Patent number: 11912296Abstract: Systems and methods for avoiding illegal stopping zones are provided. In example embodiments, a networked system identifies a destination of a driver providing a transportation service to a user. The networked system monitors a user device of the driver, and infers, based on the monitoring, that the driver is planning to stop in an illegal stopping zone located a predetermined distance to the destination. The inference is based on device data such as accelerometer data or location data that is triangulated with known or derived illegal stopping zones. In response, the networked system causes presentation of a notification on a user interface of the device of the driver. The notification provides an indication of the illegal stopping zone. In some embodiments, the notification also provides an alternative stopping location determined by the networked system.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shailendra Ramineni Rao, Wesley KaiJie Leung, Eleanor Cady Wachsman, Jon Ryan Bowen

Patent number: 11879741Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing issue reporting in a navigation environment are provided. In example embodiments, a networked system causes presentation of a navigation user interface on a user device of a user, whereby the navigation user interface includes a route being navigated and navigation instructions. The networked system also causes presentation of one or more issue icons on the user device, whereby each issue icon represents a different type of issue to be reported. A selection of an issue icon from the one or more issue icons is received by the networked system. In response to receiving the selection of the issue icon, the networked system infers a location associated with the issue. The networked system updates a database with the issue and the inferred location. In some embodiments, the database is updated after the inferred location or the issue is verified.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shailendra Ramineni Rao, Nirav Bipinchandra Mehta, Paweena Attayadmawittaya, Janice Jieun Suh, Hanzhou Li

Publication number: 20230408275Abstract: Systems and methods for providing user control of alternate routes are provided. In example embodiments, a networked system receives a ride request from a user that indicates a drop-off location. The networked system identifies a current location of a user (e.g., a rider) and determines a plurality of routes from the current location of the user to a drop-off location. The plurality of routes is displayed on a user interface of a device of the user. In response, a selection of a route from the plurality of routes is received by the networked system. The networked system then causes presentation of a driving route corresponding to the selected route on a device of a driver and the device of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Shailendra Ramineni Rao, Wesley Kaijie Leung, Jayant Balasubramanian Sai, Kumar Chowdhary Veeravalli Naveen, Janice Jieun Suh, Paweena Attayadmawittaya

Patent number: 11709071Abstract: Various embodiments provide for annotating a geographic map. Display of a geographic map on a client device can be adjusted (e.g., pan over geographic map or adjust zoom level), and a first set of map annotations for the adjusted map is determined, where the first set of map annotations comprises at least one map annotation associated with a transport service opportunity. From the first set of map annotations, a second set of map annotations can be determined based on a map annotation visual hierarchy. For instance, at least a portion of the second set of map annotations can be determined by filtering the first set of map annotations based on a type of transport service opportunity. Subsequently, the second set of map annotations can be presented on the adjusted map on the display.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2018Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shailendra Ramineni Rao, Robin Carol Tolochko, Kamal Sharif Lukman, Eleanor Cady Wachsman, Adam Jeremy Share, Jingyu Yan, Joshua Michael Bisch

Patent number: 11118922Abstract: Systems and methods for reconciling a conflict between a rider-selected route and driving preferences of a driver are provided. In example embodiments, a networked system accesses driving preferences of the driver, wherein the driving preferences include preferences derived from past selection of routes by the driver. The networked system detects the conflict between characteristics of the rider-selected route and the driving preferences and determines one or more routes from a location of a vehicle of the driver to a destination based on the driving preferences. The network system reconciles the rider-selected route with the driving preferences by replacing at least one segment of the rider-selected route with at least one segment from the one or more routes to generate a reconciled route. The reconciled route is then displayed on a user interface of a device of the driver.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2019Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shailendra Ramineni Rao, Wesley KaiJie Leung, Jayant Balasubramanian Sai, Kumar Chowdhary Veeravalli Naveen, Seth Alan Woolley, Janice Jieun Suh, Paweena Attayadmawittaya

Publication number: 20120021829Abstract: A game machine may facilitate a photographic social game. The photographic social game may be played using, for example, camera-enabled devices (e.g., participating devices). The photographic social game may prompt users of camera-enabled devices to take and submit photographs at a particular time (e.g., 5:00 PM GMT or 5:00 PM local time), after occurrence of a particular event (e.g., 5 minutes after waking up), or any suitable combination thereof. These photos may be assembled by the game machine into a presentation that is shared among the users participating in the photographic social game, and one or more of various games may be played by the users based on the presentation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2011Publication date: January 26, 2012Applicant: KATANGO, INC.Inventors: Yoav Shoham, Shailendra Ramineni Rao, Michael Andrew Munie, Thuc D.
