Patent number: 11268824Abstract: A server identifies landmarks associated with users as the users take part in trips or otherwise interact with a navigation system. The server causes presentation of the identified landmarks to the users during future trips, such as part of navigational directions along a route to a particular destination, or on a visible portion of a map user interface. Presentation of the user-specific landmarks allows the users with more context and thus the ability to better navigate.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2020Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Moore, Vincent Dumont, Mathieu Courtemanche, Cady Wachsman, John Christopher O'Hare

Patent number: 11162803Abstract: A transportation management system coordinates the transportation of riders by drivers integrated with the system. To provide control to the rider of the route used during a trip provided by a given driver, the transportation management system computes several alternative routing options between the trip's origin location and destination location. These alternative routing options may be computed according to the rider's preferences and/or based on different optimization functions that optimize various trip parameters, for example, cost, time, traffic, and distance. The rider selects one of the alternative routing options as the preferred route between the origin location and the destination location. The transportation management system automatically communicates the routing option selected by the rider to the driver without requiring the rider to personally tell the driver of her preference.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Christopher O'Hare, Maya Paritosh Choksi, Evelyn Kim

Publication number: 20180089608Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, a method is provided. The method may include periodically determining one or more delivery routes associated with a delivery station. The method may also include identifying one or more delivery drivers to be assigned to the one or more delivery routes. Further, the method may include determining, based at least in part on location history data, route location data and efficiency data of delivery drivers, respective estimated route completion times associated with the one or more delivery drivers for the one or more delivery routes. The method may also include generating a routing assignment associated with the one or more delivery drivers and the one or more delivery routes.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2014Publication date: March 29, 2018Inventors: John Christopher O'Hare, Juqi Liu

Publication number: 20150081583Abstract: A system and method for confirming a delivery location. A delivery agent equipped with a device, for example, a mobile device, delivers a package to a location. When the package is delivered, the delivery agent triggers a delivery-event on the device, and in response to the delivery-event the device determines an RF fingerprint at the location. The RF fingerprint is stored, and a comparison of the RF fingerprint to previously stored RF fingerprints correlated to particular locations is performed. If the RF fingerprint determined by the first device corresponds to a previously stored RF fingerprint at the correct delivery location, the current delivery location is confirmed as correct.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2013Publication date: March 19, 2015Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David George Butler, John Christopher O'Hare, Sreekar Ramachandra Tanuku, Arvind Thiagarajan
