Publication number: 20210215492Abstract: A network system, such as a transport management system, selects a pickup location for a trip and navigates a rider to the selected pickup location using augmented reality (AR). Responsive to receiving a trip request including an origin location, a pickup location selection module selects candidate pickup locations within a threshold distance of the rider client device. The pickup location selection module filters and ranks the candidates based on historical service data and location characteristics associated with the origin location as well as any history of pickups of the rider at the origin location and data from the trip request. The top-ranked candidate is selected as the pickup location and sent to the rider and driver client devices. An AR navigation module instructs the rider client device to visually augment a live video stream with computer-generated AR elements to navigate the rider from a current location to the pickup location.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2021Publication date: July 15, 2021Inventors: John Badalamenti, Joshua Inch, Christopher Michael Sanchez, Theodore Russell Sumers

Patent number: 11042751Abstract: A network system, such as a transport management system, uses augmented reality (AR) to identify an approaching vehicle. Responsive to receiving a trip request, a trip management module matches the rider with an available driver and instructs a trip monitoring module to monitor the location of the driver's vehicle as it travels to the pickup location. When the driver's vehicle is within a threshold distance of the pickup location, an AR control module instructs the rider client device to begin a live video stream and instructs an image recognition module to monitor the video stream for the driver's vehicle. Responsive to the driver's vehicle entering the field of view of the camera on the rider client device, the AR control module selects computer-generated AR elements and instructs the rider client device to visually augment the video stream to identify the driver's vehicle as it approaches the pickup location.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2020Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Conway Badalamenti, Joshua Inch, Christopher Michael Sanchez, Theodore Russell Sumers

Patent number: 10760917Abstract: A transportation management system matches drivers with riders. After a rider has been picked up by a driver, a navigation route from the rider's pickup location to the driver's next stop is displayed to the driver on a mobile computing device. Prior to picking up the rider, only an initial portion of the navigation route is displayed to the driver. The amount of the initial portion displayed to the driver is dynamically determined according to its navigational complexity.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Moore, Evelyn Kim, Christine Misuye Tao, Nadeem Malik, Paweena Attayadmawittaya, Christopher Haugli, Jayant B.
