Publication number: 20140330599Abstract: There are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for service improvement techniques for a transportation service provider using mobile devices. In one aspect there is received user-entered data for at least one field present in a provided electronic form. The form includes a link that, when activated, establishes a voice channel between the passenger and a customer representative and provides a unique identifier associated with the user-entered data that enables a customer representative to retrieve the user-entered data. In another aspect, there is a graphical representation that is transmitted to a customer or a driver to facilitate execution of a reservation of a transportation service to be provided to the customer by the driver. In another aspect, there is a location range received from a wireless handheld device associated with a driver and data received from the driver indicative of a more accurate location within the location range.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2014Publication date: November 6, 2014Inventors: Boris Kalinichenko, Joseph G.

Patent number: 8532628Abstract: Described are methods and systems, including computer program products, for registering, configuring, and invoking actionable alerts. For example, an alert action is determined based on an alert. The alert is sent to a device based on an alert logic and the alert action is sent to the device based on a device capability. A received communication is identified as a response from the first device based on the alert requesting performance of the alert action.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2006Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: FMR LLCInventors: Boris Olegovich Kalinichenko, Joseph G.

Patent number: 5983203Abstract: A computer implemented method for processing streams of data signals representing different data items of a common business attribute transmitted by a plurality of different vendors. The streams of data signals are transmitted to the computer by the vendors. Each one of the vendors transmits the data items in a different vendor associated data item format. A rules table is provided in the computer relating each of the vendors with such vendors associated data item format. The streams of data signals transmitted by the plurality of different vendors are stored in a memory. The vendors transmitting the streams of data signals are identified by the computer. The formats of the streams of data signals transmitted by each of the vendors are mapped by the computer in accordance with the rules table into a common predetermined format for the data items. The common format of the data items is stored in a computer memory.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 1997Date of Patent: November 9, 1999Assignee: FMR Corp.Inventors: Brian E. Church, Joseph G.
