US Patent:

6836527, Dec 28, 2004

Filed:

Feb 6, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/774640

Inventors:

Donald R. Wooldridge - Dunkirk MD
Mark Richard - Pasadena MD
Scott B. Yoder - Upper Marlboro MD

Assignee:

Batching Systems, Inc. - Prince Frederick MD

International Classification:

G06M 1100

US Classification:

377 53, 377 6, 250221, 2502221

Abstract:

An improved method for counting irregular or unsymmetrical shaped articles that allows greater precision and provides enhanced features over current counting devices and methods. The method improves upon current devices and methods by providing a more precise volume for each article by using actual cross sectional areas of articles. The improved method also allows the user to count broken or incomplete articles as âpartialâ volumes. These partial volumes may be added to one another to give a precise total batch volume. The actual cross sectional areas may also be used to allow the user to display three dimensional adaptations of each article counted. Because this information is stored, the articles may be displayed at any time after the articles are scanned. The improved method also allows a user to determine the distance between articles, by using the counting device, and, using this information, adjust the feed rate of the device to an optimum feed rate.

Abstract:

GPS-based position reporting suffers from probabilistic error. This disclosure reduces uncertainty by mapping a geometric figure that encompasses a GPS-based reported location and that bounds corresponding predetermined-as-more-probable true locations (MPTL's) among possible locations for the source of the reported location. The mapped figure is overlaid on a relatively accurate mapping of substantially adjacent polygonal areas. Areas of overlap are used for picking among the areas, the polygonal area most likely to be occupied by the source. In one embodiment, the polygonal areas are closely packed parking spots in a parking lot, garage or other like structure, the source is a customer's mobile phone and an attendant is tasked with quickly delivering ordered goods to the customer's parking spot.

International Classification:

G06Q 20/14
G06Q 50/12
G06Q 20/32

Abstract:

Technology is disclosed for automatically building an expandable invoice for incurred charges based on recognition of charge-incurring activities by persons whose specific identities are not known via the activity recognition process. A separate process detects location of sourcing and time for a Patron-presence and Patron-identifying Advertising radio Signal (P/PAS) repeatedly broadcast by a P/PAS emitter possessed by each participating patron. Records from the two processes are matched and combined based on substantial proximity in time and space for the activity recognition and the presence detection. Payment on a pay-go-whenever-ready (PGWeR) basis is enabled with use of the built invoice. A patron can pay and leave whenever ready to do so without need for intervention by an on premise staff member.

Assignee:

Radius Networks Inc. - Washington DC

International Classification:

G06Q 20/32
G06Q 30/02
H04W 4/021

Abstract:

Prior arrangement information is automatically fetched in response to detection that a radio presence advertising mobile device of a user is disposed in a region of interest that is operatively adjacent to a transaction-processing location. The fetched information is used to automatically modify the transaction.
