Facilitating performance of submitted tasks by mobile task performers

A computer-implemented method for facilitating performance of tasks by mobile task performers, the method comprising:

• receiving information from a task requester about an indicated task that is available to be performed by one or more human task performers, the indicated task being associated with one or more geographic locations and having one or more associated criteria related to performance of the indicated task;
• automatically identifying at least one of multiple possible human task performers for the indicated task, the automatic identifying being performed by a configured computing system and including:
• determining current geographic locations of the at least one human task performers, one or more of the at least one human task performers being mobile task performers whose current locations change as the mobile task performers move;
• determining that the current geographic locations of the at least one human task performers each correspond to at least one of the associated geographic locations for the indicated task;
• and
• determining that performance of the indicated task by the at least one human task performers would satisfy the one or more associated criteria for the indicated task;
• and
• after the automatic identifying, providing an indication of the indicated task to the identified human task performers to notify the identified human task performers of availability of the indicated task to enable one or more of the identified human task performers to perform the indicated task.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium whose contents configure a computing system to facilitate performance of tasks by mobile task performers, by performing a method comprising:

• receiving information from a task requester about an indicated task that is available to be performed by one or more human task performers, the indicated task being associated with one or more geographic locations and having one or more associated criteria related to performance of the indicated task;
• automatically identifying at least one of multiple possible human task performers for the indicated task, the automatic identifying being performed by the configured computing system and including:
• determining current geographic locations of the at least one human task performers, one or more of the at least one human task performers being mobile task performers whose current locations change as the mobile task performers move;
• determining that the current geographic locations of the at least one human task performers each correspond to at least one of the associated geographic locations for the indicated task;
• and
• determining that performance of the indicated task by the at least one human task performers would satisfy the one or more associated criteria for the indicated task;
• and
• after the automatic identifying, providing an indication of the indicated task to the identified human task performers to notify the identified human task performers of availability of the indicated task to enable one or more of the identified human task performers to perform the indicated task.

A computing system configured to facilitate performance of tasks by mobile task performers, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a first module that is configured to, when executed by the one or more processors, receive information from a task requester about an indicated task that is available to be performed by one or more human task performers, the indicated task being associated with one or more geographic locations and having one or more associated criteria related to performance of the indicated task;
• a second module that is configured to, when executed by the one or more processors, automatically identify at least one of multiple possible human task performers for the indicated task, the automatic identifying including:
• determining current geographic locations of the at least one human task performers, one or more of the at least one human task performers being mobile task performers whose current locations change as the mobile task performers move;
• determining that the current geographic locations of the at least one human task performers each correspond to at least one of the associated geographic locations for the indicated task;
• and
• determining that performance of the indicated task by the at least one human task performers would satisfy the one or more associated criteria for the indicated task;
• and
• a third module that is configured to, when executed by the one or more processors, provide an indication of the indicated task to the identified human task performers to notify the identified human task performers of availability of the indicated task to enable one or more of the identified human task performers to perform the indicated task.
