  • Publication number: 20240013785
    Abstract: Techniques for dynamic profile data ingestion are described. The system may process profile data associated with one device, such as a mobile device, to associate it with another device, such as a vehicle. For example, when a connection is made between the first device and the second device, the profile data associated with the first device may be associated with the second device, in a manner using a remote system. The remote system may temporarily associate the profile data with the second device, enabling the system to interpret a command using the profile data.

  • Patent number: 11798554
    Abstract: Techniques for dynamic contact ingestion are described. A system may interpret a voice command received from a first device based on contact data or other information associated with a second device connected to the first device. For example, when a data connection is made between the first device and the second device, the first device may receive the contact data and send the contact data to a remote system. The remote system may temporarily associate the contact data with the first device, enabling the remote system to interpret a voice command received from the first device using the contact data. The remote system may use the contact data to perform disambiguation, enabling the remote system to initiate outbound calls, announce inbound calls, and/or the like. When the second device is disconnected from the first device, the remote system may remove the association between the contact data and the first device.

  • Patent number: 11393301
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, systems for enabling physical retail stores and other facilities to implement both automated- and manual-checkout techniques for customers of the stores and/or facilities. For example, the described systems may enable a retail store to implement technology where users are able to pick items from shelves and other inventory locations and exit the store without performing manual checkout of the items, as well as technology to allow users to pay for their items using point-of-sale (POS) and/or other manual-checkout techniques. The systems described herein thus enable hybrid retail facilities, as opposed to a retail facility that is either entirely traditional or entirely enabled for automated checkout.

  • Publication number: 20210182921
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, systems for enabling physical retail stores and other facilities to implement automated-checkout techniques for the purchase of customizable and/or made-to-items items by customers of the stores and/or facilities. For example, the described systems may enable a retail store to implement technology where users are able to order customizable items from an ordering location, an inventory location, or an associate of the facility, and exit the store without performing manual checkout of the items. The systems described herein thus enable customized retail facilities, as opposed to a retail facility that allows automated-checkout only for prepackaged-type or otherwise non-customizable merchandise.

  • Patent number: 11019553
    Abstract: Techniques for establishing communications with user devices are described herein. In an example, a system stores, in a user account, permission data to automatically establish a type of communications session by one or more user devices associated with the user account. The system receives, from a user device associated with the user account, contextual data about the user device. Based at least in part on the contextual data, the system determines that the user device is prohibited from automatically establishing the type of communications session. The system stores an indication that the user device is prohibited from automatically establishing the type of communications session.
