Abstract
A network computing system can publish a collection of interactive items for a given geographical region. The network computing system can detect interactions with the interactive items by a population of users, where each interaction is associated with a location of the user, one or more food items identified for selection by the interaction, and one or more food preparation sources selected by the interaction. Additionally, the network computing system can determine an interest level for a food item or type at one or more sub-regions of the geographic region, based on at least a portion of the detected interactions.
Claims20
A network computing system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory to store a set of instructions;
- wherein the one or more processors access the instructions to:
- publish a collection of interactive menu items for a geographical region, each menu item including one or multiple food items that can be prepared by a corresponding food preparation source of the geographical region;
- detect a plurality of interactions with one or more menu items of the interactive menu items of the collection, wherein the plurality of interactions are by a population of users of the geographical region, and wherein each interaction is associated with a location of a respective user, one or more food items identified for selection by the interaction, and one or more food preparation sources selected by the interaction;
- determine, based on at least a portion of the plurality of interactions, an interest level for one or more food items or one or more food types at one or more sub-regions of the geographic region, wherein the one or more sub-regions are based at least in part on the location of the user that is associated with each interaction of the portion of the plurality interactions;
- and
- generate a content that indicates the interest level for the one or more food items or the one or more food types at one or more sub-regions of the geographic region.
The network computing system of claim 18, wherein the one or more processors generate the content to identify the given food item or given food type and the sub-region where the given food item or food type is undersupplied.
A method for providing interactive menus, the method being implemented by one or more processors of a network computing system and comprising:
- publishing a collection of interactive menu items for a geographical region, each menu item including one or multiple food items that can be prepared by a corresponding food preparation source of the geographical region;
- detecting a plurality of interactions with one or more menu items of the interactive menu items of the collection, wherein the plurality of interactions are by a population of users of the geographical region, and each interaction is associated with a location of a respective user, one or more food items identified for selection by the interaction, and one or more food preparation sources selected by the interaction;
- determining, based on at least a portion of the plurality of interactions, an interest level for one or more food items or one or more food types at one or more sub-regions of the geographic region, wherein the one or more sub-regions are based at least in part on the location of the user that is associated with each interaction of the portion of the plurality interactions;
- and
- generating a content that indicates the interest level for the one or more food items and/or the one or more food types at one or more sub-regions of the geographic region.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a network computing system, cause the network computing system to perform operations that include:
- publishing a collection of interactive menu items for a geographical region, each menu item including one or multiple food items that can be prepared by a corresponding food preparation source of the geographical region;
- detecting a plurality of interactions with one or more menu items of the interactive menu items of the collection, wherein the plurality of interactions are by a population of users of the geographical region, and wherein each interaction is associated with a location of a respective user, one or more food items identified for selection by the interaction, and one or more food preparation sources selected by the interaction;
- determining, based on at least a portion of the plurality of interactions, an interest level for one or more food items or one or more food types at one or more sub-regions of the geographic region, wherein the one or more sub-regions are based at least in part on the location of the user that is associated with each interaction of the portion of the plurality interactions;
- and
- generating a content that indicates the interest level for the one or more food items or the one or more food types at one or more sub-regions of the geographic region.
