Abstract
The network system triggers registration of the start of a transport journey in response to a communication of a transport user device and a transport provider device with each other, performs a continuous coordinated proximity monitoring to verify the identity of a transport user and a transport provider vehicle, and triggers registration of the end of the transport journey through communication of the transport user device and the transport provider device with each other.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for identity verification in a shared transport system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the shared transport system, a pick-up request from a transport user device of a transport user, the pick-up request including a pick-up location;
- identifying, by the shared transport system, a transport provider device of a transport provider in proximity to the pick-up location included in the pick-up request;
- transmitting, by the shared transport system, a transport request to the identified transport provider device;
- determining, by the shared transport system, that the transport request has been accepted at the transport provider device;
- generating, by the shared transport system, first transport instructions corresponding to the request, the first transport instructions including identification information usable to uniquely identify the transport user;
- transmitting, by the shared transport system, the first transport instructions including the identification information usable to uniquely identify the transport user to the transport provider device;
- transmitting, by the shared transport system, instructions to the transport provider device configured to cause the transport provider device to display the identification information and an interactive prompt for the transport provider to verify the identity of the transport user based on the identification information;
- and
- receiving, by the shared transport system, a response to the interactive prompt, the response input via an interactive interface of the transport provider device and indicating that, based on a comparison of the identification information with the transport user, either:
- the identity of the transport user has been verified;
- or
- the identity of the transport user cannot be verified.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one storage storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for identity verification in a shared transport system, the operations comprising:
- receiving, by the shared transport system, a pick-up request from a transport user device of a transport user, the pick-up request including a pick-up location;
- identifying, by the shared transport system, a transport provider device of a transport provider in proximity to the pick-up location included in the pick-up request;
- transmitting, by the shared transport system, a transport request to the transport provider device;
- determining, by the shared transport system, that the transport request has been accepted at the transport provider device;
- generating, by the shared transport system, first transport instructions corresponding to the request, the first transport instructions including identification information usable to uniquely identify the transport user;
- transmitting, by the shared transport system, the first transport instructions including the identification information usable to uniquely identify the transport user to the transport provider device;
- transmitting, by the shared transport system, instructions to the transport provider device configured to cause the transport provider device to display the identification information and an interactive prompt for the transport provider to verify the identity of the transport user by determining whether, in the presence of the transport user, the identification information matches the transport user;
- and
- receiving, by the shared transport system, a response to the interactive prompt, the response input via an interactive interface of the transport provider device and indicating that, based on a comparison of the identification information with the transport user, either:
- the identity of the transport user has been verified;
- or
- the identity of the transport user cannot be verified.
At least one non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for identity verification in a shared transport system, the operations comprising:
- receiving, by the shared transport system, a pick-up request from a transport user device of a transport user, the pick-up request including a pick-up location;
- identifying, by the shared transport system, a transport provider device of a transport provider in proximity to the pick-up location included in the pick-up request;
- transmitting, by the shared transport system, a transport request to the transport provider device;
- determining, by the shared transport system, that the transport request has been accepted at the transport provider device;
- generating, by the shared transport system, first transport instructions corresponding to the request, the first transport instructions including identification information usable to uniquely identify the transport user;
- transmitting, by the shared transport system, the first transport instructions including the identification information usable to uniquely identify the transport user to the transport provider device;
- transmitting, by the shared transport system, instructions to the transport provider device configured to cause the transport provider device to display the identification information and an interactive prompt for the transport provider to verify the identity of the transport user based on the identification information;
- and
- receiving, by the shared transport system, a response to the interactive prompt, the response input via an interactive interface of the transport provider device and indicating that, based on a comparison of the identification information with the transport user, either:
- the identity of the transport user has been verified;
- or
- the identity of the transport user cannot be verified.
