Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to receive a transportation request from a traveler. The processor is also configured to determine that an aspect of the transportation request corresponds to a predefined condition requiring approval from a predefined non-traveler person before processing the transportation request. The processor is further configured to send an approval request to the non-traveler person and block execution of the transportation request until approval is received from the non-traveler person.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive a transportation request from a traveler;
- determine that an aspect of the transportation request corresponds to a predefined condition requiring approval from a predefined non-traveler person before processing the transportation request;
- send an approval request to the non-traveler person;
- and
- block execution of the transportation request until approval is received from the non-traveler person.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- delaying execution of a travel request from a traveler, which includes at least one parameter corresponding to predefined parameters requiring predefined non-traveling party approval, until approval is received from the non-traveling party, responsive to an approval request sent responsive to identifying the at least one parameter.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a ride-hailing request;
- determining if an aspect of the ride-hailing request corresponds to a predefined parameter requiring approval, from a predefined guardian, to process the request;
- sending an electronic approval request to the guardian responsive to the determining;
- and
- delaying execution of the request until the guardian responds, with approval, to the approval request.
