Abstract
A computer-implemented method for incentivizing logistically convenient delivery orders is disclosed. The method includes monitoring, by a computing device, delivery orders of users which include a pick-up location, a drop-off location, an estimated time of pick-up, and an estimated time of drop-off. The method further includes determining, based on the monitoring of delivery orders, a trending drop-off location and a trending drop-off time. The method further includes determining, based on the trending drop-off location, the trending drop-off time, and a current location of the users, a subset of users. The method further includes sending to the subset of users an incentive to place a delivery order.
Claims20
A method for incentivizing logistically convenient delivery orders, the method comprising:
- monitoring, by a computing device, delivery orders of users which include a pick-up location, a drop-off location, an estimated time of pick-up, and an estimated time of drop-off;
- determining, based on the monitoring of delivery orders, a trending drop-off location and a trending drop-off time;
- determining, based on the trending drop-off location, the trending drop-off time, and a current location of the users, a subset of users;
- and
- sending to the subset of users an incentive to place a delivery order.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a device, cause a processor to:
- monitor, by a computing device, delivery orders of users which include a pick-up location, a drop-off location, an estimated time of pick-up, and an estimated time of drop-off;
- determine, based on the monitoring of delivery orders, a trending drop-off location and a trending drop-off time;
- determine, based on the trending drop-off location, the trending drop-off time, and a current location of the users, a subset of users;
- and
- send to the subset of users an incentive to place a delivery order.
A device having a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- monitor, by a computing device, delivery orders of users which include a pick-up location, a drop-off location, an estimated time of pick-up, and an estimated time of drop-off;
- determine, based on the monitoring of delivery orders, a trending drop-off location and a trending drop-off time;
- determine, based on the trending drop-off location, the trending drop-off time, and a current location of the users, a subset of users;
- and
- send to the subset of users an incentive to place a delivery order.
