Publication number: 20240129375Abstract: A network system can receive a request data corresponding to a group request for service for multiple users. The request data can indicate a common destination or start location for the multiple users. The system transmits a first set of data to a first user device of the first user to cause the first user device to prompt the first user to input a start or destination location for the first user. The system then identifies a set of service providers to fulfill the group request for service for the multiple users.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Matthew Sweeney, Logan Rockmore, Lisa Weitekamp

Patent number: 11888948Abstract: A network system can receive a set of multi-user request data corresponding to a multi-user request for service for a set of users that includes a first user. The set of multi-user request data can indicate a common start location for the set of users and identification information for at least the first user of the set of users. In response to receiving the set of multi-user request data from the requesting user device, the system transmits a first set of data to a first user device of the first user to cause the first user device to prompt the first user to input a destination location for the first user. The system then identifies a set of service providers to fulfill the multi-user request for service for the set of users.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2023Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Sweeney, Logan Rockmore, Lisa Weitekamp

Patent number: 11622018Abstract: A network system managing an on-demand service within a geographic region can receive, over a network, multi-user request data corresponding to a request for service for a plurality of users. The request data can indicate one or more start locations, a plurality of users, and one or more service locations. In response to receiving the request data, the network system can select a set of service providers from a plurality of candidate service providers in the geographic region to provide the requested service. The service providers can be selected based on optimizations of one or more service parameters including estimated fares for the plurality of users, ETAs to the start location, ETAs to the service locations, etc. The network system can further determine routes for the set of service providers from their respective locations to the start or service location(s) and from the start or service location(s) to the respective start or service location(s).Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2021Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Sweeney, Logan Rockmore, Lisa Weitekamp
