The online concierge system scores each of these candidate sets, and selects a set of task batches to assign to pickers based on the scores. Additionally, to determine which task UI to display to the picker, the picker client device uses a UI state machine. The UI state machine is a state machine where each state corresponds to a task UI to display on the picker client device. The state transitions between the UI states of the UI state machine indicate which UI state to transition to from a current UI state based on the next task unit in the received task batch.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Krishna Kumar Selvam, Joseph Cohen, Tahmid Sharjar, Neel Sarwal, Darren Johnson, Nicholas Rose, Ajay Pankaj Sampat, Joey Dong
