Abstract
Mobile device for communicating arrival information at a waypoint, communicating that information to a server, receiving a set of tasks (statically assigned or dynamically assigned) for the user (for example, from the server or from another user), displaying the set of tasks to the user, receiving a completion response (successful or unsuccessful) from the user, and proceeding to the next waypoint along a route/trip plan. A coordination server facilitates communication of a list of tasks assigned to a user to be performed at a specified location. Using the user's iris image for authenticating the user of a mobile device makes mobile task assignment, and other mobile activities more secure.
Claims24
A mobile device comprising:
- a processing circuitry, memory and storage;
- a global positioning system (GPS) receiver circuitry;
- an iris scanner;
- a client software, that is executed by the processing circuitry, conducting iris based identity check of a current user based on data collected by the iris scanner, and in response, selectively authorizing access to a tasks list;
- wherein the task list comprises a plurality of tasks to be completed by the user of the mobile device;
- the client software prompting the user to mark the status of each of the tasks in the task list as completed, skipped or deferred, wherein the client software records and reports the corresponding task status in a task completion response.
A server communicatively coupled to a first mobile device, the server comprising:
- at least one processor for communicating with the first mobile device, the at least one processor operable to, at least:
- receive several tasks for completion, along with a corresponding task sender identification;
- prompt the user of the first mobile device to provide at least one iris image;
- verify the identity of the user of the first mobile device based on the at least one iris image and then deliver to the first mobile device a task list comprising a plurality of tasks selected from the several tasks, after successful identification of the user of the first mobile device;
- and
- receive, process and store a task completion status for each of the plurality of tasks as they are reported by the first mobile device.
A first mobile device comprising:
- an iris scanner;
- a processor configured to execute and operate a client software, the client software capable of sending and receiving GPS based location information and retrieving a first task list;
- the client software configured to send an iris image of a user captured employing the iris scanner and communicating it to a coordinating server for user authentication, if necessary, prior to retrieving the first task list;
- the client software selectively presenting a payment notice to the user after receiving a task completion input from the user for the first task list.
The first mobile device of claim of 17 wherein the first task list comprises one or more of the following :
- monitoring and reporting activities, funds transfer activities, authorized payment activities on behalf of someone else, tasks requiring pickup of items, tasks requiring delivery of items, purchase of items, ride sharing, skills training, delivery of technical help, photo capture, video capture, turning on electronic equipment, turning off electronic equipment, a sales demonstration, security checks and premises cleanup.
The first mobile device of claim of 17 wherein the at least one of the tasks of the first task list comprises audio instructions.
The first mobile device of claim of 17 wherein the client software gathers a witness signature attesting to the completion of one or more of the tasks by the user of the first mobile device, wherein the witness signature is provided by a witness employing the first mobile device.
The first mobile device of claim of 17 wherein the client software monitors task completion skills of the user and adaptively modifies the first task list.
The first mobile device of claim of 17 wherein the client software schedules task completion for tasks on the first task list, and synchronizes task executions for some tasks on the first task list with other users.
