US 2019/0297450 A1 · OPTIMIZING PICKUP LOCATIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION REQUESTS BASED ON CONTEXT INFORMATION

Abstract

The present application discloses an improved transportation matching system, and corresponding methods and computer-readable media. According to disclosed embodiments, a transportation matching system receives a session indicator and device-based location. The system utilizes the received request and device-based location to identify and analyze historical transportation matching system information. The system then generates a confidence score based on this information that indicates a level of confidence that the device-based location is a pickup location associated with the request. If the generated confidence score exceeds a predetermined threshold, the system provides display components to a requestor computing device that enable confirmation of the transportation request with a single user interaction.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computer device to:

display, by a requester device, a graphical user interface for selecting a pickup location for a transportation request, the graphical user interface comprising an interactive map and a user-selected location indicator indicating a location within the interactive map;
modify the location of the user-selected location indicator within the interactive map based on detecting a touch gesture directed to the graphical user interface;
and
while receiving the touch gesture and modifying the location of the user-selected location indicator within the interactive map, populate the interactive map with one or more potential pickup location indicators based on contextual information within a transportation system.
