Computer assisted goods and services transport sharing and delivery

Abstract

A method and a device are disclosed including network-based remote servers and services offered to enable multiple remote unassociated users of computing devices to seek and offer goods and services using shared transportation. A Goods Transport Sharing (GTS) and delivery system may allow a user to request, via an app on a computing device, delivery of goods, sometimes person-to-person. The GTS also allows other users to register as transportation service providers. The GTS matches a requester to a transporter to conduct a business transaction. The GTS allows multi-hop shared transportation and also pickup and delivery from and to third-party participants distinct from the requester. The GTS may further enable ordering of goods from online and delivery of the same goods from a local store. The transportation may span the whole globe and is not limited to a city. The transporter may also perform services distinct from the transportation service.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
