Each of the first node, the second node, and the third node may be wireless transceiver-based nodes and respectively implemented as integrated circuits.

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. The online system estimates, based on conversion data for the item, a level of inventory for the item. The trained model is then applied to predict, based on the in-store data and the estimated level of inventory, a demand prediction score indicative of a future demand for the item. The online system generates, based on the estimated level of inventory and the demand prediction score, a depletion metric indicative of a time period until the inventory of the item is depleted. Based on the depletion metric, the online system triggers an action in relation to the inventory of the item.
