System and method for providing dynamic supply positioning for on-demand services
First Claim
1. A system for providing service information for an on-demand service, the system comprising:
- one or more processors; and
one or more memory resources storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to;
receive user information from a plurality of user devices in a geographic region, the user information generated from a service application running on each of the plurality of user devices and including (i) a location of the user device, (ii) a first indication that a respective user operating the user device launched the service application within a given window of time, and (iii) a second indication of whether the respective user has made a request for service;
during the given window of time, for each of multiple sub-regions of the geographic region, determine, based on the location, the first indication, and the second indication included with the user information received from the plurality of user devices, a number of potential requesting user devices located within that sub-region on which the service application is running without a corresponding request for service having been made from that user device;
for the given window of time, determine one or more undersupplied sub-regions of the multiple sub-regions based at least in part on the number of potential requesting devices for the one or more undersupplied sub-regions; and
communicate, to one or more provider devices of providers within the geographic region, data to display a visual indicator identifying the one or more undersupplied sub-regions for the given window of time.

Abstract
A method for providing on-demand service information is provided. One or more processors determine, for a given geographic region, position information for each of a plurality of requesters for an on-demand service and position information for each of a plurality of service providers that can provide the on-demand service. A plurality of sub-regions is identified for the given geographic region. Based, at least in part, on the position information of the requesters and the service providers, one or more sub-regions are determined as being under-supplied by the plurality of service providers as compared to one or more other sub-regions. Information identifying the under-supplied sub-regions are provided to one or more service provider devices.

14. A method for providing information for an on-demand service, the method being performed by one or more processors and comprising:
-
receiving user information from a plurality of user devices in a geographic region, the user information generated from a service application running on each of the plurality of user devices and including (i) a location of the user device, (ii) a first indication that a respective user operating the user device launched the service application within a given window of time, and (iii) a second indication of whether the respective user has made a request for service; during the given window of time, for each of multiple sub-regions of the geographic region, determining, based on the location, the first indication, and the second indication included with the user information received from the plurality of user devices, a number of potential requesting user devices located within that sub-region on which the service application is running without a corresponding request for service having been made from that user device; for the given window of time, determining one or more undersupplied sub-regions of the multiple sub-regions based at least in part on the number of potential requesting devices for the one or more undersupplied sub-regions; and communicating, to one or more provider devices of providers within the geographic region, data to display a visual indicator identifying the one or more undersupplied sub-regions for the given window of time. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions, executable by one or more processors, to cause the one or more processors to perform operations that comprise:
-
receiving user information from a plurality of user devices in a geographic region, the user information generated from a service application running on each of the plurality of user devices and including (i) a location of the user device, (ii) a first indication that a respective user operating the user device launched the service application within a given window of time, and (iii) a second indication of whether the respective user has made a request for service; during the given window of time, for each of multiple sub-regions of the geographic region, determining, based on the location, the first indication, and the second indication included with the user information received from the plurality of user devices, a number of potential requesting user devices located within that sub-region on which the service application is running without a corresponding request for service having been made from that user device; for the given window of time, determining one or more undersupplied sub-regions of the multiple sub-regions based at least in part on the number of potential requesting devices for the one or more undersupplied sub-regions; and communicating, to one or more provider devices of providers within the geographic region, data to display a visual indicator identifying the one or more undersupplied sub-regions for the given window of time.
