An order is received indicating a network service model. A context of the order is identified. A deployment plan is generated using the network service model, the deployment plan facilitating an instantiation of a contextually-motivated network service instance as a set of normalized lifecycle management (LCM) operations performed against each of a plurality of associated service entities. The deployment plan is deployed, the deploying including binding each of the normalized LCM operations, based on the context of the order, to one or more respective micro-capabilities, each of the respective micro-capabilities having previously been onboarded to the system as one or more corresponding modeled objects capable of being declaratively composed, each of the corresponding modeled objects including a mapping of object properties, object behaviors, and standard LCM operations to one or more existing micro-capabilities of the system. The deploying also including managing execution of the one or more respective micro-capabilities and associated resources, associated storage, and associated network and service allocation and configuration, to instantiate the contextually-motivated network service instance.

A product transfer enclosure comprising: a back door assembly; a front door assembly; an electronics module comprising a communication chip for enabling data communication over a network; and a display screen, coupled to the front door, for displaying dynamic messages based on the data communication.

Described herein is a system and techniques for implementing a single mechanism that, when activated, provides multiple shopping cart previews for different resource providers generated based on a list of items which is customized according to the user that activated the mechanism. In some embodiments, a list of item types may be received by the system from the user including item types. The system may identify a number of potential items for each of the item types in the list of item types available at each resource provider. The user may then be provided with a shopping cart preview with the list of items from each resource provider. In some embodiments, the user may be provided with the ability to complete a transaction for one or more of the shopping cart previews.

At least one computer-readable medium on which are stored instructions that, when executed by one or more processing devices, enable the one or more processing devices to perform a method. The method includes the steps of providing a contact number accessible to a short service message service (SMS), receiving from a user via the contact number an SMS request for a business transaction, sorting the request according to a characteristic of the request, based on the characteristic, choosing a transaction fulfillment entity to which to route the request, receiving from the transaction fulfillment entity a response to the request, and transmitting the response to the user via SMS.

The disclosure relates to a computer-based system for managing just-in-time preparation and delivery of food products. In the system, customers can build, place, and pay for their order. Once the order is placed, the system will track the users location, only starting to prepare their food when the customer is within a specific proximity to the retail location. The proximity will be dynamic and expand and contract with the customer's movements. Finally, the system will coordinate the preparation, assembly and packaging of the order to provide just-in-time delivery of the customer's order, thereby reducing food waste and enhancing the freshness and taste of the product delivered to improve the customer experience.

A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computing system for receiving a query for a health-related product from a user; processing the query to identify providers from which the health-related product may be purchased; and rendering a multi-item result set for the user, wherein each item in the multi-item result set is associated with a provider name, a health-related product cost and a geographic proximity between the user and the provider.

A computer-implemented method, comprising receiving an order associated with a user, and capturing information associated with a physical attribute of the user; for the order being completed, performing a matching operation on the physical attribute of the user and information associated with a region of the user that includes the physical attribute of the user and respective physical attributes of other users, to determine a closest match; and generating an output that identifies the user associated with the closest match in the information associated with the region of the user, and providing the output to a server to deliver the order to the user.

Exemplary system and method embodiments described and shown herein are directed to optimizing warehouse picking operations. Exemplary system and method embodiments employ order allocation optimization and/or order grouping optimization that are individually or collectively usable to allocate and group warehouse orders in a manner that minimizes picker travel and maximizes labor productivity.

Order information for an order representing an electronic transaction in the distributed order system for a product or a service is received by one or more processors over a network. A unique order ID and order content based on the received order information are generated. An order vector for the order is created based on the order content. The order is added to an order cluster based on a similarity between the created order vector and a representative order vector corresponding to a representative order in the order cluster. The representative order vector corresponding to the representative order in the order cluster is analyzed to determine if the representative order is malicious. A determination is made as to whether the representative order is malicious. If the representative order is malicious, then malicious order processing is performed on the orders in the order cluster.

An electronic transmission method, device and system, and computer readable storage medium are provided. The electronic transmission method includes: receiving a first instruction for a target electronic file; after receiving the first instruction, dispatching the target electronic file from a first storage location on which it is stored currently to a second storage location, the network connectivity between the second storage location and a target terminal being better than the network connectivity between the first storage location and the target terminal; after receiving a second instruction for the target electronic file, transmitting the target electronic file from the second storage location to the target terminal. This method ensures that it will not be difficult for the target terminal to acquire the target electronic file in time due to poor network connectivity, which in turn improves the online transaction efficiency of electronic files.
