Patent number: 11688225Abstract: A computing system can receive, over the one or more networks, a request for a service from a client device of a user. In response to receiving the request, the system can generate a unique identifier for the request to facilitate a rendezvous between the user and a service provider, and transmit the unique identifier to the client device of the user. Based on the user and the service provider making the rendezvous, the system receives data corresponding to the unique identifier from a provider application executing on a client device of the service provider. Based on receiving the data corresponding to the unique identifier from the client device of the service provider, the system updates a status for the user to indicate that the service has been provided by the service provider for the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Brinig, Fahrettin Olcay Cirit, Margaret-Ann Julia Seger

Patent number: 11030843Abstract: A computing system can receive a request for a transport service from a client device of a rider and determine a unique identifier for the transport service. The system may then transmit the unique identifier to the client device of the rider and receive data corresponding to the unique identifier from a driver application executing on a client device of a driver. Based on receiving the data corresponding to the unique identifier from the client device of the driver the system can transmit match data to the client device of the driver to cause the driver application to execute an on-trip sub-state for providing the transport service for the rider.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2020Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Brinig, Fahrettin Olcay Cirit, Margaret-Ann Julia Seger

Patent number: 10706659Abstract: A computing system can receive a pick-up request for a transport service from a requesting user within a given region. Based at least in part on the requesting user being within the given region, the computing system can transmit match code data corresponding to a match code to the computing device of the requesting user. The computing system may then receive input data indicating the match code from a computing device of an available driver, signifying that the available driver is to provide the transport service for the requesting user, and update a status for the requesting user to indicate that the transport service is being provided by the available driver for the requesting user.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2019Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Brinig, Fahrettin Olcay Cirit, Margaret-Ann Julia Seger

Patent number: 10325442Abstract: A transport facilitation can identify a mass egress area within a given region and receive a pick-up request from a rider device within the mass egress area. In response to receiving the pick-up request, the transport facilitation system transmit a match code to the rider device. The system may then receive an indication of the match code from a driver device, the indication signifying a pick-up event between a requesting user of the rider device and an available driver of the driver device within the mass egress area, and record a state for both the rider device and the driver device indicating an initiation of a ride to a destination of the requesting user.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Brinig, Fahrettin Olcay Cirit, Margaret-Ann Julia Seger

Patent number: 10304277Abstract: A computing system can receive a first transport request from a computing device of a respective user while a rider application is operating in the default mode, and transmit a confirmation indicating information about a paired driver that is assigned to the first transport request to the computing device of the respective user. The computing system may further receive a second transport request from the computing device of the respective user while the rider application is operating in the secondary mode, and transmit data comprising a unique match code to the computing device of the respective user, causing the rider application to generate and output digital signature.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2018Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Brinig, Fahrettin Olcay Cirit, Margaret-Ann Julia Seger

Patent number: 10192387Abstract: A mobile computing device can store a rider application for an on-demand transportation service. Based on the mobile computing device being in a mass egress area, the rider application can initiate a late-binding state to enable a direct pairing between the user and an available driver. In the late-binding state, the mobile computing device can receive a unique match code from a backend transport system that manages the on-demand transportation service, and display the unique match code on the display screen to facilitate the direct pairing.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2016Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Brinig, Fahrettin Olcay Cirit, Margaret-Ann Julia Seger

Patent number: 9621602Abstract: Physical social actions are conveniently detected, characterized, and provided to a social networking system. This improves the user experience of the social networking system by more thoroughly recording the social actions of users occurring outside a social graph. This has the effect of extending an open social graph, which typically refers to social actions taken outside the social networking system but within a computer network, to physical social actions. By providing characterized physical social actions to the social networking system, the open social graph is extended to include physical social actions.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2013Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Cameron Ryan, Jialiya Huang, Paul Henry Booth, Jonathan Andrew McKay, Seungwhan Moon, Margaret-Ann Julia Seger, Amon Daran Millner, Peter Xiu Deng, Christopher John Marra, Scott Andrew Thomson, Gregory Matthew Marra

Publication number: 20160147810Abstract: A social networking system allows users to establish connections with other users to receive content provided to the social networking system by the other user. The social networking system may recommend an additional user to the user in response to the user establishing a connection with a target user. To recommend an additional user, the social networking system determines a relevance of the additional user to the target user relative to the relevance of other candidate users to the target user. The relevance may be based on a measure of similarity between an additional user and the target user, such as a covariance in the overlap of users connected to both the additional user and to the target user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2014Publication date: May 26, 2016Inventors: Margaret-Ann Julia Seger, Rodrigo M. Schmidt, Japinder Singh, Renbin Peng
