Abstract

Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are provided for optimizing package delivery and confirmation are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system's processors accesses a first image of an assigned delivery location captured by a first computing device. The first image comprises an annotation indicating a specific location at the assigned delivery location for delivery of a parcel. At a display device of a second computing device, a real-time image stream comprising the annotation is captured by a camera of the second computing device is displayed. The annotation is overlaid within the real-time image stream based on comparing the first image received from the first computing device to the real-time image stream. The system further captures, from the real-time image stream, a second image when the parcel is positioned at the specific location based on the annotation overlaid within the real-time image stream.

Dependent claims

A system for optimizing package delivery and confirmation, the system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more computer storage devices storing computer-useable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
accessing a first image of an assigned delivery location captured by a first computing device, wherein the first image of the assigned delivery location comprises an annotation indicating a specific location at the assigned delivery location for delivery of a parcel;
displaying, at a display device of a second computing device, a real-time image stream captured by a camera of the second computing device, wherein the real-time image stream comprises the annotation, the annotation being overlaid within the real-time image stream based on comparing the first image received from the first computing device to the real-time image stream;
and
capturing, from the real-time image stream, a second image when the parcel is positioned at the specific location based on the annotation overlaid within the real-time image stream.

4 more elements

A computer implemented method for optimizing package delivery and confirmation, the method comprising:

receiving an annotation indicating a specific location at an assigned delivery location for delivery of a parcel, the annotation being determined from a first image of the assigned delivery location captured by a first computing device, wherein the first image of the assigned delivery location is annotated at the first computing device;
displaying, at a display device of a second computing device, the annotation indicating the specific location, the annotation being overlaid on a real-time image stream captured by a camera of the second computing device, wherein the annotation indicates the assigned delivery location;
and
capturing, from the real-time image stream, a second image from the real-time image stream, the second image comprising the parcel positioned at the specific location based on the annotation overlaid within the real-time image stream.
