COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING ON-DEMAND REMOTE SHOPPING

摘要

A computer program product, system, and computer-implemented method for brokering an online transaction between a consumer and a provider of a consumer good. The method includes creation of an item request, an acceptance of the item request by one or more providers and/or consumers, and accepting a delivery confirmation of a consumer good into computer-readable memory. Consumers and providers may be matched together using a matching algorithm. An available pool of providers is determined to perform a requested delivery based at least in part on proximity of the delivery location of the consumer to the final destination of the provider, and the given time range. The available pool of providers may be adjusted to include only providers satisfying a consumer selection criteria.
