Abstract
A method of providing event notification of upcoming events is provided. A method may include receiving a search request comprising search criteria. The method may also include performing a first search for one or more upcoming events based on the search criteria. Further, the method may include modifying the search criteria and performing a second search for one or more upcoming events based on the modified search criteria. The method may further include determining an upcoming event based on at least one of the first search and the second search. In addition, the method may include transmitting a notification of the upcoming event from the network-based system to a user device.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a non-transitory memory;
- and
- one or more processors configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a search request comprising search criteria;
- performing a first search for one or more upcoming events based on the search criteria;
- modifying the search criteria, wherein modifying the search criteria comprises determining an event category for the search request and modifying the search criteria to include the event category, wherein the event category describes a plurality of events having shared characteristics;
- performing a second search for one or more upcoming events based on the modified search criteria;
- determining an upcoming event belongs to the event category;
- and
- transmitting a notification of the upcoming event to a user device.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, at a network-based system, a search request comprising search criteria;
- performing, via the network-based system, a first search for one or more upcoming events based on the search criteria;
- modifying, via the network-based system, the search criteria, wherein modifying the search criteria comprises determining an event category for the search request and modifying the search criteria to include the event category, wherein the event category describes a plurality of events having shared characteristics;
- performing, via the network-based system, a second search for one or more upcoming events based on the modified search criteria;
- determining, via the network-based system, an upcoming event belongs to the event category;
- and
- transmitting a notification of the upcoming event from the network-based system to a user device.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, in response to being executed by one or more processors of a system, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a search request comprising search criteria;
- performing a first search for one or more upcoming events based on the search criteria;
- modifying the search criteria, wherein modifying the search criteria comprises determining an event category for the search request and modifying the search criteria to include the event category, wherein the event category describes a plurality of events having shared characteristics;
- performing a second search for one or more upcoming events based on the modified search criteria;
- determining an upcoming event belongs to the event category;
- and
- transmitting a notification of the upcoming event to a user device.
