  • Patent number: 11516623
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically maintaining and utilizing walking profiles for time estimations in service scheduling are provided. A networked system detects usage of an application on a user device. In response to the detecting, the networked system accesses environmental condition data at a location associated with a user of the user device, whereby the environmental condition data comprises one or more environmental condition affecting the location. The networked system accesses walking pace data from the user device, whereby the walking pace data represents a current walking pace of the user and correlates the walking pace data with the environmental condition data. Using the correlated data, the networked system adjusts a parameter in a walking profile of the user. The walking profile is then used to determine time estimates that are used to schedule services that require walking by a user.

  • Publication number: 20190340544
    Abstract: A network computer system can receive location information indicating a current location of a user, upon detecting a user having arrived at an airport. based at least on the current location of the user, the network computer system can determine a time-to-reach pickup interval. Additionally, the network computer system can receive location information indicating a current location of each of a set of service providers. Based on at least on the current location of at least one service provider of the set of service providers, the network computer system can determine a request time interval. Moreover, based on the request time interval and the time-to-reach pickup interval, the network computer system can determine a computed request time indicating a time to trigger a service request.

  • Patent number: 10417584
    Abstract: A system and method are provided which obtain a travel itinerary for a user, the itinerary identifying a trip, including a scheduled flight to a destination. A scheduled flight is monitored to detect when the scheduled flight arrives at the destination. Upon the scheduled flight arriving at an airport of the destination, one or more notifications are sent to a mobile computing device of the user. Information can be provided with the notifications for an on-demand ground transportation service. The information may include a location at the airport where the user can be picked up in connection with receiving the on-demand transportation service, and a timing indicator to indicate when the user should make a request to receive the on-demand transportation service based on a real-time determination of a number of available service providers in a vicinity of the airport.
