GEOFENCING TO REDUCE WAIT TIMES FOR ORDER PICKUPS

Absstract of: US2025315783A1

A system reduces user wait times for order pickup by dynamically managing geofences based on user location and historical data. The system receives an order and route-based location data from a user device, and determines a personalized outer geofence using the user's estimated arrival time and a runner's estimated retrieval time, incorporating historical wait time data. An inner geofence is established near the pickup location. When the user enters the outer geofence, a notification is sent to a runner client device indicating the user is en route. Upon the user entering the inner geofence, the system initiates a wait time measurement, which ends upon confirmation of order pickup. The system calculates the user's wait time based on timestamps associated with these events. This computed wait time is then used to determine an outer geofence for a second user, allowing continuous geofence optimization based on evolving user and location data.

Using a Trained Model of an Online System to Generate Action Recommendations by Predicting Future Demand

Absstract of: US2025315781A1

A trained model of an online system is used to generate action recommendations by predicting future demands. The online system gathers in-store data by receiving, from a device of a picker and/or a computing system of an in-store physical receptacle, data with information about an inventory of an item.
