Abstract

A computer-implemented method for automatically managing the ordering and dispatching of livery car services without a need for a human dispatcher includes operating a central computer server to manage orders initiated by registered livery car service clients and dispatching registered livery car drivers to execute the client orders through an automatic exchange of Internet-based electronic communications comprising predefined electronic message forms or attachments without a need for a human dispatcher. The method also includes registered clients electronically communicating with the central computer server over the Internet to electronically order livery car services by use of a predefined electronic message order form or attachment and registered drivers electronically communicating with the central computer server over the Internet to receive dispatch instructions comprising predefined electronic message forms or attachments relating to the pick-up and delivery of an ordering client. The steps of operating and electronically communicating are executed without a need for human interaction.

a central computer server programmed to automatically respond to Internet-based electronic communications received from client and livery car driver communication means, including generating and transmitting Internet-based electronic communications to both the client and livery car driver communication means to manage and coordinate the ordering and dispatching of the livery car services;
wherein each client and each livery car driver electronically connects to the central computer sever to register with the livery car service including transmitting specific registration information using respective client and driver communication means, and wherein a subprogram or agent is sent by the central computer server to the respective client and driver communication means upon registration acceptance, which subprogram or agent enables the respective client and driver communication means to transmit and receive required client and required livery driver information from the central computer server in such a way that the ordering and dispatching of livery car services is automatically managed without a need for a human dispatcher.
