Programmatically allocating venue capacity based on distancing requirements

A method for automatically allocating physical units of a physical space comprising a plurality of physical units arranged according to a fixed arrangement, the method comprising:

• receiving, using a processor and from a first computing device, an allocation request, the allocation request comprising a physical space identifier, a physical unit quantity, and a physical unit arrangement type;
• retrieving, using the processor, from a physical space repository and based on a physical unit allocation regulation associated with the physical space identifier, a plurality of possible physical unit allocation subsets matching the allocation request;
• transmitting, using the processor and to the first computing device, a physical unit allocation interface comprising one or more possible physical unit allocation subsets of the plurality of possible physical unit allocation subsets;
• and
• transforming, using the processor, in the physical space repository and based on a physical unit allocation subset selection received from the first computing device, available physical units associated with the physical space identifier to unavailable physical units, wherein the unavailable physical units comprise first physical units allocated for physical use by a physical being as well as second physical units allocated to remain unused by physical beings according to the physical unit allocation regulation.

A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, with a processor, cause an apparatus to:

• receive, from a first computing device, an allocation request, the allocation request comprising a physical space identifier, a physical unit quantity, and a physical unit arrangement type;
• retrieve, from a physical space repository and based on a physical unit allocation regulation associated with the physical space identifier, a plurality of possible physical unit allocation subsets matching the allocation request;
• transmit, to the first computing device, a physical unit allocation interface comprising one or more possible physical unit allocation subsets of the plurality of possible physical unit allocation subsets;
• and
• transform, in the physical space repository and based on a physical unit allocation subset selection received from the first computing device, available physical units associated with the physical space identifier to unavailable physical units, wherein the unavailable physical units comprise first physical units allocated for physical use by a physical being as well as second physical units allocated to remain unused by physical beings according to the physical unit allocation regulation.
