Abstract: A kiosk for accepting a portable electronic device from a client in exchange for payment includes a display, one or more cameras, a portable device receiving arrangement, a payment dispensing arrangement, and a communication connection to a remote server and/or operator. The kiosk is configured to, in conjunction with the remote server and/or operator, control an application program executing on the portable electronic device and one or more the cameras to detect characteristics of the portable electronic device. The kiosk is also configured to determine a value for the portable electronic device based upon aspects including the detected characteristics, and to display the determined value on said at least one display for approval by the client. Subsequently, based upon the determined value, the kiosk provides a payment to the client via the payment dispensing arrangement, and deposits the portable electronic device in the kiosk for subsequent collection.

Abstract: Enhanced evaluation of pre-owned electronic devices related services are described. Example evaluation devices (e.g. kiosks etc.) and techniques for such enhanced evaluation are described. An example evaluation device includes an evaluation area in which a previously-owned electronic device (e.g. smartphone etc.) is arranged with one of its cameras configured to capture images of the evaluation area. An example apparatus includes an evaluation area, and a previously-owned electronic device arranged with one of its cameras configured to capture images of another previously-owned electronic device within the evaluation area. Other example implementations include detecting microdefects and/or micro-differences in captured images, and thereby identifying previously-owned electronic device; evaluating a previously-owned electronic device, and based on the evaluation, providing any of a repair quote, an insurance or warranty quote, an insurance or warranty claim, a certification, or a promise to purchase; selecting a context from the plurality of contexts for an evaluation, and processing evaluation session attributes based on the selected context; and providing a point-of-sale integration component configured to intercept data from a coupon reader associated with a point-of-sale system.
