VIRTUAL QUEUE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240202026 titled 'VIRTUAL QUEUE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes methods and machine-readable media related to a virtual queue system. Users can join the queue, receive estimated wait times, and the queue can be optimized based on this information.
- **Receiving user requests to join a virtual queue**
- **Adding users to the virtual queue**
- **Determining queue optimization based on estimated wait times**
- **Providing users with estimated wait times**
- **Updating the virtual queue**
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various industries such as retail, healthcare, entertainment, and transportation where queues are common.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the issue of managing and optimizing virtual queues to improve user experience and efficiency.
Benefits: The benefits of this technology include reducing user wait times, improving queue management, and enhancing overall customer satisfaction.
Commercial Applications: Title: Virtual Queue Management System This technology can be commercially used in theme parks, hospitals, airports, and retail stores to streamline queue management processes and enhance customer experience.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include research on queue management systems, virtual queuing methods, and customer experience optimization.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be conducting studies on the impact of virtual queues on customer satisfaction, the effectiveness of queue optimization algorithms, and the integration of virtual queue systems with other technologies.
Questions about Virtual Queue Management System: 1. How does the virtual queue system optimize wait times for users? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing a virtual queue system in different industries?
Original Abstract Submitted
methods and non-transitory machine-readable media associated with a virtual queue are described. a method can include receiving, by a processing resource, a request from a user to join a virtual queue, adding, by the processing resource, the user to the virtual queue, determining, by the processing resource, a queue optimization based on an estimated wait time for the user in the virtual queue, and providing to the user, by the processing resource, the queue optimization including the estimated wait time for the user in the virtual queue. the virtual queue can be updated in an example.
