  • Delivery confirmation using overlapping geo-fences
    Patent number: 10445685
    Abstract: Disclosed are approaches for using overlapping geo-fences to confirm delivery of a shipment. A first client computing device and a second client computing device may be in data communication with a server computing device. The server computing device may receive a delivery notification from the first client computing device. The server computing device may receive a first position of the first client computing device and a second position of the second client computing device. The server computing device may then determine that the second position is within a threshold distance of the first position or vice versa. Finally, the server computing device may generate a delivery confirmation in response to a first determination that the second position is within a threshold distance of the first position and a second determination that the first position is within a threshold distance of the second position.

  • Delivery confirmation using overlapping geo-fences
    Patent number: 9699606
    Abstract: Disclosed are approaches for using overlapping geo-fences to confirm delivery of a shipment. A first client computing device and a second client computing device may be in data communication with a server computing device. The server computing device may receive a delivery notification from the first client computing device. The server computing device may receive from the first client computing device a first position and a second position from the second client computing device. The server computing device may then determine that the second position is within a predefined distance of the first position or vice versa. Finally, the server computing device may generate a delivery confirmation in response to a first determination that the second position is within a predefined distance of the first position and a second determination that the first position is within a predefined distance of the second position.
