In one embodiment, a driver device may be used to receive a ride request from one or more server computing devices for a third party rider. The driver device may receive information identifying the third party rider, including a password. Further, the driver device may transmit real time ride status information to the ride requestor directly or indirectly via the one or more server computing devices. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of providing a ride service for a third party in response to a ride request from a user ride requestor, comprising: receiving, by the driver device, a wireless ride request for a third party rider; receiving, by the driver device, information concerning the third party rider, the information including identification information for the third party rider; and displaying, on a driver device, the identification information for the third party rider and a pickup location for the third party rider. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the identification information for the third party rider includes instructions for the driver. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the identification information includes a visual representation of the third party rider. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the identification information includes a name of the third party rider. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the identification information includes a password. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying, on the driver device, interest information for the third party rider. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying, by the driver device, contact information for the user ride requestor. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising displaying, by the driver device, a list of scheduled rides for the driver. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying, in response to the user ride request and by the driver device, an interactive element which allows the driver to accept the user ride request. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying, in response to the user ride request and by the driver device, an interactive element which allows the driver to decline the user ride request. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising providing, by the driver device, one or more directions to the pickup location. ### Claim 12 A system for providing a ride service for a third party in response to a ride request from a user ride requestor, comprising: a driver device, including a processor to: receive a wireless ride request for a third party rider; receive information concerning the third party rider, the information including identification information for the third party rider; and display identification information for the third party rider and a pickup location for the third party rider. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the identification information for the third party rider includes instructions for the driver. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the identification includes a visual representation of the third party rider. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the processor further causes contact information for the user ride requestor to be displayed by the driver device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the processor further causes a list of scheduled rides to be displayed by the driver device. ### Claim 17 A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to: receive a wireless ride request made by a user ride requestor for a third party rider; receive information concerning the third party rider, the information including identification information for the third party rider; and display the identification information for the third party rider and a pickup location for the third party rider. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein the identification information includes a picture of the third party rider. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein the processor further causes display of contact information for the user ride requestor on a display device . ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein the processor further causes display of a list of scheduled rides for the driver on a display device.
