Embodiment Construction

[0009] The systems and methods described below communicate service offers and acceptance of those offers between wireless devices associated with communities defined by geo-fencing boundaries. Vehicle owners typically have planned trips with origins, destinations, and time windows during which the planned trips are performed for specific services. When a vehicle owner has seats available in his vehicle, the owner may want to offer those seats as a service to riders willing to travel the same trip during the same time window. Or when the service provided by the vehicle owner matches the service needed in the community and there is space in the vehicle, the vehicle owner can perform the service in the community for a fee. Vehicle owners can offer their planned trips to potential riders in the community who are likely to be interested in participating in the planned trip due to their geographic proximity.

[0010] A vehicle owner can enter details of one or more service offering...

Abstract

A system and method of communicating vehicle-based service offers between wireless devices includes: receiving, at a central facility, a location from a wireless device used by a potential service consumer; determining, at the central facility, a community from the received location, wherein the community represents a geofenced boundary the location exists within; associating the wireless device with the community in a database at the central facility; receiving at the central facility a service offer and a location or community from a second wireless device used by a vehicle owner; searching the database for the community associated with the second wireless device; determining that the community associated with the second wireless device is also associated with the wireless device in the database; and transmitting the service offer received from the second wireless device to the wireless device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to vehicles, and in particular to communicating vehicle availability between wireless devices located within geographic boundaries. Background technique [0002] Currently, individual vehicle owners use their vehicles as a means of transportation for personal purposes. These personal purposes include commuting to work, transporting children to and from one or more schools, or driving to a shopping mall to purchase various retail items. Many times, many people within a small block repeatedly travel the same trip for personal purposes, which results in excessive accumulated trips within the block while vehicles are only partially occupied. When vehicle owners are using the vehicle for personal or private purposes, those owners may not be aware that other people traveling to similar destinations at similar times are also in the partially occupied vehicle. At least some of the time, vehicle owners will benefit from trading r...
