    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system are described for ordering items within a zone of a physical location. An example method may include wirelessly receiving at a server via a computer network a unique identifier associated with a physical ordering device, the physical ordering device being remotely located from the server, retrieving, at the server from an information source, item information describing an item configured to be associated with the unique identifier of the physical ordering device, retrieving, at the server from the information source, shipping data including a physical location uniquely associated with the physical ordering device, and generating at the server a purchase request for re-ordering the item. The method may further include processing at the server the purchase request, and authorizing at the server shipment of the item to the physical location associated with the physical ordering device responsive to the processing of the purchase request.

    Abstract: The disclosure includes technology for providing custom content for display. In an example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes storing unique customer types in a non-transitory computer storage device; storing in the computer storage device custom contents in association with one or more of the different customer types; receiving at a user device or a server coupled to the user device interaction data from the user device of a user describing an interaction by the user with a site presented for display to the user on the user device; determining by the user device or the server a customer type for the user; querying by the user device or the server the custom contents stored on the computer storage device for a custom content matching the customer type and associated with the interaction data; and presenting the custom content to the user via the display of the user device.

    Abstract: A restocking hub with interchangeable buttons mapped to item identifiers is described herein. In some instances, a local hub may receive an actuation signal from a particular interchangeable button communicatively coupled with the local hub. The actuation signal may include a button ID that identifies the particular interchangeable button and may indicating an actuation of the particular interchangeable button. The local hub may generate an order signal identifying the button ID based on the actuation signal, and may transmit the order signal instructing a remote server to perform a defined operation using the button ID. In some instances, the local hub may output a confirmation notification based on data received from the remote server based on the defined operation.

    Abstract: A restocking hub with interchangeable buttons mapped to item identifiers is described herein. In some instances, a local hub may receive an actuation signal from a particular button of a set of interchangeable buttons communicatively coupled with the local hub, the local hub being communicatively coupled with a remote server. The local hub may transmit a signal including a button ID of the particular button to the remote server based on the particular button being activated and the local hub receiving the actuation signal from the particular button. In some implementations, the remote server may determine an item associated with the particular button and attributes of the item based on the button ID of the particular button and a mapping of button IDs to items in a database accessible by the remote server, and execute a defined action using the attributes of the item associated with the particular button.

    Abstract: According to an example implementation, a method comprises generating a graphical asynchronous messaging user interface including an input region containing a set of digital images of items and an activity region displaying graphical messaging elements respectively representing messages sent between a consumer node and a provider node, displaying the graphical asynchronous messaging user interface, receiving a first user input from a user via the input region selecting a first digital image associated with a first item from the set of digital images of items in the input region, generating a first message including the first digital image associated with the first item, including the first message including the first digital image associated with the first item in a first messaging element in the activity region displayed to the user on the display device, and transmitting the first message via a public computer network as a request to the provider node.
