Publication number: 20240129375Abstract: A network system can receive a request data corresponding to a group request for service for multiple users. The request data can indicate a common destination or start location for the multiple users. The system transmits a first set of data to a first user device of the first user to cause the first user device to prompt the first user to input a start or destination location for the first user. The system then identifies a set of service providers to fulfill the group request for service for the multiple users.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Matthew Sweeney, Logan Rockmore, Lisa Weitekamp

Patent number: 11888948Abstract: A network system can receive a set of multi-user request data corresponding to a multi-user request for service for a set of users that includes a first user. The set of multi-user request data can indicate a common start location for the set of users and identification information for at least the first user of the set of users. In response to receiving the set of multi-user request data from the requesting user device, the system transmits a first set of data to a first user device of the first user to cause the first user device to prompt the first user to input a destination location for the first user. The system then identifies a set of service providers to fulfill the multi-user request for service for the set of users.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2023Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Sweeney, Logan Rockmore, Lisa Weitekamp

Publication number: 20230175857Abstract: An on-board computing system for a vehicle is configured to generate and selectively present a set of autonomous-switching directions within a navigation user interface for the operator of the vehicle. The autonomous-switching directions can inform the operator regarding changes to the vehicle's mode of autonomous operation. The on-board computing system can generate the set of autonomy-switching directions based on the vehicle's route and other information associated with the route, such as autonomous operation permissions (AOPs) for route segments that comprise the route. The on-board computing device can selectively present the autonomy-switching directions based on locations associated with anticipated changes in autonomous operations determined for the route of the vehicle, the vehicle's location, and the vehicle's speed. In addition, the on-board computing device is further configured to present audio alerts associated with the autonomy-switching directions to the operator of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2023Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Logan Rockmore, Molly Nix

Patent number: 11644319Abstract: A system can receive a destination change request inputted by a passenger of an autonomous vehicle, where the destination change request comprises a request to change a first destination of the passenger to a second destination. In response to receiving the destination change request, the system determines a feasibility indicator for the autonomous vehicle to travel to the second destination, and based on the feasibility indicator, determines a suggested destination being different from the second destination. The system transmits an instruction to a computing system of the autonomous vehicle, causing the computing system of the autonomous vehicle to reroute the autonomous vehicle to the suggested destination. The system then transmits an instruction to a computing device associated with a non-autonomous vehicle, where the instruction comprises a request or invitation for a driver of the non-autonomous vehicle to transport the passenger from the suggested destination to the second destination.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2021Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Sweeney, Molly Nix, Emily Bartel, Logan Rockmore, Anthony Levandowski

Patent number: 11622018Abstract: A network system managing an on-demand service within a geographic region can receive, over a network, multi-user request data corresponding to a request for service for a plurality of users. The request data can indicate one or more start locations, a plurality of users, and one or more service locations. In response to receiving the request data, the network system can select a set of service providers from a plurality of candidate service providers in the geographic region to provide the requested service. The service providers can be selected based on optimizations of one or more service parameters including estimated fares for the plurality of users, ETAs to the start location, ETAs to the service locations, etc. The network system can further determine routes for the set of service providers from their respective locations to the start or service location(s) and from the start or service location(s) to the respective start or service location(s).Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2021Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Sweeney, Logan Rockmore, Lisa Weitekamp
