Patent number: 11599964Abstract: A method and system for filtering service requests by destination and deadline are described. A network computer system receives provider data corresponding to a specified destination and a deadline from a service provider. The network computer system tracks a current location of the service provider through a device equipped with one or more location-based resources and receives request data corresponding to requests for service from users. The network computer system analyzes the request data for each of the requests for service to identify a subset of the requests that are assignable to the service provider based on whether the service provider is able to fulfill the request and travel to the desired destination before the deadline. The network computer system transmits a message to the service provider's device requesting that the service provider fulfill one of the requests for service from the identified subset.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Stumpf, Manas Khadilkar, Maya Paritosh Choksi, Maxim Gurevich
