Application: Delivery agent network management (Patent ID: US20240193507A1)
The patent filed by DoorDash Inc. describes a system that uses a computational model to predict individual merchants likely to receive orders in the future. The system then determines the locations of delivery agents and selects an agent to move to a specific location for picking up the predicted order. A message is sent to the selected agent instructing them to move to the location. The system also considers factors like past order information, predicted order preparation times, and the number of orders to be received by each merchant.
The system further includes operations for determining the location for the selected delivery agent based on geographic distribution, receiving geolocation information periodically from delivery agent devices, and sending communications to inactive agents to become active based on the number of orders predicted. Additionally, the system can predict orders for future time periods, compare the number of active agents with predicted orders, and send messages to inactive agents for activation. The computational model used in the system can also consider weather information and event information for predicting orders.
