Abstract
A system for determining the need for, and providing, a home share and corresponding transport service when a user's flight has been cancelled or significantly delayed is disclosed. When a user's flight is cancelled or significantly delayed, a user is provided a list of home shares to utilize for the night, along with corresponding transport service to each of the home shares. This list can be arranged and filtered by price, time of arrival, etc.
Claims14
A method of programmatically determining information in connection with a transport service and a home share service based on flight status, the method being performed by a computing system and comprising:
- determining, by the computing system, the need for a home share and a corresponding transport service for a user when a flight has been cancelled or significantly delayed;
- determining, by the computing system, a list of one or more home shares from one or more home share services for the user to utilize;
- determining, by the computing system, a list of transport services to be provided by a driver to take the user to any of the one or more home shares;
- sending, by the computing system, the listing of home shares and corresponding transport services to a user device,
- wherein the user selects the desired home share and corresponding transport service to the home share;
- arranging, by the computing system, the desired home share from the home share service and corresponding transport service to the home share;
- and
- sending, by the computing system, the data from the selected home share service and corresponding transport service to the user device,
- wherein the driver is provided the location of the user,
- wherein the user is connected to the transport service to track the driver, and
- wherein the driver is provided the location of the home share.

A method comprising:
- receiving a request from a user for service from a user device;
- transmitting the request to a computing system;
- determining, by the computing system, the availability of home shares and corresponding transport services for the user;
- determining, by the computing system, a list of one or more home shares from one or more home share services for the user to utilize;
- determining, by the computing system, a list of transport services to be provided by a driver to take the user to any of the one or more home shares;
- sending, by the computing system, the listing of home shares and corresponding transport services to the user device,
- wherein the user selects the desired home share and corresponding transport service to the home share on the user device;
- arranging, by the computing system, the desired home share from the home share service and corresponding transport service to the home share;
- and
- sending, by the computing system, the data from the selected home share service and corresponding transport service to the user device,
- wherein the driver is provided the location of the user,
- wherein the user is connected to the transport service to track the driver, and
- wherein the driver is provided the location of the home share.
10 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:
- determine, by the computing system, the need for a home share and a corresponding transport service for a user when a flight has been cancelled or significantly delayed;
- determine, by the computing system, a list of one or more home shares from one or more home share services for the user to utilize;
- determine, by the computing system, a list of transport services to be provided by a driver to take the user to any of the one or more home shares;
- send, by the computing system, the listing of home shares and corresponding transport services to a user device,
- wherein the user selects the desired home share and corresponding transport service to the home share on the user device;
- arrange the desired home share from the home share service and corresponding transport service to the home share in response to receiving the selection of home share and corresponding transport service;
- send, by the computing system, the data from the selected home share service and corresponding transport service to the user device,
- wherein the driver is provided the location of the user,
- wherein the user is connected to the transport service to track the driver, and
- wherein the driver is provided the location of the home share.
