RESOURCE ALLOCATION METHODS AND APPARATUS

摘要

A system, method and non-transitory computer-readable medium of instructions for provisioning resources employ a server. The server is configured to receive from a client device a request for a particular resource involving human manipulation of audio and/or visual information. The request includes resource information pertaining to a type of the resource, a date/time at which the resource is needed, and a location where the resource is needed. The server is further configured to evaluate respective criteria associated with each respective one of a plurality of potentially available resources to select one of the potentially available resources as a selected resource based on the respective criteria, send a client notification to the client device identifying the selected resource, and send to a device associated with the selected resource a resource notification indicating that the selected resource is selected as the particular resource.
