Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include identifying and notifying requestors that may be candidates for a particular autonomous vehicle in order to find those candidates that may be willing or able to relax their travel constraints to match the autonomous vehicle. A request flow may involve surfacing the potential option of matching to an autonomous vehicle before setting a specific destination. For example, the request flow may involve determining that an autonomous vehicle is sufficiently near an in-session potential requestor. Before the potential requestor enters a specific destination, the request flow may present the possibility of the potential requestor being matched with the autonomous vehicle. In some examples, the request flow may then provide available drop-off locations that are compatible with the autonomous vehicle for selection by the potential requestor. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

The system comprises at least one booking system; at least one service provider; a mediator service; a client, and at least one client terminal device that can be a mobile device and that includes a dialogue. The client uses the dialogue to enter information into the system and the mediator receives inquiries and answers from the at least one booking system, the at least one service provider, and the at least one client. The mediator transfers and adapts information between them. The method and system are particularly suited for use with mobile phone users by Small Message Service messages.

Abstract: The information processing device acquires load information of a load to be transported by UGV 1; acquires environmental information obtained by sensing an environment around the UGV by a sensor mounted on the UGV at a transport destination of the load; and determines a place where the load is placed by the UGV at the transport destination on the basis of the load information and the environmental information.

Abstract: A method for inferring a status asset information from data of a first type gathered by a first asset tracking device is provided. The method includes determining that a first asset tracking device coupled to a first asset and a second asset tracking device coupled to a second asset are travelling together, that the first asset tracking device has a first operating mode, and that the second asset tracking device has a second operating mode, which is different from the first operating mode of the first asset tracking device. In response, the second asset tracking device enters into a low-power mode in which it either does not gather data of the first type or does so at a reduced rate. Status information related to the second asset may be inferred from data of the first type gathered by the first asset tracking device.

Abstract: A variety of factors may affect a shipment as it travels from a sender to a recipient. However, reliably gathering and storing information relating to such factors may be difficult because of the wide variation in the means for generating and/or collecting such information. Accordingly, examples of the present disclosure describe shipment record systems and methods. In an example, an image capture device is used to generate image data relating to a shipment. The image data may be associated with the shipment to generate a shipment record, such that the shipment record may be later updated and/or retrieved. In examples, the shipment record comprises other shipment information relating to the shipment. As a result, it is possible to generate statistics, identify trends, and provide reports relating to one or more shipments, which increases accountability and enables shipping agents to dynamically adjust resource allocation, among other benefits.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating and transmitting push notifications in connection with a transport service. Push notification triggers can be configured by a user via an application-based user interface corresponding to an application specific to the transport service. A user profile associated with the user can be accessed to detect one or more preconfigured push notification triggers, and thereafter transport service activity can be dynamically monitored for trigger events. Such trigger events can cause the system to generate and transmit push notifications to the user's mobile device.

The primary beacon may be in communication with the other beacons in the network using a low power wireless technology, such as Bluetooth® low energy (BLE). The primary beacon may receive updates and content from a server over a network to which the primary beacon is in communication, and then send the received updates and content to the other beacons. Moreover, the other beacons may periodically provide updates or collect information and provide this information to the primary beacon, which can then send the updates or collected information to the server for storage and/or analysis.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and system includes receiving a request to participate in an electronic seating optimization algorithm and retrieving data about an existing electronic ticket, the data including a location of a seat within a venue. A first list of one or more requests to participate in the electronic seating optimization algorithm may be generated where the first list is ranked in accordance with at least a location of each seat associated with an electronic ticket. Subsequently, a seating optimization algorithm is executed to identify optimal and available seats corresponding to one or more seats from each request to participate. A second list of the one or more requests to participate is generated where the second list is ranked in accordance with the results of the electronic seating optimization algorithm. The location of a seat is then transmitted over a communications network in response to at least one request.
