Claims38
A platform for securing a conveyance service for transportation from a first geographical location to at least one second geographical location of a client order comprising a good or a service using an autonomous vehicle (AV), wherein the AV is a self-governing machine that performs the conveyance service unaided by a human operator, the platform comprising:
- one or more external server in communication with a network and associated with a business entity that provides goods or services, the one or more external server comprising a source of conveyance service offerings (CSOs), the CSOs comprising conveyance data including information relating to fulfillment of the client order, the conveyance data comprising one or more of a conveyance service detail, an estimated time of arrival (ETA), and a vehicle detail, wherein the CSOs are dynamically updated;
- a central server in communication with the network, the central server configured for receiving the CSOs from the one or more external server and one or a combination of geographical location data and vehicle-related data;
- an application in communication with the network, the application configured for receiving a client preference;
- a terminal in communication with the network, the terminal having an input device;
- a display device associated with the terminal, the display device configured to display information associated with the conveyance service;
- wherein one or a combination of the central server and the application is automated in whole or in part and further configured to standardize and aggregate at least a portion of the CSOs and after standardizing and aggregating:
- (a) filter, in any order, at least a portion of the CSOs using one or a combination of the client preference, the ETA, the vehicle-related data, and the geographical location data to identify a filtered subset of CSOs;
- (b) identify one or more preferred CSO from the filtered subset of CSOs using one or a combination of the client preference, the ETA, the vehicle-related data, and the geographical location data;
- (c) generate on the display device a visual representation associated with one or more of a map having a vehicle marker indicating an AV location and one or more selectable offering options (SOOs) comprising one or a combination of the one or more preferred CSO and the filtered subset of CSOs;
- (d) dynamically update the visual representation to reflect changes in one or a combination of the one or more SOOs, the conveyance data, the map, and the AV location;
- (e) secure the conveyance service associated with the one or more SOOs to define a secured conveyance service;
- and (e)
- (f) identify a route associated with the secured conveyance service comprising at least the first geographical location and the at least one second geographical location to perform the secured conveyance service and communicate instructions to the AV, wherein the instructions comprise the route;
- wherein the AV receives the instructions via the network and follows the route to perform the secured conveyance service unaided by a human operator.

A method using a platform within a network for securing a conveyance service for conveyance from a first geographical location to at least one second geographical location of a client order comprising a good or a service using an autonomous vehicle (AV), wherein the AV is a self-governing machine that performs the conveyance service unaided by a human operator, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving within one or a combination of an application and a central server in communication with the network, one or a combination of, in any order:
- (i) conveyance service offerings (CSOs) from one or more external server associated with a business entity that provides goods or services, the CSOs comprising conveyance data comprising information relating to fulfillment of the client order, the conveyance data comprising one or more of a conveyance service detail, an estimated time of arrival (ETA), and a vehicle detail, wherein the CSOs are dynamically updated;
- (ii) geographical location data;
- (iii) a client preference;
- and
- (iv) vehicle-related data;
- (b) processing at least a portion of the CSOs by:
- (i) standardizing and aggregating at least a portion of the CSOs;
- (ii) filtering, in any order, at least a portion of the CSOs using one or a combination of the client preference, the ETA, the vehicle-related data, and the geographical location data to identify a filtered subset of CSOs;
- and
- (iii) identifying one or more preferred CSO from the filtered subset of CSOs using one or a combination of the client preference, the ETA, the vehicle-related data, and the geographical location data;
- (c) generating on a display device of a terminal, a visual representation associated with one or more of a map having a vehicle marker indicating an AV location and one or more selectable offering options (SOOs) comprising one or a combination of the one or more preferred CSO and the filtered subset of CSOs;
- (d) dynamically updating the visual representation to reflect changes in one or a combination of the one or more SOOs, the conveyance data, the map, and the AV location;
- (e) securing the conveyance service associated with the one or more SOOs to define a secured conveyance service;
- and
- (f) identifying a route associated with the secured conveyance service comprising at least the first geographical location and the at least one second geographical location to perform the secured conveyance service and communicating instructions to the AV, wherein the instructions comprise the route;
- wherein the AV receives the instructions via the network and follows the route to perform the secured conveyance service unaided by a human operator.
