Systems and methods for geofencing for service availability and dynamic profit calculation

A computer-implemented method for managing a printing service, the computer-implemented method performed in connection with a computerized system comprising:

• a network-connected printer disposed on a local area network, a cloud-based printing service comprising a printing queue holding at least one print job, a service provider smart device comprising a first processing unit, a first memory and a display, a network-connected appliance device disposed on the local area network and communicatively coupled with the network-connected printer, the network-connected appliance device comprising a second processing unit and a second memory, and a printing service user smart device separate and distinct from the service provider smart device, the computer-implemented method comprising:
• a. determining, by the network-connected appliance device, a status of the network-connected printer, connect to the cloud-based printing service and communicate the determined status of the network-connected printer to the cloud-based printing service;
• b. generating, by the service provider smart device, a graphical user interface on the display and receiving, using the generated graphical user interface, a printing service information comprising at least one characteristic of the printing service from a service provider;
• c. communicating the received printing service information to the cloud-based printing service,
• d. receiving, by the printing service user smart device, the printing service information from the cloud-based printing service;
• and
• e. displaying, by the printing service user smart device, at least a portion of the printing service information to a user of the printing service.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a set of computer-executable instructions, which, when executed in connection with a computerized system comprising:

• a network-connected printer disposed on a local area network, a cloud-based printing service comprising a printing queue holding at least one print job, a service provider smart device comprising a first processing unit, a first memory and a display, a network-connected appliance device disposed on the local area network and communicatively coupled with the network-connected printer, the network-connected appliance device comprising a second processing unit and a second memory, and a printing service user smart device separate and distinct from the service provider smart device, cause the computerized system to perform a method for managing a printing service, the method comprising:
• a. determining, by the network-connected appliance device, a status of the network-connected printer, connect to the cloud-based printing service and communicate the determined status of the network-connected printer to the cloud-based printing service;
• b. generating, by the service provider smart device, a graphical user interface on the display and receiving, using the generated graphical user interface, a printing service information comprising at least one characteristic of the printing service from a service provider;
• c. communicating the received printing service information to the cloud-based printing service,
• d. receiving, by the printing service user smart device, the printing service information from the cloud-based printing service;
• and
• e. displaying, by the printing service user smart device, at least a portion of the printing service information to a user of the printing service.
