  • Patent number: 10657372
    Abstract: A system for identifying and displaying one or more optimal locations within a lot for a garden in which to plant and grow suggested plant varieties is discussed. The system includes a robotic device positioned and configured to scan the lot and to generate at least one lot parameter. The system also includes a soil sensor positionable in soil in the lot and configured to generate at least one soil parameter. The system further includes a computing system configured to execute a location optimization module that determines varieties of suggested plants based on the soil parameter and the lot parameter. Based on a user selection from the varieties of suggested plants, the computing system identifies optimal locations for a garden within the lot for the one or more selected plants. The computing system transmits the optimal locations for the garden to a user computing device for display.

  • Publication number: 20190385115
    Abstract: Examples provide a system for monitoring cold-chain compliance via temperature-sensitive, cold-chain indicators on perishable item. A cold-chain indicator includes temperature-sensitive ink configured to activate when a temperature outside a per-item threshold temperature range is detected. The color of the ink fades to decrease visibility of a portion of the indicator or the color of the ink darkens to increase visibility of a portion of the indicator. The temperature-sensitive indicator can include a watermark, a barcode, a quick response code, a label, or any other type of indicator. Temperature data is gathered from one or more cold-chain indicators. An analytics component analyzes the temperature data to determine an item's route outside temperature-controlled areas, an amount of time an item has been outside of a temperature-controlled display case, status of a temperature-controlled display case and/or optimal location of temperature-controlled display case storing perishable items.

  • Patent number: 10499265
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for providing an “always on” offline transaction collection. When networks go down, mobile devices can be used to generate a mesh network, where each device has a list of scheduled, future events which are planned to occur. When the events are performed, the mesh network verifies and/or records the event, so that duplication of the event does not take place. In this manner planned transactions can continue despite a network connection being down.

  • Publication number: 20190043475
    Abstract: Spoken language localization systems and methods are described. A spoken language localization system receives samples from one or more audio sensors that detect speech of an opted-in individual in proximity to a computing device, parses the samples, identifies the parsed samples as an identified language using the language rules engine and at least one language database, determines whether the identified language corresponds to a language listed in a user account, and automatically localizes the application to the identified language on the computing device based on determining that the identified language corresponds to a language listed in a user account of a user associated with the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20190045025
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic recognition feedback acquisition are discussed. A recognition feedback acquisition system acquires information from the short-range communication device of associated with an individual by reading the short-range communication device and generates recognition information regarding the individual that includes the acquired tag information. The recognition feedback acquisition system further assigns a value to the received recognition information, aggregates the assigned value for the individual to update a recognition status, and transmits data regarding the updated recognition status to a device associated with the individual.

  • Publication number: 20180260771
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing an inventor of food products. The system includes a processor in communication with a memory storage device. The processor is configured to create a database of conditions of a food product available for purchase at a location, monitor one or more of the conditions of the food product at the location over a first period of time, determine the optimal condition of the food product based on the condition of the food product when sold at the location during the first period of time, and determine a state of the food products to be purchased for a second period of time later than the first period of time based on the determined optimal condition of the food product.
