Patent number: 11910452Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and client devices that automatically initiate a wireless network connection (e.g., a pairing) with an auxiliary computing device based on recurring detection of a wireless broadcast signal from the auxiliary computing device. Upon detecting a wireless broadcast signal for an auxiliary computing device satisfying a signal-strength threshold at multiple times or locations, for example, the disclosed client devices can automatically initiate a wireless network connection (e.g., a pairing) with the auxiliary computing device. By automatically initiating a wireless connection with such an auxiliary computing device, the disclosed client devices obviate inefficient user interactions conventional computing devices use to establish a pairing, facilitate pairings with auxiliary computing devices for unsavvy technology users, and avoid unsecure wireless connections that may compromise data on the disclosed provider client devices.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Lyft, Inc.Inventors: Sachin Agarwal, Megha Chhabra, Luke Greenwood, Xiaofan Hu, Ryan Tancredi, Sergey Shlykovich, Xinran Wang, Shuchang Zheng

Publication number: 20230412707Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques, including systems and methods, for locating and navigating to the location of a requestor based on proximity between a requestor device and a provider device. For example, embodiments display proximity indicators to allow a provider to quickly, easily, and safely locate a requestor upon arrival near a request location. Further, in some embodiments, graphics associated with a proximity vector may be presented on a provider communication device to clearly display the navigation directions to the provider so that the provider may easily find their matched requestor without requiring additional communication between the provider and the requestor. Additionally, embodiments provide efficient navigation to riders by limiting display of proximity indicators for navigation until the provider is within a threshold distance to the request location to conserve system resources and communication between an on-demand matching system and the provider computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Taggart Matthiesen, Sergey Shlykovich, Ethan Eyler, Sebastian Brannstrom, Jesse McMillin, Sean Murphy

Patent number: 11574262Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques, including systems and methods, for improving the accuracy of location information for requestor and provider devices in an dynamic transportation matching system using local communications between computing devices. For example, embodiments allow a provider computing device to identify, pair, and/or communicate with a requestor computing device upon arrival near a request location for a ride matching request. The provider computing device may use signal strength measurements associated with signals received from the requestor computing device to identify a proximity to the requestor computing device and/or to triangulate an accurate location of the requestor computing device. Additionally, the provider computing device may use a combination of the location reported by the ride matching system and the signal strength of the paired connection to identify the location of the requestor computing device.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2016Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Lyft, Inc.Inventors: Taggart Matthiesen, Sergey Shlykovich, Ethan Eyler, Sebastian Brannstrom, Sean Murphy
