Embodiment Construction

[0012] In general, techniques of this disclosure may enable a computing system to infer (e.g., based on a user's calendar information, communication information, and other information for a computing device) when a user may need an "on-demand transportation service" (or, for brevity, "Transportation Services") to travel between locations. Examples of on-demand transportation services include any transportation service, whether commercially owned, privately owned, publicly owned, government-owned, military-owned, or owned and / or organized by any bodily Vehicles (e.g., automobiles, railway vehicles, metro vehicles, trams, trams, buses, taxis, coaches, monorails, airplanes, ferries, boats, ships, water taxis, unmanned vehicles, or any other type of transportation vehicle) to respond to an individual request to carry one or more passengers from one geographic location to another. As used herein, the terms "on-demand transportation service" and "transportation service" refer to a ...

Abstract

A system is described that infers that a user will need to complete a trip and selects transportation services that the user can use to complete the trip. the system predicts when to request a vehicle associated with a transportation service for completing the trip such that the request has a sufficiently high degree of likelihood that the vehicle will arrive at a future location by the final departure time; the The final departure time is the last time the user is predicted to start traveling. In response to determining that the current time is within a threshold amount of time of the predicted time, the system sends a reservation request for a vehicle associated with the transportation service used to complete the trip to a reservation system associated with the transportation service.

Description

Background technique [0001] A user of a computing device may interact with an on-demand transportation service (eg, an online taxi service) to arrange instant transportation for traveling between locations. For example, a computing device may generate an alert when a user is leaving for an airport. In response to the alert, the user may interact with an application executing at the computing device to book a car for going to the airport from the current location. After a short wait, the car will arrive at the pickup location and the application can cause the computing device to output a notification informing the user that the car is waiting at the pickup location. [0002] Although on-demand transportation services provide some convenience (e.g., price, schedule flexibility, etc.), users still need to remember to interact with on-demand transportation services in a timely manner to ensure that vehicles associated with the service will arrive on time. customer location and p...
