Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing by a third party device a tip collection function to an activity operator to collect a tip from a participant. One method includes using the tip collection function to offer to a plurality of participants, by the activity operator, a portal to allow the participants to each pay a tip for a service. A method further includes paying, to the third party via a portal, the tip by each participant electing to pay the tip and aggregating, by the third party, a plurality of tips from the plurality of participants electing to pay the tip over a period of time. A method further includes paying, by the third party, the aggregated plurality of tips from the plurality of participants to the activity operator.

Abstract: A computing system can implement an on-demand transport service by determining utilization conditions for a plurality of sub-regions of a geographic region. The utilization condition for each sub-region can correspond to a number of available drivers within the sub-region as compared to a number of transport requests comprising pickup locations within the sub-region. Based on the utilization condition for a given sub-region exceeding the predetermined utilization threshold, the computing system can transmit data to the computing devices of a plurality of drivers to display a geofence feature, defined by three or more location data points, that encompasses the given sub-region, and a notification indicating that the given sub-region has a utilization condition that exceeds the predetermined utilization threshold.

Abstract: A computing system can manage a notification database that stores notifications for drivers of a transportation service. The computing system can interface with at least one third party resource to receive event data corresponding to a given event. For a given time interval, the system can selectively notify drivers about the given event at a corresponding event location by determining a utilization condition for a sub-region of the event location and selecting, from the set of notifications, a notification for the sub-region of the event location based on the utilization condition. The system can select a set of driver devices to receive the selected notification based at least in part on the current location of each driver device in the selected set of driver devices relative to the event location, and transmit the selected notification to the selected set of driver devices.

Abstract: A system and method for providing notifications is described. The system accesses a notification database that stores a plurality of notification entries. Each notification entry includes notification text, location information, and condition information. For each of a plurality of devices, information is received that includes a current location of that device and a current status associated with that device. At least one device is determined to meet the condition information of a notification entry based on the received information. A notification corresponding to the notification entry is transmitted to the at least one device.
