Abstract
A method and apparatus for a route calculation engine is described. The method of calculating a route to a resource comprises identifying a plurality of locations at which the resource may be available and creating an optimal route through the plurality of locations, the route assuring that the resource will be found regardless of availability at any one location.
Claims36
A method of calculating a route to a resource, the method comprising:
- identifying a plurality of locations at which the resource may be available;
- creating an optimal route through the plurality of locations, the route assuring that the resource will be found regardless of availability at any one location.
A an apparatus to implement a route calculation engine comprising:
- a location fetching logic to identify a plurality of locations at which the resource may be available;
- an route calculation logic to create an optimal route through the plurality of locations, the route assuring that the resource will be found regardless of availability at any one location.
A machine readable medium having stored thereon data representing sequences of instructions, which when executed by a computer system, cause said computer system to calculate a route to a resource, by performing the steps of:
- identifying a plurality of locations at which the resource may be available;
- creating a route through the plurality of locations, the route assuring that the resource will be found regardless of availability at any one location.
A system comprising:
- a server to receive the request from the user system, the server including a route calculation engine comprising:
- a location fetching logic to identify a plurality of locations at which the resource may be available;
- and
- an route calculation logic to create an optimal route through the plurality of locations, the route assuring that the resource will be found regardless of availability at any one location.
A route calculation engine comprising:
- a means to receive a resource request from a user;
- an locating means to identify a plurality of locations at which the resource may be available;
- a means to create an optimal route through the plurality of locations, the route assuring that the resource will be found regardless of availability at any one location.
