Embodiment Construction

[0023]In one aspect, the inventive disclosure provided herein generally relates to systems and methods for authenticating ride share drivers using a biometric sensor. When a driver initially registers with the rideshare service, the driver is prompted to provide biometric information via a mobile app running on the driver's mobile device. The biometric information is then stored in a database with a ride share management server in a file associated with the driver's account. Subsequently, when the driver expresses an offer to provide a ride share trip, the server performs an authentication check based on the pre-stored biometric information. Particularly, the driver provides his or her biometric information to the ride share management server via a mobile application on the driver's mobile device. This information is then checked against the stored biometric information in the networked database to authenticate the identity of the driver. If authenticated, the driver receives pick-u...

Abstract

Systems and methods according to which a mobile application is running on a driver's mobile device for authenticating ride share drivers. When a driver initially registers with a rideshare service, the driver is prompted to provide biometric information via a mobile app running on the driver's mobile device. The biometric information is then stored in a database with a ride share management server in a file associated with the driver's account. Subsequently, when the driver expresses an offer to provide a ride share trip, the server performs an authentication check based on the pre-stored biometric information. Furthermore, the system discloses herein facilitates increased rideshare revenue generation by creating referral chains for a driver when a previously-registered driver, or an affiliate of the rideshare service refers a proposed new driver to the rideshare service and the proposed new driver then registers with the rideshare service.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This disclosure incorporates by reference the disclosure provided in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 124,196, entitled “UrDrivers Application,” filed Dec. 11, 2014.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present disclosure relates generally to vehicle rideshares. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for facilitating vehicle rideshare involving a computerized hierarchical driver referral system and a biometric scan-based authentication of a rideshare driver's identity.BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY[0003]Historically, passengers who do not wish to drive or use public transportation use taxi cabs to travel from one place to another. Recently, rideshare systems have become available as another source of transportation. Typically passengers request a ride from a driver by using an app on the passenger's mobile device. The mobile app communicates with a server managed by a rideshare system or service and pr...
