Patents by Inventor Edward Schmalzle

Edward Schmalzle has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11863463
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided to pair request data objects with network response assets and their related systems to allow for the efficient movement of network resources and other resources in high-volume network environments that feature distributed network response assets. In some example implementations, location information such as triangulated position information associated with one or more mobile devices, along with other system characteristics is used to identify optimized pairs of request objects and response assets, such that request parameters, such as position and time constraints, can be efficiently met.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 28, 2022
    Date of Patent: January 2, 2024
    Assignee: Groupon, Inc.

  • Publication number: 20230020404
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided to translate request data objects into ordered sequence of tasks to be performed by network response assets and related systems to allow for the efficient movement of network resources and other resources in high-volume network environments. In some example implementations, otherwise unrelated request data objects and related parameters are interleaved into an ordered sequence of tasks, and a renderable object associated therewith is provided to a user interface of a mobile system associated with a network response asset. Location information such as triangulated position information associated with one or more mobile devices, along with other system characteristics may be used to ascertain system status and otherwise effectuate request translation.
    Type: Application
