  • Publication number: 20180336610
    Abstract: A method and system for scheduled breaks are described. A network computer system receives provider data corresponding to a request to initiate a pause state with the network service and also receives a position of the service provider from a computing device equipped with a location-based resource. In response to receiving the request, the network computer system selects a facility, based on a selection objective, from facilities that are associated with the pause state and at least one of the position of the service provider and a destination of a service task that is to be completed. The network computer system transmits data corresponding to the selected facility to the computing device to be displayed on a user interface of the computing device.

  • Patent number: 9949088
    Abstract: A method and system for scheduled breaks are described. A network computer system receives provider data corresponding to a position of a computing device of a service provider. The system determines a service state of the provider between an open state, an occupied state, and a pause state, indicating the provider is unavailable for a remaining duration of time. In response to receiving a service request specifying a service location and a determination that the provider is in the pause state, the system estimates a time of arrival at the service location based at least on the remaining duration of time for the pause state and the position of the computing device. Based on the estimated time of arrival, the system selects the provider to fulfill the service request and transmits data corresponding to the service request to the computing device of the service provider.

  • Publication number: 20150059074
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for housing a dye tablet that is capable of acting as a visual warning device to liquid overflow in liquid containers, particularly toilet cisterns. The device may be affixed to the overflow pipe by means of a clip attachment or through integration with the overflow pipe upon creation. The device contains apertures to allow liquid to enter the compartment housing the dye tablet whereby the dye particles become immersed in the liquid. The highly colourised liquid is highly noticeable as it exits the overflow pipe and thus gives warning of a system malfunction.
