Abstract: A method is provided for booking a hotel room that improves the satisfaction level for a consumer and increases revenue for the hotelier. Consumers may benefit from being able to select property-specific and room-specific attributes for which they perceive enhanced value, while property-specific and room-specific attributes that a consumer does not particularly value may be avoided in an effort for the consumer to spend on features they desire. Further, hoteliers may benefit from being able to offer room-specific attributes and add-on features that create additional revenue streams for the hotel. Additionally, the transparency afforded the consumer of the room-specific attributes available versus those selected provides the consumer with a level of expectation that is more aligned with the hotel and the specific room they selected, thereby improving customer satisfaction.

Abstract: A system can receive location information from computing devices of drivers to determine current positions of each of the drivers as the drivers operate throughout a geographic region. The system can transmit data to a computing device of a user, causing the computing device to generate a map interface including (i) a map indicating a current location of the computing device of the user on the map, (ii) an estimated time of arrival for a particular vehicle to rendezvous with the user, and (iii) a user interface feature operable by the user to request transport. Based on the user configuring the user interface feature displayed on the map interface, the system receives a transport request specifying a pickup location and selects a driver to fulfill the transport request.

Abstract: The present application relates to the technical field of cruising taxis and online appointment vehicles, and in particular relates to an order processing method and apparatus, a server and a storage medium. The method includes: receiving an order request sent by a user, the order request including information of a requested vehicle model set by the user; selecting a target vehicle according to the order request so as to send order distribution information; and if the requested vehicle model set by the user is an online appointment vehicle model, sending an operating state change instruction to the target vehicle. According to the order processing method not only avoids the order acceptance and dropping behavior of cruising taxi drivers and ensures that the user may travel conveniently, but also ensures that the vehicle that accepts the order may meet user demands, improving the user experience.

Abstract: An AV receives a delivery request made by a user. The AV navigates to the user's location. The AV's onboard controller determines that the AV has arrived at the location. The onboard controller then commands the AV's motor to pause motion. The onboard controller provides the user an access to a delivery assembly in the AV. The onboard controller or the delivery assembly detects, by using sensors in the delivery assembly, whether an item has been removed from or placed into the container. Subsequent to detecting that the item has been removed from or placed into the container, the onboard controller commands the AV's motor to resume motion. The onboard controller or delivery assembly may also control a movable element in the container to allow the user to load or unload the item from a safe spot or control a divider in the container to protect the user's privacy.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe receiving a transport request from a first device, transmitting the transport request to a second device, causing the second device to display a first instruction, determining that a current location of a securable container associated with the second device matches the first location, based on the determination, generating a first access code operable to access the securable container, and transmitting the first access code to a third device, receiving an indication that the securable container has been opened using the first access code, based on the indication, causing the second device to display a second instruction, determining that a subsequent location of the securable container matches the second location, based on the determination, generating a second access code and transmitting the second access code to the first device; and receiving a subsequent indication that the securable container has been opened using the second access code.

The method includes receiving, by a processor of a computing device, entry of TTS shipping data. The method includes receiving an entry providing an identification of a location tracker that is collocated with the TTS package, the location tracker enabling the TTS package to be geographically tracked during shipping. Method includes receiving a total time limit for package delivery from a current time, and assigning at least one threshold time that precedes the total time limit; receiving, via a network connection to the location tracker, an update of a real-time location of the TTS package relative to an intended destination; in response to the total elapsed time surpassing one threshold, generating and forwarding a notification to an output device that includes a pre-configured notification message related to the time and/or temperature sensitivity of the TTS package.

Abstract: The present invention provides a reception system, a reception method, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program that are capable of identifying a guest. The reception system (100) includes a face photo information check unit (1), and a reception terminal (2). When the reception terminal (2) receives an input indicating an application for a check-in of a guest (GS1), the face photo information check unit (1) checks passport-face-photo-at-check-in-time information scanned from a passport (P1) at the time of check-in, with face-photo-at-check-in-time information through photographing the guest (GS1) at the time of check-in. When the passport-face-photo-at-check-in-time information and the face-photo-at-check-in-time information indicate a same person as a result of checking by the face photo information check unit (1), the reception terminal (2) displays information on a room reserved by the guest (GS1), and issues a card key for the room reserved by the guest (GS1).
