Abstract
A method for location-dependent determination comprises: determining, with one or more processors, a geographic location of a user's electronic device using first data; in response to determining the determined geographic location is insufficient for performing a location-dependent determination, requesting second data to determine an updated geographic location of the user's electronic device; performing, with an Application Programming Interface (API), the location-dependent determination based on the updated geographic location; and completing, with the API, a transaction using the location-dependent determination.
Claims18
A method for location-dependent determination, comprising:
- determining, with one or more processors, a geographic location of a user's electronic device using first data;
- in response to determining the determined geographic location is insufficient for performing a location-dependent determination, requesting second data to determine an updated geographic location of the user's electronic device;
- performing, with an Application Programming Interface (API), the location-dependent determination based on the updated geographic location, the performing of the location-dependent determination including calculating a type of electricity to transmit to a location of the user's electronic device;
- and
- completing, with the API, a transaction using the location-dependent determination, the completing of the transaction including transmitting the electricity to the determined geographic location.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions which, when read by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations, the operations comprising, at least:
- determining a geographic location of a user's electronic device using first data;
- in response to determining the determined geographic location is insufficient for performing a location-dependent determination, requesting second data to determine an updated geographic location of the user's electronic device;
- performing, with an Application Programming Interface (API), the location-dependent determination based on the updated geographic location, the performing of the location-dependent determination including calculating a type of electricity to transmit to a location of the user's electronic device;
- and
- completing, with the API, a transaction using the location-dependent determination, the completing of the transaction including transmitting the electricity to the determined geographic location.
A computing apparatus for location-dependent determinations, the computing apparatus comprising:
- one or more hardware processors;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor among the processors, cause the computing apparatus to perform operations comprising, at least:
- determining a geographic location of a user's electronic device using first data;
- in response to determining the determined geographic location is insufficient for performing a location-dependent determination, requesting second data to determine an updated geographic location of the user's electronic device;
- performing, with an Application Programming Interface (API), the location-dependent determination based on the updated geographic location, the performing of the location-dependent determination including calculating a type of electricity to transmit to a location of the user's electronic device;
- and
- completing, with the API, a transaction using the location-dependent determination, the completing of the transaction including transmitting the electricity to the determined geographic location.
