Abstract

Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and control systems to provide a platform to facilitate implementation of an interface, and, more specifically, to a computing and data storage platform that implements specialized logic to facilitate distribution of items in accordance with an automatically adaptive schedule, for example, via an interface. In some examples, a method may include predicting data representing, for example, a zone of time in which depletion of an item is predicted. The method may monitor whether to replenish the item, and transmit via a network an electronic message including one or more item characteristics associated with the item to be replenished. The method may also include receiving another electronic message, and transmitting a control message to a merchant computing system to initiate adaptive distribution to replenish the item, among other things.

Claims (48)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

monitoring a usage rate associated with a consumer associated with the consumable item based on the aggregated usage rate;

generating based on the predicted distribution event a first electronic reminder message including data representing instructions to cause presentation of one or more user inputs at a user interface of a mobile device, the one or more user inputs being configured to receive input data signals associated with the automatically predicted distribution event, the user interface structured at the mobile device to include at least a first user interface portion configured to activate a first user input to ship the consumable item immediately and a second user interface portion configured to activate a second user input to adjust an interval of time in which to ship the consumable item without requiring access to an account associated with the consumer;

transmitting via a network the first electronic message as a function of the zone of time based on the aggregated usage rate, the zone of time being a range of time either preceding the predicted distribution event, or subsequent thereto, or both, the one or more user inputs being associated with different units of time, the first electronic message including one or more item characteristics associated with the consumable item to be replenished, data representing the first electronic message being configured to present at least one item characteristic at a display portion of the user interface at a user computing device, the first electronic message being a reminder message responsive to platform initiation, the network including a text messaging service;

receiving via the text messaging service a second electronic message from the user computing device as a response message to the reminder message, the response message including data representing a selected input from the one or more user inputs, wherein each user input is configured to represent a unit of time to modify a shipment date to form a modified ship date, the selected input representing at least one unit of time as an adjustment factor to adjust the interval of time;

monitoring the consumer ordering or reordering patterns based on the adjustment factor; and

applying the machine learning or deep learning algorithms to automatically update the predictive model to adapt the predicted distribution event to form an adapted predicted distribution event.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the adapted predicted distribution event is associated with a modification of the zone of time to form a modified zone of time to comport with the consumer ordering or reordering patterns.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the modified zone of time includes one or more of a first amount time prior to the adapted predicted distribution event and a second amount time subsequent to the adapted predicted distribution event.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the modified ship date includes an expedited shipment date as a function of the response message.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the modified ship date includes a delayed shipment date as a function of the response message.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

transmitting a control message, responsive to the second electronic message, to a merchant computing system entity including another processor and another memory, the merchant computing system entity included in the multiple networked merchant computing system entities, the control message including data configured to initiate control of distribution of a replenishing consumable item in an interval of time to a geographic location associated with the account, the control message also comprising other data from a conversation platform controller configured to initiate the transmitting of the control message to the merchant computing system entity and to control electronic data exchange between the adaptive distribution platform to of responsive to the adjustment factor, the merchant computing system entity, the user computing device, and the conversation platform controller using a data interface configured to transmit and receive the other data by using logic configured to monitor one or more data values associated with the predicted distribution event for the user computing system.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

detecting an amount of delay relative to transmitting the first electronic message, the amount of delay being associated with on the adjustment factor.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

generating automatically another control message independent of receiving the response message to the reminder message to cause the merchant computing system entity to generate an order, charge a credit card, and ship the consumable item.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein transmitting via the network the first electronic message comprises:

transmitting the first electronic message as a text message formatted as a short message service (“SMS”) message.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein receiving via the network the second electronic message comprises:

receiving the second electronic message formatted at an application disposed at the user computing system.

11. An apparatus comprising:

a memory including executable instructions; and

a processor, responsive to executing the instructions, is configured to:

receive multiple requests for a consumable item from multiple network computing devices associated with multiple usage rates;

predict at the adaptive distribution platform data representing a zone of time in which depletion of the consumable item as a predicted distribution event is predicted automatically based on a calculated usage rate, the adaptive distribution platform including a processor and memory and configured to provide replenishment services for multiple networked merchant computing system entities, wherein predicting the data representing the zone of time is based on an aggregated calculated usage rate comprises calculating the multiple usage rates based on execution of instructions to apply machine learning or deep learning algorithms to implement a predictive model and to generate a personalized recommendation based on user characteristics;

monitor a usage rate associated with a consumer associated with the consumable item based on the aggregated usage rate;

generate based on the predicted distribution event a first electronic reminder message including data representing instructions to cause presentation of one or more user inputs at a user interface of a mobile device, the one or more user inputs being configured to receive input data signals associated with the automatically predicted distribution event, the user interface structured at the mobile device to include at least a first user interface portion configured to activate a first user input to ship the consumable item immediately and a second user interface portion configured to activate a second user input to adjust an interval of time in which to ship the consumable item without requiring access to an account associated with the consumer;
