Patent number: 11386502Abstract: A mobile device initiates automatic action-based product provisioning for rides. The mobile device detects a ride protection trigger and alerts a management server of the detected ride protection trigger. The mobile device also retrieves ride information from a ride application and sends the ride information to the management server. The management server determines a ride action based on the ride protection trigger and the ride information. The management server identifies a product based on the determined ride action and sends the ride information and a request for a dynamic product to a product provisioning server. The product provisioning server generates the dynamic product based on the request and the ride information and sends the generated dynamic product to the management server. The management server may send the dynamic product to the mobile device for display.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Sure, Inc.Inventor: Wayne Slavin
