the plurality of geographic servers communicates using a second geographic server request format different from the first geographic server request format. The management server transmits, to the first geographic server, the request translated into the first geographic server request format in order to cause the first geographic server to provide the geographic data to the client device.
