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 method for verifying a shared journey between a transport user and a transport provider in a shared transport system, comprising:
- receiving, via a verification system of an access control system, respective location information from each of a transport provider device associated with the transport provider and a transport user device associated with the transport user;
- comparing, via the verification system, the respective location information received from the transport user device and from the transport provider device;
- determining, via the verification system and based on the comparison of the respective location information, whether the transport user device is within transit proximity of the transport provider device;
- and
- one or more of determining or updating a shared transport status of a transport vehicle associated with the transport provider based on whether the transport user device is within transit proximity of the transport provider device.
A system for verifying a shared journey between a transport user and a transport provider in a shared transport system, comprising:
- at least one memory storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor operatively connected to the at least one memory, and configured to execute the instructions to perform operations, including;
- receiving, respective location information fro each of a transport provider device associated with the transport provider and a transport user device associated with the transport user;
- and
- comparing the respective location information received from the transport user device and from the transport provider device;
- determining, based on the comparison of the respective location information, whether the transport user device is within transit proximity of the transport provider device;
- and
- one or more of determining or updating a shared transport status of a transport vehicle associated with the transport provider based on whether the transport user device is within transit proximity of the transport provider device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instruction for verifying a shared journey between a transport user and a transport provider in a shared transport system, the instructions executable by at least one processor to perform operations, including:
- receiving, from time to time, respective location information from each of a transport provider device associated with the transport provider and a transport user device associated with the transport user;
- and
- comparing the respective location information received from the transport user device and from the transport provider device;
- determining, based on the comparison of the respective location information, whether the transport user device is within transit proximity of the transport provider device;
- and
- one or more of determining or updating a shared transport status of a transport vehicle associated with the transport provider based on whether the transport user device is within transit proximity of the transport provider device.
