Using the single application, a user can create waiting list (lines) and control their management without the need for a separate non-portable computer controlling the device's information and transmitting it back to a portable electronic device. This allows information to be controlled from the portable electronic device directly and with other PED's and no central computer controllers or web portal needed. The services solved by this method and system can include, creating waiting list (lines), deleting waiting list (lines), shifting waiters, deleting waiters, changing wait times, and adjusting distance a person must be before they can be added to a line. This method also allows the user and waiting list creator to adjust the data real-time from a portable electronic device as their circumstances change.;Note: This patent is not for reservation based systems, and does not include reservations or queuing through terminals, kiosk, desktop based application control, or web portals. This patent is for a waiting list management application where all functions are controlled from a portable electronic device for the benefit of information gathering users who need more than one waiting list data when decision making. |
