System and a Method for Facilitating the Provision of Goods

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform operations, comprising:
• receiving, over a communication network and from an interactive display provided on a first computing device associated with a first individual, a request for a catalogue of items available for purchase at an automated store;
• determining, based at least in part on the request, a location of the first computing device;
• identifying one or more automated stores associated with the location of the first computing device;
• determining, based on information received from the one or more automated stores, a current inventory of items at the one or more automated stores associated with the location of the first computing device;
• generating the catalogue of items using the current inventory of items of the one or more automated stores associated with the location of the first computing device;
• causing a display of the catalogue of items at the first computing device;
• receiving, from the first computing device, a purchase order request for a selected item in the catalogue of items;
• generating an identification token associated with the selected item, the identification token causing the one or more automated stores to dispense the selected item when the identification token is presented at the one or more automated stores;
• identifying a second individual associated with one or more of the location of the first computing device or a location of the one or more automated stores, the second individual being identified via a second computing device associated with the second individual;
• and
• transmitting the identification token to the second computing device associated with the second individual.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, over a communication network and from an interactive display provided on a computing device associated with an individual, a request for an inventory of items currently available at one or more automated stores associated with a current location of the computing device;
• generating a catalogue of items using the current inventory of items of the one or more automated stores associated with the location of the computing device;
• causing a display of the catalogue of items at the computing device;
• receiving, from the computing device, a selection of an item for purchase from the automated store;
• generating an identification token associated with the item;
• and
• causing the automated store to dispense the item when the identification token is provided to the automated store.

• receiving, from the computing device, a selection of an item in the catalogue of items;
• generating an identification token associated with the selected item, the identification token causing the one or more automated stores to release the selected item when the identification token is presented at the one or more automated stores;
• and
• transmitting the identification token to one or more of the computing device or the one or more automated stores.
