  • Patent number: 11842304
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for a ride-hailing platform. The ride-hailing platform includes one or more processors and a memory. The memory is configured to store computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including obtaining, from multiple transportation providers, multiple ride-sharing routes for multiple ride-sharing vehicles. The operations include obtaining a ride-hailing request including one or more disability settings for a user, a location of the user and a destination of the user. The operations include determining that a first ride-sharing vehicle should transport the user based on the one or more disability settings of the user. The operations include altering a first ride-sharing route to transport the user from the location of the user to the destination of the user and providing the altered first ride-sharing route to a driver of the first ride-sharing vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11118948
    Abstract: A system and method for displaying a placement array of calibration locations, including capturing image data of a target object located in a workspace using an optical sensor communicatively coupled to a processor. Classification data is received from a database, based on the image data of on the target object within the view of the optical sensor. An origin point of the placement array of calibration locations based on the image data is determined. A plurality of calibration positions for the workspace in relation to the origin point is retrieved from the database, where the calibration locations are based on the classification data from the image data. The placement array of calibration locations is displayed on a display communicatively coupled to the processor in an augmented reality depiction of the workspace, where the placement array of calibration locations is oriented in the workspace based on the origin point.
