Abstract
A method and system for optimizing drone delivery efficiency. The method includes determining an optimal intermediate location for a UAV based on historical payload delivery data related to a payload carried by the UAV, wherein the distance between the optimal intermediate location and each of a group of potential recipient devices is less than a predetermined threshold; causing the UAV to navigate to the optimal intermediate location; sending, to each potential recipient device having a probability of requesting the payload carried by the UAV which exceeds a predetermined threshold, a notification indicating the payload carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle; receiving, from a first potential recipient device of the potential recipient devices, a request to deliver the payload; and causing the UAV to navigate from the optimal intermediate location to a location of the first potential recipient device when the request to deliver the payload is received.
