Pickup and Drop-off Location Identification for Ridesharing and Delivery Via Augmented Reality - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240331215 titled 'Pickup and Drop-off Location Identification for Ridesharing and Delivery Via Augmented Reality
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system where a server device coordinates ridesharing services by providing a pickup location to both the rider and the driver through their client devices, using augmented reality to assist in finding the pickup location.
- The server device receives a request for ridesharing services.
- The request is broadcasted to drivers, and one driver accepts the request.
- The pickup location is provided to the rider and driver on a map display.
- When the rider or driver is close to the pickup location, the client device switches to augmented reality mode.
- Real-world imagery is overlaid with information to help the rider or driver locate the pickup location.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Coordination of ridesharing services through a server device.
- Use of augmented reality to assist in finding pickup locations.
- Real-time communication between the server, rider, and driver.
- Integration of map displays and camera views on client devices.
- Efficient and user-friendly system for ridesharing services.
Potential Applications:
- Transportation services
- Logistics and delivery services
- Navigation and location-based services
- Augmented reality applications
- Mobile app development
Problems Solved:
- Difficulty in locating pickup locations in ridesharing services.
- Lack of real-time communication between riders and drivers.
- Inefficient coordination of transportation services.
- Limited use of augmented reality in practical applications.
- User experience challenges in finding precise locations.
Benefits:
- Enhanced user experience in ridesharing services.
- Improved efficiency in coordinating transportation services.
- Real-time communication and updates for riders and drivers.
- Innovative use of augmented reality for practical purposes.
- Increased accuracy in locating pickup locations.
Commercial Applications: Augmented Reality Pickup Location System for Transportation Services: Enhancing User Experience and Efficiency
Questions about Augmented Reality Pickup Location System: 1. How does the system ensure the safety and security of riders and drivers during the pickup process? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing augmented reality technology for pickup locations in transportation services?
Original Abstract Submitted
to present a pickup location in a transportation service, a server device receives a request for ridesharing services from a rider's current location to a drop-off location. the server device broadcasts the request to drivers and receives an indication of acceptance of the request from one of the drivers. then the server device provides a pickup location to the rider and the driver which is presented in a map display of the rider and driver's client devices. when the rider or driver's current location is within a threshold distance of the pickup location, the corresponding client device switches to an augmented reality mode and presents a camera view from a camera of the client device depicting real-world imagery. the server device provides information to the corresponding client device to present in the augmented reality mode overlaying the real-world imagery to assist the rider or driver in finding the pickup location.
