  • Publication number: 20220261730
    Abstract: A network computing system to coordinate a completion time of at least a portion of an order request with a target completion time, where the target completion time reflects an estimated time of arrival for a transportation provider with respect to a location of the supplier. The network computing system can coordinate the completion time by determining a timing of when at least a step in the preparation of at least the portion of the order request is performed by the supplier, based on an estimated arrival time of a transport provider. The network computing system can perform one or more control actions to influence the target completion time, based on the determined timing.

  • Patent number: 10614713
    Abstract: A computer system can receive, from a mobile device of a user, a set of data that specifies a location of a second user as a destination location, wherein the second user is associated with a contact record. Subsequent to receiving the set of data, the computer system can receive, from a mobile device of the second user, location information indicating a current location of the second user, and configure the destination location of a service request of the user to correspond to the current location of the second user. The computer system may then transmit, to a mobile device of a service provider assigned to fulfill the service request, a second set of data associated with the service request, the second set of data including location data corresponding to a pick-up location of the user and location data corresponding to the configured destination location.

  • Patent number: 10242574
    Abstract: According to some examples, a network computer system is provided to perform a first process to authorize a service request using a contact identifier, and to perform a second process to obtain a service parameter for addressing a service provider to a contact. Upon completion of the first process, the network computer system provides a service graphical interface for display on a mobile device of the user. The service graphical interface may display dynamic information that is based on the service parameter.
