Abstract

Systems and methods according to one or more embodiments provide an option for conducting fast transactions in connection with one or more desired items. In one embodiment, a system comprises one or more processors; and one or more memories adapted to store a plurality of machine-readable instructions which when executed by the processor(s) cause the system to: receive information from a user about an intent to conduct a transaction; determine a current location of the user; determine one or more seller locations near the current location of the user; and provide time delay information to the user for the one or more seller locations.

Claims (34)

1 . A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories in communication with the one or more processors and adapted to store a plurality of machine-readable instructions which when executed by the one or more processors are adapted to cause the system to:

receive information from a user about an intent to conduct a transaction;

determine a current location of the user;

determine one or more seller locations near the current location of the user; and

provide time delay information to the user for the one or more seller locations.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the information from the user about an intent to conduct a transaction further comprises information about an item for purchase.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the information from the user about an intent to conduct a transaction further comprises information about a type of seller.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of machine-readable instructions are further adapted to cause the system to provide the user information about travel times for at least one of the seller locations.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the information about travel times is based, at least in part, on a distance from the user to a seller location and a time period of travel.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of machine-readable instructions are further adapted to cause the system to provide the user information about a seller with a fastest transaction time.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the fastest transaction time is based on an estimated time to arrive at a seller location and an estimated wait time to check out at the seller location.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the estimated wait time is based on historical data for the seller location from similar days and/or times.

9 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the estimated wait time is based on current data provided from the seller location.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the current data is provided by one or more customers.

11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the current data is provided by a seller.

12 . A method comprising:

receiving, electronically by a processor, information from a user about an intent to conduct a transaction;

determining, electronically by the processor, a current location of the user;

determining, electronically by the processor, one or more seller locations near the current location of the user; and

providing, electronically by the processor, time delay information to the user for the one or more seller locations.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the information from the user about an intent to conduct a transaction further comprises information about an item for purchase and/or information about a type of seller.

14 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising providing the user information about travel times for at least one of the seller locations.

15 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the information about travel times is based, at least in part, on a distance from the user to a seller location and a time period of travel.

16 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising providing the user information about a seller with a fastest transaction time.

17 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the fastest transaction time is based on an estimated time to arrive at a seller location and an estimated wait time to check out at the seller location.

18 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the estimated wait time is based on historical data for the seller location from similar days and/or times.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the estimated wait time is based on current data provided from the seller location.

20 . A non-transitory computer readable medium on which are stored computer readable instructions and, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

receive information from a user about an intent to conduct a transaction;

determine a current location of the user;

determine one or more seller locations near the current location of the user; and

provide time delay information to the user for the one or more seller locations.
