RAPID LOCATION-BASED ASSOCIATION OF CARRIERS AND ITEMS

Abstract:

A method includes: obtaining, at a computing device, respective location data corresponding to a carrier and each of a set of items; for each item in the set of items: storing a previous association state between the item and the carrier; generating a set of attributes defining a spatial relationship between the item and the carrier; providing the set of attributes to a classifier to detect a current association state between the carrier and the item; and responsive to determining that the current association state between the carrier and the item is different from the previous association state, transmitting a status update message to a dispatcher configured to provide directional guidance to the carrier.
