Queue and reservation management system

This is a system for managing virtual queues, like for a restaurant or doctor's office. It works by using your phone's location to figure out how long it will take you to arrive at the service location, and then places you in line. You can also ask to be placed in the queue at a later time if you need to reschedule.

Why it matters: Filed before real-time traffic and predictive arrival algorithms were as robust. The claims cover dynamically placing a user in a queue based on their estimated travel time, which is now far more accurate and reliable.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, location services integration.
