  • Patent number: 11438294
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for email management that leverages information derived from a sender's message activity with particular recipients in order to automatically format subsequent messages to those recipients according to the derived information. The present disclosure describes determining message templates associated with messages sent to repetitive recipients, and applying those determined templates upon composition of subsequent messages to the same recipients. Message templates comprise information associated with a message's settings, layout, message content, content type(s), a message type and the like. The determination of message templates and template information for application to messages being composed can be based on learned expressions and/or patterns from a sender's message activity or behavior.

  • Publication number: 20220188958
    Abstract: A computing system can receive transport requests from requesting users and attempt to match each transport request with a transport provider to transport the requesting user to a destination. Based on a cancelation request from the requesting user received prior to a match being made, the system can determine one or more alternative options for fulfilling the transport request based on one or more attributes indicated in a user profile of the requesting user, and cause a service application executing on the computing device of the requesting user to initiate an interactive mode to display contextual information associated with the matching process, and provide of the one or more alternative options for fulfilling the transport request.

  • Publication number: 20210248520
    Abstract: A computing system can communicate, over one or more networks, with computing devices of requesting users and transport providers of a transport service, and determine, based at least in part on location data from the computing devices of a cluster of the requesting users, that the cluster of requesting users is currently in transit on a third-party transit means. The computing system can then determine that a subset of the cluster will arrive at a common arrival location of the third-party transit means, and execute a timing optimization for the subset to determine, for each requesting user of the subset, an optimal time to transmit a transport request for an on-demand transport service at the common arrival location.
