Abstract: A system for matching a user device to an electric transport device including a plurality of electric transport devices comprising a first type and a second type configured differently than the first type; and a service provider deploying and tracking the plurality of electric transport devices, and including a processor. The processor is configured to receive a request to initiate a ride of an electric transport device; information regarding user physical characteristics collected via user input to the user device; determine a match of the user physical characteristics to a corresponding type of electric transport device by comparing the user physical characteristics to physical characteristics assigned to the first type of electric transport device and the second type of electric transport device, and select an individual electric transport device from among a collection of the corresponding type of electric transport device based on the match.

Abstract: A system and method for pairing a rider to a suitable electric transport device based on a variety of input parameters is described. The system involves a service provider that deploys at least two differently configured electric transport devices, and processes inputs from a user/rider such as biometric data, the rider's physical characteristics, rider experience level and preferences to pair the rider to a suitable electric transport device based on the inputs.

Abstract: A method for providing guided navigation for personal transport devices is described. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a list of predetermined destinations associated with a geographic area, projecting directions to one or more of the destinations on a ground surface located in front of a personal transport device, and providing an option to a user of the personal transport device to select between at least two different destinations. A direction associated with each destination of the at least two destinations may be projected on the ground surface located in front of the personal transport device. The method also includes receiving an input from the user indicating a selection of one of the at least two different destinations and projecting directions to the selected destination on the ground surface located in front of the personal transport device to guide the user to the selected destination.

Abstract: A method and system for synchronizing the start of group ride rentals of electric transport devices is described. In one embodiment, a method for initiating a group ride for a plurality of users of electric transport devices includes receiving a request from a first user of an electric transport device to initiate a group ride from a first location to a second location. The method also includes adding one or more additional users to the group ride. Each user is associated with a separate billing account with a service provider for the electric transport devices. The method further includes delaying a start of billing for each user included in the group ride by the service provider until each user has located an electric transport device.

Abstract: A portable dwelling system includes a rigid dwelling, an external frame, and a plurality of modular amenity units. The rigid dwelling is capable of being removably mountable to a trailer. The external frame is coupled to an exterior of the rigid dwelling and includes an integrated powered rail electrically connected to a power source. The external frame defines receiving areas having a standard size on the exterior of the rigid dwelling. The plurality of modular amenity units each removably interchangeable at any one of the receiving areas via a connector configuration. The connector configuration electrically couples the powered rail to each of the plurality of modular amenity units.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a parked vehicle warning infrastructure is described. In one embodiment, a method for providing a warning about parked vehicles includes receiving information associated with at least one of a parked vehicle or a personal transport device. The method also includes determining a location of one or more warning lights disposed in or near a roadway associated with the parked vehicle or the personal transport device. The method further includes sending an instruction to the one or more warning lights to illuminate. The illuminated one or more warning lights provide a warning to a user of the at least one of the parked vehicle or the personal transport device about a risk of a collision between the parked vehicle and the personal transport device.
