Filed:

Jan 31, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/343696

Inventors:

Mobeen Syed - Attleboro MA, US
Colin Matthias - Waltham MA, US
Jan Rosen - Sutton MA, US
Patrick Babcock - Sturbridge MA, US
Marc Schultz - Sudbury MA, US

Assignee:

Staples The Office Superstore, LLC - Framingham MA

International Classification:

G06F 15/177
G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709220000, 709223000

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus are provided for managing relationships between individual components and configurations assembled to fulfill requirements in a computer system. In one embodiment, a method is provided whereby a configuration which includes a set of components is dynamically modified to add an additional component, so that the additional component can communicate with at least some of the set of components to fulfill a requirement. In one illustrative implementation in a retail store environment, a cash register configuration is dynamically modified to incorporate a handheld scanning device during periods of high customer traffic, so that a store employee can use the scanning device to provide input to the cash register while it would otherwise have sat idle (e.g., while the cashier is bagging another customer's items).

Inventors:

- San Jose CA, US
Mobeen Syed - San Jose CA, US

International Classification:

G06Q 20/32
G06Q 20/38

Abstract:

There are provided systems and method for payment code generation using a wireless beacon at a merchant location. A check-in at a merchant location may be completed using a wireless beacon at the merchant location with a communication device. After check-in a user using the communication device may request a payment code be generated from a payment provider that enables the user to have the payment code scanned by a merchant scanner at a point of sale device and complete payment for items with the merchant. The request to generate the payment code may be transmitted from the communication device to the wireless beacon, where the wireless beacon transmits the code over a network connection with the payment provider. Once the code is generated, the wireless beacon may receive the code and transmit the code back to the communication device.

Abstract:

There are provided systems and methods for suspending and resuming transactions through wireless beacon communications. A merchant may set up a wireless beacon with employee devices. The beacons may connect to a user's device and assist the employee with determining and suspending a transaction for the user. Based on the connections between the user's device and a wireless beacon attached to an employee device, the employee device may receive an identifier for the user. The identifier may also be received from a previous check-in by the user. The employee or a user may scan one or more items that the user may wish to purchase. A transaction may be generated using the scan and may be associated with the user's identifier. Later the transaction may be recalled using the user's identifier or a transaction code identifying the transaction. Payment information for the user may also be associated with the transaction.

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
H04W 4/00

Abstract:

There are provided systems and methods for wireless beacon devices used to track medical information at a hospital. A hospital may set up one or more wireless beacons throughout the hospital that may connect with various devices when the devices are within a proximity range from one or more of the beacons. The devices may be connected to a user or an item within the hospital. Thus, when the device connects to a beacon, the device may be associated with a location for the beacon and instructions associated with the user or item may be retrieved. The instruction may relate to the user, such as medical histories for the user, required testing or medication for the user, or a medical chart of current medical care provided for the user. The instruction may also relate to items, such as locations for surgical equipment, use of medical equipment, and administration of medicines.
