  • ENHANCED RIDE SHARING USER EXPERIENCE
    Publication number: 20180089605
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples, are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums which provide for improved matching of drivers and passengers in ride sharing systems using automatically determined user contexts. A score may be generated for each particular nearby driver that describes a suitability of the passenger and the driver given their respective contexts. In some examples, the score may be generated through the use of machine learning techniques. A nearby driver may then be selected based upon (or at least based partially on) the score. The selected driver may then be routed to the passenger.

  • Method, device, and system for AD-HOC resource selection
    Patent number: 9917892
    Abstract: A method, device, and system for selecting one or more devices and users to capture and share images of an event with other users includes establishing one or more ad-hoc groups with a resource management server. The resource management server communicates with one or more computing devices over a network to assign the computing devices to an ad-hoc group as a function of one or more users requesting to receive images captured at an event. For each ad-hoc group, the resource management server selects a device and a user to capture images of the event, which are distributed to the one or more users. Additionally, the computing devices may establish an ad-hoc group without the resource management server. A computing device of the ad-hoc group is selected to capture images of the event, which are distributed to users of the ad-hoc group through an ad-hoc network.
