Abstract

Systems and methods to arrange transactions are described. A transaction request may be received from transaction parties. The transaction request may include transaction data. Geographic region data associated with the transaction parties using the transaction data may be retrieved. A mutual geographic region based on the geographic region data may be determined. Suggested transaction locations based on the mutual geographic region may be determined. The suggested transaction locations may be recommended to the transaction parties.

Claims (63)

1 . A system, comprising:

a processor;

a transaction arrangement module executable by the processor and configured to:

receive a transaction request from a first transaction party, the transaction request includes transaction data that is associated with transaction parties that include the first transaction party;

retrieve geographic region data associated with the transaction parties that use the transaction data;

determine a mutual geographic region based on the geographic region data;

determine suggested transaction locations based on the mutual geographic region; and

recommend the suggested transaction locations to the transaction parties.

2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the transaction arrangement module further configured to store a transaction location selection in a database, to be used in additional analysis by the transaction arrangement module in the future.

3 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the transaction arrangement module further configured to:

retrieve suggested transaction location data based on the mutual geographic region from at least one application server; and

determine suggested transaction locations based on the mutual geographic region based on an analysis of the suggested transaction location data.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the suggested transaction location data includes prior transaction location selections associated with the transaction parties.

5 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the suggested transaction location data includes prior transaction location selections associated with a plurality of other transaction parties.

6 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the transaction arrangement module further configured to:

retrieve party verification data associated with the transaction parties using the transaction data; and

the transaction arrangement module further configured to present the party verification data to the transaction parties.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the party verification data includes party images; and

the transaction arrangement module further configured to perform verification of the party images.

8 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the party verification data is required to perform transaction arrangement.

9 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the transaction arrangement module further configured to:

retrieve item verification data associated with the transaction data; and

present the item verification data to the transaction parties.

10 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the transaction arrangement module further configured to:

retrieve scheduling data associated with the transaction parties using the transaction data;

determine a mutually available schedule based on the scheduling data; and

recommend the mutually available schedule to the transaction parties.

11 . A method, comprising:

receiving a transaction request from a first transaction party, the transaction request including transaction data that is associated with transaction parties that include the first transaction party;

retrieving geographic region data associated with the transaction parties using the transaction data;

determining a mutual geographic region based on the geographic region data;

determining suggested transaction locations based on the mutual geographic region; and

recommending the suggested transaction locations to the transaction parties.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

storing a transaction location selection in a database, to be used in additional analysis in the future.

13 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

retrieving suggested transaction location data based on the mutual geographic region from at least one application server; and

determining suggested transaction locations based on the mutual geographic region based on an analysis of the suggested transaction location data.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the suggested transaction location data includes prior transaction location selections associated with the transaction parties.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the suggested transaction location data includes prior transaction location selections associated with a plurality of other transaction parties.

16 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

retrieving party verification data associated with the transaction parties using the transaction data; and

presenting the party verification data to the transaction parties.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the party verification data includes party images; and

performing verification of the party images.

18 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

retrieving item verification data associated with the transaction data; and

presenting the item verification data to the transaction parties.

19 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

retrieving scheduling data associated with the transaction parties using the transaction data;

determining a mutually available schedule based on the scheduling data; and

recommending the mutually available schedule to the transaction parties.

20 . A non-transitory machine readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

receive a transaction request from a first transaction party, the transaction request including transaction data that is associated with transaction parties that include the first transaction party;

retrieve geographic region data associated with the transaction parties that use the transaction data;

determine a mutual geographic region based on the geographic region data;

determine suggested transaction locations based on the mutual geographic region; and

recommend the suggested transaction locations to the transaction parties.
