Abstract
A hardware system enables computer network interaction between network identity services and account-based service applications. In some examples, the network identity service biometrically identifies people. The network identity services and/or account-based service applications interact to exchange data in order to monitor, track, initiate, and/or cooperatively and/or individually perform various functions while protecting data that should not be shared and minimizing communication network usage and hardware and software resources. This interaction enables both to accomplish more and different tasks than they could individually while improving operational efficiency of hardware and software components of both.
Claims20
A method for enrolling a person on an account-based rideshare service, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a server, identification information of the person during screening before a flight;
- transmitting, by the server, the identification information of the person to a network identity service over a computer network, the network identity service storing identity information for multiple people;
- receiving, at the server, identity information for the person from the network identity service, based on the identification information;
- determining, by the server, that the person is not an account-holder associated with the account-based rideshare service, based on the identity information;
- and
- transmitting, by the server, a message to an electronic device of the person, the message including an offer to enroll the person with an account on an application for the account-based rideshare service using the identity information;
- wherein the application interacts with the network identity service as part of an open authorization interaction that performs a limited login between the network identity service and the application, the performance of the limited login directed by the person.
A method of enrolling a person on a network identity service, the method comprising:
- receiving, at an application for an account-based rideshare service instantiated on an electronic device of the person, a request for a ride to an airport for the person;
- retrieving identification information associated with the person;
- transmitting the identification information of the person to a network identity service over a computer network, the network identity service storing identity information for multiple people;
- receiving, from the network identity service, a determination, based on the identification information, that the identification information associated with the person cannot be matched to identity information for any one of the multiple people stored in the network identity service;
- and
- displaying, on the application instantiated on the electronic device of the person, an offer to enroll the person with a membership on the network identity service;
- wherein the application interacts with the network identity service as part of an open authorization interaction that performs a limited login between the network identity service and the application, the performance of the limited login directed by the person.
A method comprising:
- receiving, at an application for an account-based rideshare service instantiated on an electronic device of a person, a request for a ride to an airport for the person;
- retrieving identification information associated with the person;
- transmitting the identification information of the person to a network identity service over a computer network, the network identity service storing identity information for multiple people;
- receiving, from the network identity service, a determination, based on the identification information, that the identification information associated with the person matches with identity information of at least one of the multiple people stored in the network identity service;
- displaying, on the application instantiated on the electronic device of the person, directions to guide the person towards a station associated with the network identity service upon arrival at the airport;
- receiving one or more notifications, from the electronic device of the person, that the person passed screening and boarded a flight from the airport;
- and
- facilitating a ride for the person upon arrival of the flight, via the application for the account-based rideshare service;
- wherein the application interacts with the network identity service as part of an open authorization interaction that performs a limited login between the network identity service and the application, the performance of the limited login directed by the person.
