Patent number: 10825121Abstract: This disclosure describes a method and device for processing ride-sharing requests. The method and device process ride requests received from a first mobile device and generate a first hash corresponding to the ride request. The disclosure also describes a method and device for processing ride sharing responses. The method and device receives a ride request from a rider account, transmits a ride response to the rider account, compares a first location to a current location, determines that a difference between the first location and the current location is less than a threshold value, conducts a visual analysis of one or more persons proximate to the current location, requests that the rider audibly identify themselves, and determines, based at least in part on the audible identification and visual identification, that the rider is associated with the rider account.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Mahmoud Yousef Ghannam, Howard E. Churchwell, II, Soundousse Zouani
