  • Publication number: 20240202691
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing point-of-sale (“POS”) transactions for variable weighted and variable priced agricultural products. A system is configured to handle the seasonal nature of harvesting and selling by integrating in-person transactions with an online ecommerce solution. The system is accordingly configured to enable a vendor to take orders online and offline, manage inventory, offer buyer-specific pricing and units (e.g., retail, wholesale, private, or custom), and offer pricing by unit or at a set price. The use of a single account for all of the above-POS modalities enables a vendor to use the same application interface seamlessly rather than separate applications, thereby simplifying inventory management. This also enables a vendor to consolidate all orders, transactions, and locations into a single online ecommerce solution.

  • Patent number: 10712862
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a foldable touch screen having first and second portions and a bendable intermediate portion connecting the first portion to the second portion. The foldable touch screen has a capacitive touch matrix therein. A touch screen controller acquires touch data from the capacitive touch matrix, calculates strength values of nodes of the capacitive touch matrix based upon the acquired touch data, calculates a first value, the first value being an average strength of nodes of the capacitive touch matrix located in the first portion of the foldable touch screen, calculates a second value, the second value being an average strength of nodes of the capacitive touch matrix located in the second portion of the foldable touch screen, and determines that the foldable touch screen is in a closed position based upon the first value and the second value both being greater than a first given strength value.
