Patents by Inventor Ricky Chachra

Ricky Chachra has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240027206
    Abstract: Methods and systems for correcting errors in transportation routes are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving a transportation request that includes at least two locations. A first route prediction may be generated based on a first set of previously-completed routes associated with the at least two locations. A first predictive model may compare the first route prediction with route information associated with a second set of previously-completed routes identified based on the first route prediction. A second route prediction may be generated based on the comparison and may be sent to a mobile device for presentation to a user.

  • Patent number: 11763411
    Abstract: This disclosure covers machine-learning methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that generate a multiplier that efficiently and effectively provides on-demand transportation services for a geographic area. The methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems dynamically adjust the multiplier with machine learners to maintain a target estimated time of arrival for a provider device to fulfill a request received from a requestor device. In some embodiments, the methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems generate a multiplier report comprising a representation of a geographic area and an indication of the multiplier to facilitate inflow and outflow of provider devices within and without the geographic area.

  • Patent number: 11692833
    Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques, including systems and methods, for determining alternate request locations based on a pickup location score (PLoS) of a location associated with transportation request information. A pickup location score may include an objective quantitative measurement of the fitness of a location for a pickup by a provider. For example, embodiments may receive transport request information associated with a requestor computing device including a request location, determine a modified request location based at least on a location score for each of one or more alternate request locations that are within a threshold distance of the request location, and send modified transport request information associated with the modified request location and the first requestor computing device to a provider computing device associated with a matched provider for the transport request information.
