  • Publication number: 20240020671
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and non-transitory media for providing prescient and adaptive point-of-sale services via electronic networks are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include a system with one or more servers. The one or more servers may be configured to generate digital consumer tokens and provide the digital consumer tokens to consumer devices for sharing with merchant devices. When a merchant device receives the digital consumer token, the merchant device may forward the digital consumer token to the one or more servers in exchange for consumer data to facilitate consumer service. In some embodiments, the one or more servers may be configured to provide point-of-sale interfaces that adapt to different consumer preferences or consumer device signals. Some embodiments may provide for consumer interfaces that allow consumers to manage their electronic identity at various (e.g., merchant) locations.

  • Patent number: 11093920
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and non-transitory media for programmatically grouping consumer devices into stable spatial clusters are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include a point-of-sale system including a first consumer device of a stable spatial cluster of consumer devices to serve as a communication beacon. The first consumer device, that serves as the communication beacon, is configured to transmit and receive signals between a server and the other consumer devices of the stable spatial cluster of consumer devices. The other consumer devices receive a beacon identifier from the first consumer device and are thereby associated with a point-of-sale order to facilitate suitable point-of-sale functionality that may be provided via the first consumer device.

  • Patent number: 11003309
    Abstract: Provided herein are a method and apparatus for facilitating a learning user interface. The interface may be presented as a plurality of dynamic icons representing a plurality of items. The interface may be facilitated by determining, via a processor, a visual bias for at least one of the plurality of dynamic icons, wherein the visual bias may include an at least partial ring extending about the at least one of the plurality of dynamic icons. The interface further may be facilitated by applying, via the interface, the visual bias to the at least one of the plurality of dynamic icons and in response to a user selection of such at least one dynamic icon, incrementing the visual bias, such that the incrementing of the visual bias is triggered by the selection of the at least one dynamic icon.
