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 computer-implemented method for notifying users of access rights associated with a resource, the method comprising:

receiving a first communication comprising a subscription message from a user device associated with a user, wherein:

the subscription message comprises a set of parameters in a specific format,

the set of parameters are defined at a social media network and comprises:

names corresponding to an entity associated with the resource,

location of the user device sending the first communication,

user affinity parameters for the entity associated with the resource,

extracting the set of parameters from the subscription message;

transmitting a query to a data store to identify access right from a plurality of access rights, wherein:

the query identifies the access right from the plurality of access rights which correlate to the set of parameters; and

transmitting a second communication to the user device, wherein:

the second communication comprises a notification to the user device,

the notification comprises details regarding allocation of access right from the plurality of access rights that corresponds to the set of parameters,

the second communication comprises an allocation link,

the allocation link establishes a channel between the user device and a remote server, and

the channel between the user device and the remote server comprises an interface for allocation of access right to the user device.

2. The computer-implemented method, as recited in claim 1 , wherein the user affinity parameters are determined using machine learning algorithms.

3. The computer-implemented method, as recited in claim 1 , wherein the location of the user device is determined by one or more sensors present in the user device.

4. The computer-implemented method, as recited in claim 1 , wherein the location of the user device is indicated by the user in the subscription message using one or more hash tags.

5. The computer-implemented method, as recited in claim 1 , wherein the query identifies access right from the plurality of access rights which are not currently allocated.

6. The computer-implemented method, as recited in claim 1 , wherein the user affinity parameters indicates affinity towards the entity associated with the resource.

7. The computer-implemented method, as recited in claim 1 , wherein the second communication expires within a predetermined period of time after the allocation of the access right.

8. A system for notifying users of access rights associated with a resource, the system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions which, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

receiving a first communication comprising a subscription message from a user device associated with a user, wherein:

the subscription message comprises a set of parameters in a specific format,

the set of parameters are defined at a social media network and comprises:

names corresponding to an entity associated with the resource,

location of the user device sending the first communication,

user affinity parameters associated with the entity associated with the resource,

extracting the set of parameters from the subscription message;

transmitting a query to a data store to identify access right from a plurality of access rights, wherein:

the query identifies the access right from the plurality of access rights which correlate to the set of parameters;

transmitting a second communication to the user device, wherein:

the second communication comprises a notification to the user device,

the notification comprises details regarding allocation of access right from the plurality of access rights that corresponds to the set of parameters,

the second communication comprises an allocation link,

the allocation link establishes a channel between the user device and a remote server, and

the channel between the user device and the remote server comprises an interface for allocation of access right to the user device.

9. The system, as recited in claim 8 , wherein the user affinity parameters are determined using machine learning algorithms.

10. The system, as recited in claim 8 , wherein the location of the user device is determined by one or more sensors present in the user device.

11. The system, as recited in claim 8 , wherein the location of the user device is indicated by the user in the subscription message using one or more hash tags.

12. The system, as recited in claim 8 , wherein the query identifies access right from the plurality of access rights which are not currently allocated.

13. The system, as recited in claim 8 , wherein the user affinity parameters indicates affinity towards the entity associated with the resource.

14. The system, as recited in claim 8 , wherein the second communication expires within a predetermined period of time after the allocation of access right.

15. A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, including instructions configured to cause a processing apparatus to perform operation, including:

receiving a first communication comprising a subscription message from a user device associated with a user, wherein:

the subscription message comprises a set of parameters in a specific format,

the set of parameters are defined at a social media network and comprises:

names corresponding to an entity associated with a resource,

location of the user device sending the first communication,

user affinity parameters associated with the entity associated with the resource,

extracting the set of parameters from the subscription message;

transmitting a query to a data store to identify access right from a plurality of access rights, wherein:

the query identifies the access right from the plurality of access rights which correlate to the set of parameters; and

transmitting a second communication to the user device, wherein:

the second communication comprises a notification to the user device,

the notification comprises details regarding allocation of access right from the plurality of access rights that corresponds to the set of parameters,

the second communication comprises an allocation link,

the allocation link establishes a channel between the user device and a remote server, and

the channel between the user device and the remote server comprises an interface for allocation of access right to the user device.

16. The computer-program product, as recited in claim 15 , wherein the user affinity parameters are determined using machine learning algorithms.

17. The computer-program product, as recited in claim 15 , wherein the location of the user device is determined by one or more sensors present in the user device.

18. The computer-program product, as recited in claim 15 , wherein the location of the user device is indicated by the user in the subscription message using one or more hash tags.

19. The computer-program product, as recited in claim 15 , wherein the query identifies access right from the plurality of access rights which are not currently allocated.

20. The computer-program product, as recited in claim 15 , wherein the user affinity parameters indicates affinity towards the entity associated with the resource.
