Abstract: The present technology provides native access control handling based on curated data received through third-party authentication protocols. Authentication of a user account is based on a set of curated data received from a third-party application with respect to a third-party application user account shared by a same user. The user account is a member of a server that supports near real-time communications through a client application associated with the user account. The set of curated data is received in response to receiving authentication based on a third-party authentication protocol associated with the third-party application. The curated set of data can be displayed in a profile of the user account as well as for providing an access privilege to the user account in the server.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for generating transportation matches for transportation requests utilizing one or more efficiency metrics based on network coverage in a region. For example, the systems utilize regional and sub-regional network coverage features to generate a predicted network coverage improvement metric resulting from not assigning a particular provider device to a transportation request according to the regional network coverage features. Additionally, the systems utilize regional network coverage features to determine possible request states for a transportation request. The systems then utilize a Markov decision model policy based on the request states to generate an unmatched requester device efficiency metric associated with leaving the request unassigned for a time period.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a request distribution system that can intelligently distribute transportation requests to provider devices to improve transportation system network coverage and efficiency. For example, the disclosed systems can identify one or more provider devices (e.g., limited-eligibility provider devices or full-eligibility provider devices) as potential recipients for a transportation request. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems can further determine an expected change in network coverage time associated with providing the transportation request to one provider device versus another. The disclosed systems can provide the transportation request to a provider device according to the expected change in network coverage time and/or other transportation request metrics.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that improve efficiency and flexibility of implementing computer devices by providing efficient user interfaces to provider devices that include optimal digital routes selected based on dynamic route efficiency metrics. In particular, the disclosed systems can identify and surface an optimal alternative route from a pickup location to a drop-off location associated with a transportation match based on a variety of dynamic non-temporal factors. The disclosed systems can utilize a variety of computer implemented models to determine non-temporal factors, such as distance efficiency metrics, route-segment access efficiency metrics, congestion efficiency metrics, risk efficiency metrics, and match-based efficiency metrics. The disclosed systems can then combine these non-temporal factors utilizing a common efficiency framework to determine and surface an optimal alternative route.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for identifying provider devices and corresponding vehicles as candidates to transport time-sensitive (or otherwise prioritized) requestors and providing prioritized transportation options as fast passes for display on such requestors' devices. To provide such a prioritized transportation option, the disclosed systems can identify provider devices either matched or unmatched with requestors as candidates for prioritized transport based on estimated times of arrivals (ETAs) of vehicles for the candidate provider devices at the requestor's pickup location. Based on the ETAs at the pickup location, the disclosed systems can select a closest provider device from among the candidate provider devices to transport a prioritized requestor. After matching the prioritized requestor to the closest provider device, the disclosed systems can further search for providers with sooner ETAs.

Abstract: This disclosure describes an intersection-location system that can identify a street intersection indicated by a transportation request and select an event location at the street intersection based on intersection-location attributes. For example, the disclosed systems can receive a transportation request identifying a requested location at a street intersection and compare various candidate designated locations at the intersection as potential pickup, drop-off, or waypoint locations. The disclosed systems can compare intersection-location attributes for the different candidate designated locations by comparing predicted arrival times or predicted routes of different transportation providers at (or from) the candidate designated locations. The disclosed systems can further select a designated pickup, drop-off, or waypoint location from among the candidate designated locations for a transportation route based on the transportation request.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for detecting a potential (or active) shared transportation request from a new requestor's device and an ongoing (or otherwise active) transportation for an existing requestor by a vehicle and then extemporaneously generating an ephemeral-transportation option for display on the new requestor's device to share the ongoing transportation by the vehicle. For example, the disclosed systems can detect a pickup location and a drop-off location associated with a new requestor and one or more active transportations that correlate with the detected locations. Based on the detected pickup and drop-off locations, the disclosed systems match the new requestor with the active transportation by the vehicle for the existing requestor.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (i) receiving, by a dynamic transportation matching system, a request for transportation between initial waypoints, (ii) calculating, by the dynamic transportation matching system, a value metric for an initial driving route between the initial waypoints (iii) calculating a value metric for a walk-enabled driving route that comprises at least one alternate waypoint that is within a predetermined walking range of one of the initial waypoints, and (iv) improving, by the dynamic transportation matching system, a value of fulfilling the request for transportation by determining that a difference between the value metric of the walk-enabled driving route and the value metric of the initial driving route satisfies a walking-value threshold and selecting, based on the determination that the difference satisfies the walking-value threshold, the walk-enabled driving route for fulfilling the request for transportation.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (i) receiving, from a transportation requestor device, a request for transportation that comprises a transportation stop at a location next to a street, (ii) matching, by a dynamic transportation matching system, the transportation requestor device with a transportation provider, and (iii) improving, by the dynamic transportation matching system, a value of fulfilling the request by (a) determining that a near side of the street is closer to the location of the transportation stop than a far side of the street, (b) mapping, based on the determination that the near side of the street is closer to the location of the transportation stop, a driving route that traverses the street, and (c) directing the transportation provider to fulfill the request for transportation by traversing the driving route. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
