Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a method and a system for automated incentive computation in a crowdsourcing system. The embodiment of the invention pertaining to a given task to be submitted for crowdsourcing computes an initial incentive range having minimum, maximum and midrange incentives, the maximum incentive being equal to a prespecified maximum incentive value. Historical data pertaining to tasks of the given type that were previously crowdsourced is acquired, wherein the historical data includes completion time and incentive information. The historical data is used with the minimum, midrange and maximum incentives to compute minimum, midrange and maximum incentive task completion times. These completion times are used to determine whether a first, second, or a third criterion has been met, and responsive to a first or second criterion being met, the given task is transformed, and the incentive range is updated, for use in computing a final incentive value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention disclosed and claimed herein relates generally to tasks related to crowdsourcing software. More specifically, the present invention relates to computationally optimized incentives to be provided for successful task completion. Background technique [0002] As known to those skilled in the art, crowdsourcing has grown into an increasingly popular method for accomplishing certain kinds of important tasks. In a crowdsourcing effort or process, a large number of organizations, individuals, and other entities (such as a specific provider group or the public) wishing to provide related services are invited to participate in a task given by a task requester. Examples of such tasks include, but are not limited to: developing specified software components, and the like. As used by those skilled in the art, and also as used herein, the term "crowdsourcing marketplace" generally means or refers to: all contemplated offerings of crowdsourcing servi...
