  • Patent number: 11961133
    Abstract: A method of generating a user-interface to be displayed at a remote location may include receiving a search request for an item listing and retrieving a first listing and a second listing based on the search request, determining a similarity score between the first and second listings that is based on multiple properties common to the first and second listings, and generating instructions to be transmitted to a remote location to generate a user interface to be displayed at the remote location, the user interface including the first listing, the instructions excluding the second listing from a list of results displayed on the user interface based on the similarity score exceeding a threshold and the first listing including superior values in at least one of the plurality of properties common to the first and second listings. The method may also include transmitting the instructions to the remote location for display.

  • Publication number: 20230082138
    Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating and deploying fleets of autonomous in operational domains are described. A computing system may obtain data indicative of one or more capabilities of at least one autonomous vehicle, data indicative of vehicle service dynamics in an operational domain over a period of time, and determining a plurality of resource performance parameters respectively for a plurality of autonomous vehicle fleets associated with potential deployment in the operational domain. Each autonomous vehicle fleet can be associated with a different number of autonomous vehicles The resource performance parameter for each autonomous vehicle fleet can be based at least in part on the one or more capabilities of the at least one autonomous vehicle and the vehicle service dynamics in the operational domain. The computing system can initiate an action associated with the operational domain based at least in part on the plurality of resource performance parameters.

  • Publication number: 20160350680
    Abstract: A method of ticket assessment includes accessing historical transaction information and prices for available tickets for an upcoming event. The method includes calculating a historical ticket value for seats at a venue and a current ticket value and a deal score for the available tickets. The method includes receiving a preference that pertains to a ticket for the upcoming event. The method includes determining whether the available tickets include characteristics within the preference. If a first subset of the available tickets includes characteristics within the preference, the method includes communicating to the user device recommendation data including ticket listings for tickets in the first subset. The recommendation data is configurable in a window of a graphical user interface. If a second subset of the available tickets does not include characteristics within the preference, the method includes filtering the second subset of the available tickets from the recommendation data.

  • Publication number: 20160063436
    Abstract: A first delivery job is received and placed into a queue to be auctioned to couriers after a first period of time that is determined based on first delivery constraints of the first job. A second delivery job is received before the first period of time expires. The second job is placed into the queue to be auctioned after a second period of time that is determined based on second delivery constraints of the second job if it is determined that the first and second jobs cannot be performed by a single courier within the delivery constraints of both jobs. The jobs are auctioned to couriers as a single item after a third period of time that is determined based on the delivery constraints of both jobs if the first and second jobs may be performed by a single courier within the delivery constraints of both jobs.

  • Publication number: 20150294372
    Abstract: In some example embodiments, for each one of a plurality of advertisements, receiving a corresponding original bid for an online resource is received, with each one of the plurality of advertisements corresponding to a different advertiser. For each one of the plurality of advertisements, a corresponding handicap value is determined independent of the corresponding original bid. For each one of the plurality of advertisements, a corresponding effective bid for the online resource is determined based on the corresponding original bid and the corresponding handicap value. One of the plurality of advertisements is selected based on the effective bids of the plurality of advertisements. The selected one of the plurality of advertisements is assigned, in a database, to the online resource. The selected one of the plurality of advertisements is caused to be displayed on a computing device in response to a user-generated interrupt received from the computing device.
