Abstract
An apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The processor receives, from a transporter device, an indication of a problem associated with locating a destination site associated with the first user device. In response to receiving the indication, the processor requests the geocoordinates of the first user device. The processor confirms that a second user device is located proximate the destination site, wherein the first user device requests the geocoordinates of the second user device in response to a determination that the first user device is not located proximate the destination site. The processor receives the geocoordinates of the second user device, and communicates, to the transporter device, the geocoordinates of the second user device.
Claims19
One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed by a processor to:
- receive a request for a geocoordinate of a first user device;
- determine, in response to receiving the request, that the first user device is not located at a destination site;
- and
- in response to the determination that the first user device is not located at the destination site, forward the request to a second user device, wherein a geocoordinate of the second user device is communicated to a delivery device to resolve a problem locating the destination site.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, notice of a problem with finding a location;
- requesting, from a first user device, geocoordinates associated with the location;
- receiving, from a second user device, the geocoordinates associated with the location, wherein the first user device requested the geocoordinates associated with the location from the second user device;
- and
- communicating the geocoordinates of the location to a transporter device.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and operable to:
- receive, from a transporter device, an indication of a problem associated with locating a destination site associated with the first user device;
- in response to receiving the indication, request the geocoordinates of the first user device;
- confirm that a second user device is located proximate the destination site, wherein the first user device requests the geocoordinates of the second user device in response to a determination that the first user device is not located proximate the destination site;
- receive the geocoordinates of the second user device;
- and
- communicate, to the transporter device, the geocoordinates of the second user device.
