Systems and methods for surprise object distribution

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing thereon instructions that, as a result of being executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
• receive a request to generate a surprise gift object, wherein the request includes identifying information associated with a recipient and defines one or more physical locations through which the surprise gift object is to be made available, and wherein the surprise gift object is associated with a set of gift options made available through the one or more physical locations;
• automatically engage one or more devices implemented on a recipient device to continuously obtain location data corresponding to the recipient device, wherein the location data is selected from a group consisting of Global Positioning System data, Internet Protocol (IP)-based geolocation data, Wi-Fi position data, and cellular trilateration data;
• continuously process, in real-time, the location data to detect recipient proximity to a physical location associated with the one or more physical locations;
• identify an initial inventory of the set of gift options available at the physical location, wherein the initial inventory is identified through an inventory tracking system associated with the physical location;
• update an interface associated with the recipient device to present a notification to indicate an availability of the surprise gift object and the set of gift options;
• dynamically monitor changes to the initial inventory as different recipients select different gift options from the set of gift options at the physical location and as the set of gift options is restocked at the physical location;
• update the interface as the changes to the initial inventory occur, wherein the interface is updated to provide an updated set of gift options available at the physical location;
• and
• detect selection of a gift option from the updated set of gift options through the physical location, wherein when the gift option is selected at the physical location, an indication that the surprise gift object has been delivered is provided.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing thereon executable instructions that, as a result of being executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• receive a request to generate a surprise gift object, wherein the request includes identifying information associated with a recipient and defines one or more physical locations through which the surprise gift object is to be made available, and wherein the surprise gift object is associated with a set of gift options made available through the one or more physical locations;
• automatically engage one or more devices implemented on a recipient device to continuously obtain location data corresponding to the recipient device, wherein the location data is selected from a group consisting of Global Positioning System data, Internet Protocol (IP)-based geolocation data, Wi-Fi position data, and cellular trilateration data;
• continuously process, in real-time, the location data to detect recipient proximity to a physical location associated with the one or more physical locations;
• identify an initial inventory of the set of gift options available at the physical location, wherein the initial inventory is identified through an inventory tracking system associated with the physical location;
• update an interface associated with the recipient device to present a notification to indicate an availability of the surprise gift object and the set of gift options;
• dynamically monitor changes to the initial inventory as different recipients select different gift options from the set of gift options at the physical location and as the set of gift options is restocked at the physical location;
• update the interface as the changes to the initial inventory occur, wherein the interface is updated to provide an updated set of gift options available at the physical location;
• and
• detect selection of a gift option from the updated set of gift options through the physical location, wherein when the gift selection option is selected at the physical location, an indication that the surprise gift object has been delivered is provided.
