Abstract

Disclosed here are various embodiments to evaluate a device and present a price quote to the user by detecting a presence of a device in proximity to a wireless charger. The system can utilize a wireless charger to obtain information about the device while charging the device. The information can include the make of the device. The system can guide the user to navigate the device to provide additional information such as model, memory capacity, unique identifier, and carrier associated with the device. Based on the unique identifier, the system can determine whether device has been stolen. If the device has not been stolen, the system can determine a price based on information obtained from the device and can facilitate presenting the price to the user. If the user accepts the price, the system can facilitate purchase of the device.

Claims (64)

1. A kiosk comprising:

a wireless charger;

one or more processors; and

at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

detect a presence of a mobile device in proximity to the wireless charger;

determine that the mobile device supports wireless charging by:

instructing the wireless charger to send a message to the mobile device according to a wireless protocol associated with the wireless charger, and

determining, via the wireless charger, that the mobile device responded to the message via a response message that indicated the mobile device supports wireless charging via the wireless protocol;

upon determining, via the wireless charger, that the mobile device supports wireless charging, determine that the mobile device is charging by the response message;

upon determining that the mobile device is charging, obtain, from the mobile device, information of the mobile device via the wireless charger using the wireless protocol,

wherein the information includes a make of the mobile device and a unique identifier (UID) of the mobile device;

determine, by the one or more processors, a price of the mobile device based on the obtained information associated with the mobile device; and

present, by a user interface of the kiosk, the price of the mobile device to a user associated with the mobile device.

2. The kiosk of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

utilize a near field communication (NFC) protocol between the mobile device and a processor associated with the wireless charger to obtain a memory capacity associated with the mobile device, a model of the mobile device, and a carrier associated with the mobile device.

3. The kiosk of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

upon determining the mobile device is stolen, cause the kiosk to refuse to accept the mobile device.

4. The kiosk of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

upon determining that the mobile device is not charged, present, by the user interface, a suggestion to the user to wait while the mobile device is being charged;

upon determining a refusal of the presented suggestion, obtain, by a camera of the kiosk, images of the mobile device;

based on the images of the mobile device, determine a type of the mobile device based on a height, a width, and a curvature of a corner of the mobile device;

determine the price of the mobile device based on the type of the mobile device; and

present, by the user interface, the price to the user.

5. The kiosk of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

upon determining that the mobile device does not support wireless charging, message the user to charge the mobile device.

6. The kiosk of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

upon determining that the mobile device does not support wireless charging, obtain, by a camera of the kiosk, images of the mobile device; and

based on the images of the mobile device, determine a type of the mobile device based on at least one of a height, a width, or a curvature of a corner of the mobile device.

7. The kiosk of claim 6 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

identify a cable configured to connect to the mobile device based on the type of the mobile device; and

cause the kiosk to present the cable to the user associated with the mobile device.

8. The kiosk of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

determine that the mobile device is not stolen by obtaining a list of stolen mobile devices and determining that the UID of the mobile device is not associated with the list of stolen mobile devices, wherein determining the price of the mobile device is performed upon determining that the mobile device is not stolen.

9. A method performed by one or more processors of a kiosk, the method comprising:

detecting, by the one or more processors, a presence of a mobile device in proximity to a wireless charger of the kiosk;

determining, by the one or more processors, that the mobile device supports wireless charging by:

instructing the wireless charger to send a message to the mobile device according to a wireless protocol associated with the wireless charger, and

determining, via the wireless charger, that the mobile device responded to the message via a response message that indicated the mobile device supports wireless charging via the wireless protocol;

upon determining, via the wireless charger, that the mobile device supports wireless charging, determine that the mobile device is charging by the response message;

upon determining that the mobile device is charging, obtaining, from the mobile device, information of the mobile device via the wireless charger using the wireless protocol,

wherein the information includes a make of the mobile device and a unique identifier (UID) of the mobile device;

determining, by the one or more processors, a price of the mobile device based on the obtained information of the mobile device; and

presenting, by a user interface of the kiosk, the price of the mobile device to a user associated with the mobile device.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein obtaining the information associated with the mobile device comprises:

utilizing a near field communication (NFC) protocol between the mobile device and a processor associated with the wireless charger to obtain a memory capacity associated with the mobile device, a model of the mobile device, and a carrier associated with the mobile device.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

upon determining the mobile device is stolen, causing, by the one or more processors, the kiosk to refuse to accept the mobile device.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

upon determining that the mobile device is not charged, presenting, by the user interface, a suggestion to the user to wait while the mobile device is being charged;

upon determining a refusal of the presented suggestion, obtaining, by a camera of the kiosk, images of the mobile device;

based on the images of the mobile device, determining, by the one or more processors, a type of the mobile device based on a height, a width, and a curvature of a corner of the mobile device;

determining, by the one or more processors, the price of the mobile device based on the type of the mobile device; and

presenting, by the user interface, the price to the user.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

upon determining that the mobile device does not support wireless charging, messaging, by the one or more processors, the user to charge the mobile device.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

upon determining that the mobile device does not support wireless charging, obtaining, by a camera of the kiosk, images of the mobile device; and

based on the images of the mobile device, determining, by the one or more processors, a type of the mobile device based on a height, a width, and a curvature of a corner of the mobile device.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

determining, by the one or more processors, a cable configured to connect to the mobile device based on the type of the mobile device; and

causing, by the one or more processors, the kiosk to present the cable to the mobile device.

16. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

determining that the mobile device is not stolen by obtaining a list of stolen mobile devices and determining that the UID of the mobile device is not associated with the list of stolen mobile devices, wherein determining the price of the mobile device is performed upon determining that the mobile device is not stolen.
