SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF FLEXIBLY ACTIVATING TEMPORARY ATTENDED DELIVERY/PICKUP LOCATIONS

摘要

A system and method for activating temporary attended delivery/pickup locations is described. The system receives a desired area for a temporary attended delivery/pickup location (e.g., near a event). The system then receives location information associated with one or more inactive temporary attended delivery/pickup locations. The system, in various embodiments, determines that at least one inactive temporary attended delivery/pickup location is in and/or near the desired area. The system then, in a particular embodiment, notifies a user that the inactive temporary attended delivery/pickup location is in and/or near the desired area. In various embodiments, the system receives a request to activate the temporary attended delivery/pickup location and, at least partially in response to receiving the request, activates the at least one inactive temporary attended delivery/pickup location.

主权项

1. A computer system comprising:
at least one processor, wherein the computer system is configured for:
(A) receiving desired area information, wherein the desired area information comprises information associated with a particular area where at least one attended delivery/pickup location is desired;(B) receiving information associated with a temporary particular attended delivery/pickup location, wherein the information associated with the temporary particular attended delivery/pickup location comprises:
i) a geographic location associated with the temporary particular attended delivery/pickup location; andii) an indication that the temporary particular attended delivery/pickup location is inactive;(C) determining that the temporary particular attended delivery/pickup location is located near the particular area based at least in part on the geographic location associated with the temporary particular attended delivery/pickup location;(D) transmitting a notification to a client device, wherein the notification comprises:
i) an indication that the temporary particular attended delivery/pickup location is located near the desired area; andii) an indication that the temporary particular attended delivery/pickup location is inactive;(E) at least partially in response to transmitting the notification to the client device, receiving a request to activate the temporary particular attended delivery/pickup location;(F) at least partially in response to receiving the request to activate the at least one attended delivery/pickup location, facilitating activation of the temporary particular attended delivery/pickup location.
