Abstract

Systems and methods for facilitating shared access-right evaluation using linked communication channels are provided. A first communication can be received over a first communication link from a first user device, and a second communication can be received over a second communication link from a second user device. The first and second communications can include requests for the assignment of access rights. Map data can be generated and transmitted to each of the first and second user devices. Each user device can display a visual representation of access-right data. Further, a communication session can be facilitated between the first user device and the second user device. The communication session can be presented on the visual representation for each user device so that the first user and the second user can collaboratively evaluate access rights.

Claims (67)

1. A system comprising:

one or more processors;

a non-transitory medium storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

accessing map data representing a spatial area, the map data further representing a location of a first access right and a second access right within the spatial area, each of the first access right and the second access right granting access to the spatial area, and the map data indicating that the first access right and the second access right are each associated with one or more users;

displaying a user interface enabling a first user device to:

display at least part of a map corresponding to the map data;

receive input corresponding to a selection of the first access right, the input being received using the displayed map;

identify a first request to reassign the first access right;

identify a second user device, the second user device having previously submitted a second request to reassign the second access right, and the second request being indicated on the displayed map;

associate the first request with the second request such that reassignment of the first access right is enabled only upon the second request being granted; and

submit the first request associated with the second request;

determining whether the second request has been granted; and

upon determining that the second request has been accepted, enabling the first access right to be reassigned to the first user device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

determining whether the first request has been granted, wherein enabling the first access right to be reassigned to the first user device is conditioned upon the first request being granted.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

detecting that the first request for the first access right has been satisfied; and

reassigning the first access right to the first user device.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the displayed map enables users to submit requests associated with the first access right.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

identifying a third request from the first user device for the first access right, the first access right being assigned to a third user device, and the third request requesting reassignment of the first access right from the third user device to the first user device.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

conditioning the first request for the first access right on whether the second request for the second access right successfully results in assigning the second access right to the second user device.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein a communication session between the first user device and the second user device enables the first user device and the second user to collaboratively evaluate one or more access rights represented on the displayed map.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:

accessing map data representing a spatial area, the map data further representing a location of a first access right and a second access right within the spatial area, each of the first access right and the second access right granting access to the spatial area, and the map data indicating that the first access right and the second access right are each associated with one or more users;

displaying a user interface enabling a first user device to:

display at least part of a map corresponding to the map data;

receive input corresponding to a selection of the first access right, the input being received using the displayed map;

identify a first request to reassign the first access right;

identify a second user device, the second user device having previously submitted a second request to reassign the second access right, and the second request being indicated on the displayed map;

associate the first request with the second request such that reassignment of the first access right is enabled only upon the second request being granted; and

submit the first request associated with the second request;

determining whether the second request has been granted; and

upon determining that the second request has been accepted, enabling the first access right to be reassigned to the first user device.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:

determining whether the first request has been granted, wherein enabling the first access right to be reassigned to the first user device is conditioned upon the first request being granted.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:

detecting that the first request for the first access right has been satisfied; and

reassigning the first access right to the first user device.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the displayed map enables users to submit requests associated with the first access right.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:

identifying a third request from the first user device for the first access right, the first access right being assigned to a third user device, and the third request requesting reassignment of the first access right from the third user device to the first user device.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:

conditioning the first request for the first access right on whether the second request for the second access right successfully results in assigning the second access right to the second user device.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein a communication session between the first user device and the second user device enables the first user device and the second user to collaboratively evaluate one or more access rights represented on the displayed map.

15. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by computing hardware, cause the computing hardware to perform operations comprising:

accessing map data representing a spatial area, the map data further representing a location of a first access right and a second access right within the spatial area, each of the first access right and the second access right granting access to the spatial area, and the map data indicating that the first access right and the second access right are each associated with one or more users;

displaying a user interface enabling a first user device to:

display at least part of a map corresponding to the map data;

receive input corresponding to a selection of the first access right, the input being received using the displayed map;

identify a first request to reassign the first access right;

identify a second user device, the second user device having previously submitted a second request to reassign the second access right, and the second request being indicated on the displayed map;

associate the first request with the second request such that reassignment of the first access right is enabled only upon the second request being granted; and

submit the first request associated with the second request;

determining whether the second request has been granted; and

upon determining that the second request has been accepted, enabling the first access right to be reassigned to the first user device.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

determining whether the first request has been granted, wherein enabling the first access right to be reassigned to the first user device is conditioned upon the first request being granted.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

detecting that the first request for the first access right has been satisfied; and

reassigning the first access right to the first user device.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the displayed map enables users to submit requests associated with the first access right.

19. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

identifying a third request from the first user device for the first access right, the first access right being assigned to a third user device, and the third request requesting reassignment of the first access right from the third user device to the first user device.

20. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

conditioning the first request for the first access right on whether the second request for the second access right successfully results in assigning the second access right to the second user device.
