Abstract
The DISTRIBUTIVE ON-DEMAND ADMINISTRATIVE TASKING APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“DODAT™ embodiments”), in many embodiments, transform ticket and user inputs via DODAT™ components into payment and work product outputs.
Claims17
A method for operating a computerized task management system, the method comprising:
- a) executing computer-readable code of the system on a server accessible by at least one manager of the system to provide an application programming interface (API) to a user to receive order data from the user to create a task ticket;
- b) in response to receiving the order data from the user via the API:
- (i) transforming using JSON encoding the order data into task data to be further processed via at least one processor circuit on the server;
- (ii) creating via processor from the task data at least one computer-accessible task ticket having fields identifying at least four of (i) a ticket ID, (ii) a ticket priority, (iii) a ticket timestamp, (iv) a ticket due date, (v) a ticket status, (vi) a ticket value, (vii) a ticket supervisor, (viii) a ticket assignee, (ix) a ticket key, (x) a task status, and (xi) at least one task requirement;
- and
- (iii) storing the at least one task ticket in a database accessible by the server via the at least one processor circuit;
- c) managing selective availability of the at least one task ticket in a queue for a service provider to select via API;
- d) permitting the at least one task ticket to be accepted by the service provider via the API, wherein the ticket is provided by way of a ticket retrieval request that accesses and API call to the server;
- e) receiving acceptance information indicating that the at least one task ticket has been accepted by the service provider;
- f) receiving completion information from the service provider via the API indicating that the at least one task has been completed, wherein the completion information includes verification information in the form of an electronic message including geo-coordinates of the service provider in the form of JSON-encoded text data, and further wherein the verification information includes a digital image tagged with said geo-coordinates, said geo-coordinates corresponding to a location where a task is to be performed;
- g) parsing the JSON-encoded text data of the verification information into PHP script variables;
- h) analyzing the verification information via the at least one processor circuit to determine if an image including EXIF data is included in the verification information and whether the geo-coordinates in the verification information indicate that the verification information was generated at geo-coordinates corresponding to the location where the task was to be performed;
- and
- i) responsive to receipt of the completion information, automatically remunerating the service provider via the at least one processor circuit for performing the at least one task, wherein automatically remunerating the service provider occurs responsive to determining that the verification information was generated at the geo-coordinates corresponding to the location where the task was to be performed.
