Embodiments of the present invention provide a communicable integration of a user network of devices and a vendor system. Embodiments receive, at the vendor system from the user network of devices, a request for provisioning of products by a vendor; determine a provisioning location for provisioning of the products by the vendor; continuously identify a real-time location of the user via the one or more components of the user network of devices; continuously calculate a real-time first limit based on the continuously identified current location of the user and the provisioning location; calculate a total time to provision the products comprising a sum of a product preparation time and the real-time first limit; and optimize delivery of the products based on the total time to provision and the real-time location of the user.

A method for security and/or automation systems is described. In one embodiment, the method includes integrating, via a processor of a first computing device, a secure delivery option in relation to a checkout interface of a point of sale (POS) system. In some cases, the method includes receiving, via the processor, an input to enable the secure delivery option in relation to an order being placed via the checkout interface, generating, via the processor, an access code for the order based at least in part on enabling the secure delivery option, and enabling, via the processor, access to a premises via the access code generated for the order.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system and method for providing a high-volume transaction queueing, reserve ecommerce solution that automatically engages and queues transactions when a primary back-end transaction processing system becomes unresponsive or unstable. Through machine learning algorithms, embodiments of the invention control transaction submission rates by queuing them and throttling the rate at which they are processed based on self-awareness and constant monitoring, feedback and health checks of the primary system. When metrics indicate that the third-party system can begin accepting transactions again, the system automatically feeds the queued transactions along with real-time orders at a rate that the third-party system can successfully manage.

The invention discloses a waitressing drone that brings drinks to people at the restaurant, and the orders are identified from the Facebook photo of the user, that the drone displays when making the delivery. The invention facilitates the interaction with humans and drones via the social network. With the invention, the order input time is greatly reduced for the consumer, and the consumer may move about while waiting for the order as the drone finds the consumer. Also importantly, the social nature of the drone allows for the sharing of drones among multiple human users. Further, the interfacing of the social human profile with non-human drone profiles allows for the continuous retraining and reprogramming of drones to meet more specific and individualistic user tasks, thereby liberating people from mundane manual labour.

A device is provided that includes a logic processor, a power storage cell, a sensor, a wireless logic and a power source. The power source is configured to harvest power in response to exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy using an antenna element of the device. The harvested power is transferred to the power storage cell such that when the power storage cell has a usable amount of power the logic processor (a) samples data using the sensor, (b) processes the sample data into a message that is encrypted, and (c) transmits the message using the wireless logic to an end node that is configured to receive the message from the device. When usable amount of power is not present in the power storage cell during any one of (a)-(c), data is saved in persistent memory until additional harvested power is present in the power storage cell.

The embodiments of the application disclose a payment method, apparatus, device, system and storage medium. In the method, a target graphic identifier through the first application app is identified to obtain the first address; wherein, the first app is one of multiple optional apps, and the optional apps comprise apps with payment functions and apps without payment functions; order confirmation information is sent to the first server based on the first page corresponding to the first address; the second address corresponding to an unified payment gateway fed back by the first server is received; a payment component to pay for the order based on the second page corresponding to the second address is called. A payment method, apparatus, device, system and storage medium in embodiments of the application can reduce interface cost, improve payment efficiency, and users can complete payment by scanning codes using any app.

The present disclosure relates to a data processing method, device, and storage medium. The method includes obtaining information indicating that a plurality of users put one or more items into a container device. The information includes a device identification of the container device, user identifications of the plurality of users, item identifications of the one or more items, and action information indicating that the users put one or more items into the container device. The method includes determining a correspondence between the items and the users according to the information indicating that the plurality of users put one or more items into the container device.

A biometric exit system controls exit of a person from an area with an asset. The system obtains a digital representation of a biometric for the person. The system receives an identification of the person using the digital representation of the biometric. Using the identification, the system receives permissions regarding whether or not the person may exit the area with the asset. If the person is permitted, the system allows the person to exit. Upon allowing exit, the system may transmit a message to the person. The message may include a confirmation of a transaction and/or one or more offers to which the person can respond.

Techniques and arrangements for integrating predefined templates with open ticket functionality. For instance, a merchant device can identify a type of transaction between a merchant and a customer, select a ticket type for the transaction based on the type of transaction, and select a transaction flow based on the ticket type. The merchant device can then generate an open ticket for the transaction based on the ticket type, and associated transaction flow with the open ticket. Additionally, the merchant device can generate a visual representation of data associated with the open ticket, where a layout of the data within the visual representation is based on the type of transaction and the transaction flow, and present the visual representation to the merchant. In some examples, the type of transaction is identified using received input. In some examples, the type of transaction is identified based on a group associated with the customer.

Systems and methods are disclosed for managing personalized dining checks created by individualized ordering enabled by associating mobile devices of patrons and waiters with table indicia. One method includes: receiving information identifying the user devices of one or more patrons and information identifying a table indicia as a result of associating the user devices of the one or more patrons with a table indicia; initiating a dining session based on information identifying user devices and information identifying a table indicia; receiving requests for dining items and transaction amounts for the dining items from the user devices, each request including information identifying the user device and the table indicia; receiving information confirming the delivery of dining items to the patrons; determining final transaction amount for the requested dining items; sending final transaction amount to the user devices and enabling the user devices to send a payment authorization; receiving a payment transaction authorization from the user devices to transact funds to pay for the final transaction amount using predetermined payment methods; and processing the payment transaction using the payment transaction authorization.
