Arranging passenger pickups for autonomous vehicles
Aspects of the disclosure relate to arranging a pick up and drop off locations between a driverless vehicle and a passenger. As an example, a method of doing so may include receiving a request for a vehicle from a client computing device, wherein the request identifies a first location. Pre-stored map information and the first location are used to identify a recommended point according to a set of heuristics. Each heuristic of the set of heuristics has a ranking such that the recommended point corresponds to a location that satisfies at least one of the heuristics having a first rank and such that no other location satisfies any other heuristic of the set of heuristics having a higher rank than the first rank. The pre-stored map information identifying a plurality of pre-determined locations for the vehicle to stop, and the recommended point is one of the plurality of pre-determined locations. The recommended point is then provided the client computing device for display on a display of the client computing device with a map.
Ride-Sharing Matching Method and System
An embodiment ride-sharing matching method includes receiving a call request, a ride-sharing request, and a ride-sharing condition from each of a plurality of user terminals, deriving a plurality of paths drivable by a vehicle for each of the ride-sharing requests, deriving at least one path combination by tying at least two paths among the plurality of paths, and determining a final matching combination including the path combination that satisfies each of the ride-sharing conditions based on a path coincidence degree threshold value, an additional fare discount threshold value, an additional required time limit, and a personal information condition.
OFFER DEVICE AND OFFER METHOD
The offer device includes a processor configured to offer candidate vehicles for reservation to a user through a user terminal, and determine a possibility of an area in which operation of an internal combustion engine is banned or restricted being included in a planned running route of the user. The processor is configured to determine an offer mode of the candidate vehicles for reservation based on the possibility.
ARRANGING PASSENGER PICKUPS FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
Aspects of the disclosure relate to arranging a pick up and drop off locations between a driverless vehicle and a passenger. As an example, a method of doing so may include receiving a request for a vehicle from a client computing device, wherein the request identifies a first location. Pre-stored map information and the first location are used to identify a recommended point according to a set of heuristics. Each heuristic of the set of heuristics has a ranking such that the recommended point corresponds to a location that satisfies at least one of the heuristics having a first rank and such that no other location satisfies any other heuristic of the set of heuristics having a higher rank than the first rank. The pre-stored map information identifying a plurality of pre-determined locations for the vehicle to stop, and the recommended point is one of the plurality of pre-determined locations. The recommended point is then provided the client computing device for display on a display of the client computing device with a map.
Split vacation deal generating server and efficient split deal generating methods
Provided is a split vacation deal server sending queries in plural batches in which at least one batch is sent, via at least one API, to at least one data supplier server. The at least one data supplier server may include at least one policy limiting at least one current aspect of the at least one data supplier server's interaction with the split vacation deal server.
METHODS, FIRST SERVICE REQUEST TERMINALS, SYSTEMS, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES FOR INFORMATION DISPLAY
The present disclosure provides a method, a first service requester, a system, and an electronic device for information display. The method may include obtaining a service request location where a first service requester is located when a carpooling request of the first service requester is received; determining dynamic carpooling information of at least one second service requester within a preset distance from the service request location during a carpooling process; and displaying the dynamic carpooling information of the at least one second service requester on a display interface of the first service request terminal. Therefore, the dynamic carpooling information of the at least one second service requester within the preset range from the service request location of the first service requester may be displayed to the first service requester during the time period waiting for the carpooling request of the first service requester to be responded, which can effectively enrich the display content of the service requester terminal, improve the transparency of the relevant information, fill the idle time that the user is waiting, and reduce the probability of the order cancellation.
System and method for recognizing environment and/or location using object identification techniques
The system and method of the present invention identify an environment or a location out of a sequence of information received in a video format. The invention provides a learning system and therefore the more videos that are received, relating to a specific environment/location, the more accurate the identification will be when a different image is later analyzed, including the ability to identify the environment/location seen from different viewpoint and angles.
RIDE MATCHING TO A DESTINATION CATEGORY OR PURPOSE IN A SHARED TRANSPORT SYSTEM
The network system triggers registration of the start of a transport journey in response to a communication of a transport user device and a transport provider device with each other, performs a continuous coordinated proximity monitoring to verify the identity of a transport user and a transport provider vehicle, and triggers registration of the end of the transport journey through communication of the transport user device and the transport provider device with each other.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING CONTEXTUAL SERVICES
Provided are systems and methods for contextually providing services via a portable computer at a selected location. According to some embodiments, the systems and methods include processes for determining location-specific information about the selected location, determining status information about a user of the portable computer interface, and displaying an available service to the user on a display screen of the portable computer, the available service being selected based on the location-specific information and the status information.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATED MULTIMODAL TRAVEL BOOKINGS
A system for integrated multimodal travel bookings, the system comprising an application programming interface (API) aggregation gateway configured to provide multiple API connections to multiple travel inventory systems to access, retrieve and aggregate multiformat travel inventory data for a multimodal travel trip by a traveller and a workflow engine configured to execute multiple workflows to merge the aggregated multiformat travel inventory data into multiple travel bookings and send the multiple travel bookings to the multiple travel inventory systems and receive multiple travel confirmations from the multiple travel inventory providers and merge the multiple travel confirmations into an integrated multimodal travel itinerary for the traveller.
