Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a dynamic resource management system. In various examples, a dynamic resource management system enables resource-consuming tasks to be assigned to resources at least according to resource profiles and resource groupings. Resources may include primary resources and secondary resources and may be grouped into resource groups such that each resource group have a selection of primary resources and secondary resources. In some instances, resource groups may be updated to have updated selections of primary resources and secondary resources. To assign tasks to resources, the dynamic resource management system may first identify multiple resource-consuming tasks associated with a resource-consuming event then assign each resource-consuming task to a resource. The task assignment may be performed based on resource information such as availability, performance, and/or experience.

Claims19

Dependent claims

A system for dynamic resource management comprising:

at least one processor;
and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the system to perform a set of operations, the set of operations comprising:
receiving, from a computing device of a user, a submission of a task request, the submission comprising event information;
processing, by the system, the received task request to determine a resource-consuming event associated with the task request;
processing the resource-consuming event to generate a set of resource-consuming tasks based on an association between a type of the resource-consuming event and the set of resource-consuming tasks, wherein each task of the resource-consuming tasks has an associated set of criteria;
and
assigning the resource-consuming event to a resource group of the system, the assigning comprising:
determining a designated primary resource from an event record associated with the user, the determining based at least in part on receiving an availability indication from a first resource computing device of the designated primary resource;
selecting the resource group from a resource repository based on the designated primary resource having membership of the resource group, wherein the resource group comprises a first selection of primary resources and a second selection of secondary resources;
generating, to the first resource computing device of the designated primary resource, a request indicating a first task from the generated set of resource-consuming tasks, thereby initiating task performance of the first task by the designated primary resource via the first resource computing device and overriding a default task assignment for the first task;
and
generating, to a second resource computing device of a secondary resource of the selected resource group, a request indicating a second task from the generated set of resource-consuming tasks, thereby initiating task performance of the second task by the second resource computing device according to a default task assignment for the second task.

10 more elements

A method for dynamic resource management comprising:

obtaining and storing a set of resource profiles in a resource repository;
obtaining and storing a resource group having a first selection of primary resources and a first selection of secondary resources assigned thereto;
processing user activity from a computing device of a user of the platform to identify a resource-consuming event associated with the user;
processing the identified resource-consuming event to generate a set of resource-consuming tasks, wherein the set of resource-consuming tasks is associated with a type of the resource-consuming event;
assigning the resource-consuming event to the resource group, the assigning comprising:
identifying a designated primary resource from an event record, the identifying based at least in part on receiving an availability indication from a first resource computing device of the designated primary resource;
and
determining that the designated primary resource is one of the resources of the resource group;
and
assigning each resource-consuming task to a primary resource or a secondary resource of the resource group, the assigning comprising providing a task assignment indication to a respective computing device associated with the resource group to initiate performance of the resource-consuming task in response to receipt of the task assignment indication by the respective computing device, wherein a first task of the set of resource-consuming tasks is assigned to the first resource computing device, thereby overriding a default task assignment for the first task.
