  • AUTOMATIC ASSIGNMENT OF LOCATIONS TO MOBILE UNITS VIA A BACK-END APPLICATION COMPUTER SERVER
    Publication number: 20230039044
    Abstract: A back-end application computer server may access a location data store containing information about a set of locations to be visited, including location identifiers and location coordinates. The computer server may then prioritize the locations to be visited. A mobile unit data store may contain information about a set of mobile units, including mobile unit identifiers, mobile unit location coordinates, and mobile unit communication addresses. The computer server may then automatically assign each location to a mobile unit based on the location coordinates, the mobile unit location coordinates, at least one geo-fence, and said prioritization. Indications of assigned locations may be transmitted to each mobile unit via the associated mobile unit communication address, and electronic messages may be exchanged to support an interactive user interface display associated with assignments of locations to mobile units.
