Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of taxi operations, and specifically to a taxi hailing method and device, an electronic device, a readable storage medium and a chip. Background Art

[0002] At present, taxis are mainly booked by hailing on the roadside. In actual use, when passengers cannot see the taxi, they do not know when they can get in the taxi, which makes them anxious. At the same time, they cannot communicate with the taxi driver before seeing the taxi, so the user hailing experience is poor. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a taxi hailing method and device, an electronic device, a readable storage medium and a chip, which can solve the problem of poor taxi-hailing experience for passengers.

[0004] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a taxi hailing method for a taxi, the method comprising: determining the operating status and location information of the taxi through the taxi meter; obtaining the passenger location information corresponding to the passenger mobile terminal; determining at least one recommended taxi corresponding to the passenger location information; responding to a call instruction issued by the passenger mobile terminal, determining the taxi corresponding to the call instruction; and establishing a ride association between the passenger mobile terminal and the taxi.

[0005] On the second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a taxi hailing device for a taxi, comprising: a vehicle confirmation module, used to determine the operating status and location information of the taxi through the taxi meter; a positioning module, used to obtain the passenger positioning information corresponding to the passenger mobile terminal; a screening module, used to determine at least one recommended taxi corresponding to the passenger positioning information; a calling module, used to respond to a calling instruction issued by the passenger mobile terminal, and determine the taxi corresponding to the calling instruction; and a boarding module, used to establish a boarding association between the passenger mobile terminal and the taxi.

[0006] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a processor, a memory, and a program or instruction stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the program or instruction, when executed by the processor, implements the steps of the method of the first aspect.

[0007] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a readable storage medium, on which a program or instruction is stored, and when the program or instruction is executed by a processor, the steps of the method of the first aspect are implemented.

[0008] In a fifth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a chip, the chip including a processor and a communication interface, the communication interface and the processor are coupled, and the processor is used to run programs or instructions to implement the steps of the method of the first aspect.

[0009] In the embodiment of the present application, the efficiency and experience of traditional taxi services are improved through a digital taxi hailing system. The system realizes effective communication and matching between passengers and drivers, thereby solving the two main problems in the traditional hailing method, namely waiting anxiety and difficulty in contacting drivers. Specifically, the operating status and location information of the taxi are determined through the taxi meter, and the working status (empty or loaded) and accurate location of the taxi are understood in real time, ensuring that the system can accurately recommend nearby empty taxis and improve the accuracy of dispatching. Then, by obtaining the passenger positioning information corresponding to the passenger mobile terminal, the current location of the passenger can be determined. Among them, the passenger mobile terminal can be a mobile phone, tablet or other device logged in by the passenger user.

[0010] Based on the previously determined passenger location information, suitable taxis are screened and recommended to the passengers.

[0011] Finally, by responding to the call instruction issued by the passenger's mobile terminal, the taxi corresponding to the call instruction is determined, and the specific taxi to be contacted is determined according to the passenger's choice. Establishing a connection between the passenger and the driver facilitates communication and itinerary arrangement, allowing both parties to communicate in a timely manner, and improving the certainty and convenience of riding.

[0012] The system has driver-side and passenger-side applications, which can be set on a mobile phone or in the car computer. The driver-side is connected to the taxi meter status: real-time taxi status and location information is obtained to ensure the accuracy of system data. The driver-side is connected to the mobile phone via a data cable or Bluetooth to realize the in-car phone function, which is convenient for the driver to answer the phone while driving and improves safety. The system recommends vehicles based on the predicted overlap between the direction of empty vehicle travel and the passenger position, improves the accuracy and rationality of the recommendation, and reduces the driver's empty driving distance.

[0013] Passengers can view vehicle-related information through the passenger terminal.

[0014] Among them, there are two types of calls: ordinary calls and voice calls, which meet the needs of different passengers and drivers and provide more communication options.

[0015] If the driver and passenger do not match, the system will re-assign the order in rotation, ensuring that passengers can find the right vehicle as quickly as possible and improving service efficiency.

[0016] Through the above processes and functions, the digital taxi hailing system can effectively improve the convenience, matching efficiency and communication experience of traditional taxi services. Passengers can find suitable taxis and communicate with drivers more quickly, while drivers can reduce safety risks caused by mobile phone operations through integration with the meter and vehicle computer system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0021] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 8 , the taxi hailing method and device, electronic device, readable storage medium and chip provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0022] This embodiment provides a taxi hailing method for a taxi, specifically: Figure 1 As shown, including: Step S102: determining the operating status and location information of the taxi through the taxi meter; Step S104: Acquire the passenger location information corresponding to the passenger mobile terminal; Step S106: determining at least one recommended taxi corresponding to the passenger location information; Step S108: In response to the calling instruction sent by the passenger's mobile terminal, determining a taxi corresponding to the calling instruction; Step S110: Establishing a ride association between the passenger mobile terminal and the taxi.

[0023] The taxi hailing method provided in this embodiment improves the efficiency and experience of traditional taxi services through a digital hailing system. The system realizes effective communication and matching between passengers and drivers, thereby solving the two main problems in the traditional hailing method, namely, waiting anxiety and difficulty in contacting drivers. Specifically, the operating status and location information of the taxi are determined through the taxi meter, and the working status (empty or loaded) and accurate location of the taxi are understood in real time, ensuring that the system can accurately recommend nearby empty taxis and improve the accuracy of dispatching. Then, by obtaining the passenger positioning information corresponding to the passenger mobile terminal, the current location of the passenger can be determined. Among them, the passenger mobile terminal can be a mobile phone, tablet or other device logged in by the passenger user.

[0024] Based on the previously determined passenger location information, suitable taxis are screened and recommended to the passengers.

[0025] Finally, by responding to the call instruction issued by the passenger's mobile terminal, the taxi corresponding to the call instruction is determined, and the specific taxi to be contacted is determined according to the passenger's choice. Establishing a connection between the passenger and the driver facilitates communication and itinerary arrangement, allowing both parties to communicate in a timely manner, and improving the certainty and convenience of riding.

[0026] The system has driver-side and passenger-side applications, which can be set on a mobile phone or in the car computer. The driver-side is connected to the taxi meter status: real-time taxi status and location information is obtained to ensure the accuracy of system data. The driver-side is connected to the mobile phone via a data cable or Bluetooth to realize the in-car phone function, which is convenient for the driver to answer the phone while driving and improves safety. The system recommends vehicles based on the predicted overlap between the direction of empty vehicle travel and the passenger position, improves the accuracy and rationality of the recommendation, and reduces the driver's empty driving distance.

[0027] Passengers can view vehicle-related information through the passenger terminal.

[0028] Among them, there are two types of calls: ordinary calls and voice calls, which meet the needs of different passengers and drivers and provide more communication options.

[0029] If the driver and passenger do not match, the system will re-assign the order in rotation, ensuring that passengers can find the right vehicle as quickly as possible and improving service efficiency.

[0030] Furthermore, the driver side is connected to the taxi meter status, and the system can obtain the taxi's operating status (empty or loaded) and location in real time. The system can automatically filter out empty taxis to avoid recommending loaded vehicles to passengers, thereby improving matching accuracy. At the same time, through the synchronization of location information, passengers can get a more accurate estimated arrival time.

[0031] By obtaining the passenger location information corresponding to the passenger's mobile terminal, specifically, the passenger-side system can obtain the passenger's location information in real time through the Global Positioning System (GPS). The system will select nearby unladen taxis based on the passenger's location, and recommend the most suitable vehicle based on the predicted coincidence between the empty vehicle's travel direction and the passenger's location.

[0032] Through intelligent matching algorithms, passengers’ waiting time is reduced, especially when traffic is busy, the system can predict the most suitable taxi by the direction of empty taxis. This method avoids passengers missing the opportunity of nearby empty taxis and improves the efficiency of hailing.

[0033] Passengers can view relevant information about the vehicle in the system, including license plate number, model, driving direction, and driver service status. Passengers can learn about the upcoming taxi information in advance, which increases the certainty and security of the ride. This transparent service display helps to enhance passengers' sense of trust and reduce anxiety caused by uncertainty.

[0034] There is even a built-in calling option, where passengers can call a suitable taxi through the system with one click, and the driver will receive a notification to remind them that the passenger has made a call. After that, the driver can contact the passenger by phone through the system, which simplifies the traditional hailing process. Passengers do not need to rely on roadside hailing or frequently call multiple drivers. The whole process becomes simple and fast, especially suitable for hailing needs in emergency situations.

[0035] Passengers can choose between two ways of making calls - regular phone calls or voice calls built into the system. Regular phone calls are made directly from the passenger's mobile phone to the driver's mobile phone, which is then connected to the vehicle computer system; voice calls are made through the network to communicate with the vehicle computer.

[0036] Passengers and drivers can communicate directly through the mobile communication system when the network signal is poor, ensuring the stability of communication.

[0037] If both passengers and drivers are in a good network environment, they can use the system's built-in voice call to reduce passengers' call costs and improve the overall user experience of the system.

[0038] If the driver and the passenger do not match due to location or direction, the system will re-match the passenger with a suitable driver based on the degree of convenience and distance, and automatically establish a new connection, avoiding the situation in which the driver and the passenger frequently contact but fail to match in the traditional hailing method, improving the success rate of matching and optimizing the user experience of the entire process. Through the intelligent dispatching system, passengers can find the right taxi faster and reduce the time wasted on both sides.

[0039] Through the above processes and functions, the digital taxi hailing system can effectively improve the convenience, matching efficiency and communication experience of traditional taxi services. Passengers can find suitable taxis and communicate with drivers faster, while drivers can reduce safety risks caused by mobile phone operations through integration with the meter and vehicle computer system. In addition, the rematching mechanism and diversified communication methods further enhance the flexibility and efficiency between drivers and passengers. This not only improves the user experience of passengers, but also helps drivers to accept orders and provide services more efficiently and safely.

[0040] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, it also includes: Step S109: Determine the taxi vehicle equipment and the driver's mobile terminal corresponding to the call instruction; Establishing a ride association between the passenger's mobile terminal and the taxi, specifically including: Step S1102: establishing a voice communication connection between the passenger's mobile terminal and the driver's mobile terminal, and displaying the voice communication connection through the taxi's onboard equipment; or Step S1104: Establish a voice communication connection between the passenger mobile terminal and the taxi vehicle equipment.

[0041] In this embodiment, through voice communication connection, the interaction between passengers and drivers is more direct and convenient, which improves the user experience and prevents passengers from directly calling the driver's private phone during driving, protecting the driver's privacy and ensuring the safety of the call process. Through the display and connection of vehicle equipment, the driver's phone operation during driving is simplified and interference is reduced.

[0042] Specifically, by determining the taxi on-board equipment and the driver's mobile terminal corresponding to the call instruction, after the passenger issues a call instruction, the system needs to confirm the specific taxi (including its on-board equipment) and the driver's mobile terminal to ensure that the passenger can contact the correct driver and that the driver can answer the passenger's call in time, thereby improving the accuracy of the match.

[0043] Among them, the association between the passenger mobile terminal and the taxi ride mainly includes establishing a voice communication connection between the passenger mobile terminal and the driver's mobile terminal. In this solution, the passenger's mobile terminal is directly connected to the driver's mobile terminal. The passenger can communicate directly with the driver to inquire about the vehicle's arrival time, driving route, etc., to improve the riding experience. The voice communication connection status is displayed through the taxi's on-board equipment, so that the driver can understand the call situation more intuitively.

[0044] The association between the passenger mobile terminal and the taxi ride can also include establishing a voice communication connection between the passenger mobile terminal and the taxi's on-board equipment. The passenger can talk directly to the taxi's on-board equipment through the Internet, avoiding the use of the driver's private phone and protecting the driver's privacy. At the same time, the passenger can communicate directly with the vehicle, inquire about the itinerary or confirm the location, etc.

[0045] In this solution, the passengers' taxi-hailing experience can be greatly improved, while the driver's operation can be reduced to ensure driving safety. The entire system enhances the interactivity and safety of taxi-hailing services through intelligent processing, providing users with a more efficient and convenient travel solution.

[0046] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, determining at least one recommended taxi corresponding to the passenger location information specifically includes: step S1062: determining multiple pre-selected taxis that are within the screening range corresponding to the passenger location information and whose operating status is in an empty state; step S1064: determining at least one recommended taxi based on the driving direction of the pre-selected taxis and the passenger location information.

[0047] In this embodiment, when screening taxis, a plurality of pre-selected taxis that are within the screening range corresponding to the passenger's location information and are in an empty operating state are first determined. A screening range is determined according to the passenger's current location, and taxis in an empty state are searched within the range to narrow the search range, improve the accuracy and efficiency of the recommendation, and only recommend nearby available taxis to the passenger.

[0048] Then, at least one recommended taxi is determined based on the driving direction of the pre-selected taxi and the passenger's location information. The relationship between the driving direction of the pre-selected taxi and the passenger's location is further analyzed, and the most suitable taxi is selected for recommendation. Considering the driving direction of the taxi can improve the rationality of the recommendation, reduce the driver's idle driving distance, and also pick up passengers faster, thereby improving overall service efficiency.

[0049] The system can set a reasonable radius or area as the screening range based on the passenger's location information. This range can be adjusted according to actual conditions to balance the accuracy and quantity of recommendations.

[0050] By connecting to the taxi meter or other data sources, the system can obtain the operating status of the taxi in real time. Only taxis that are empty will be considered for recommendation.

[0051] The system uses map data or other algorithms to determine the direction of travel for the pre-selected taxi. The taxi's current location, route, and destination may be considered to assess its overlap or proximity to the passenger's location.

[0052] According to the matching degree between the driving direction and the passenger's position, the system can sort the pre-selected taxis and select the most suitable one or more taxis as recommendations to the passenger. The number of recommendations can also be adjusted as needed.

[0053] This design ensures that the taxis recommended to passengers are not only close in distance, but also in a direction that matches the passengers' itinerary, thereby improving the efficiency and satisfaction of taxi hailing. At the same time, by updating the status and location information of taxis in real time, the system can dynamically adjust the recommendation results to adapt to traffic conditions and the real-time distribution of taxis.

[0054] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, establishing a ride association between the passenger mobile terminal and the taxi specifically includes: Step S1122: in response to the matching request of the passenger's mobile terminal, if the driver user corresponding to the taxi agrees to the matching, a ride association is established; Step S1124: In response to the matching request from the passenger's mobile terminal, if the driver user corresponding to the taxi refuses the matching, the matching request is sent to at least one pre-selected taxi.

[0055] In this embodiment, when establishing a ride association, after the passenger initiates a matching request, the system will wait for the driver user's response. If the driver agrees to match, the system will establish a ride association between the passenger and the taxi, ensuring that both the driver and the passenger agree to establish the connection, thereby improving the accuracy of the match and the satisfaction of both parties.

[0056] If the driver rejects the matching request, the system will send the request to other pre-selected taxis to find other suitable vehicles, increase the passenger's chance of finding a suitable taxi, reduce waiting time, and improve the efficiency of taking a taxi.

[0057] The passenger sends a matching request through the mobile terminal, and the system passes the request to the corresponding taxi driver user. The driver user can receive and process the request on his terminal.

[0058] The driver user can choose to agree or reject the matching request. The system will take appropriate actions based on the driver's response.

[0059] If the driver agrees to the match, the system will establish a connection between the passenger and the taxi. This may include recording relevant information in the system, such as the passenger and taxi identification, trip information, etc.

[0060] If the driver refuses the match, the system sends the match request to other pre-selected taxis. This can be achieved by reassigning or pushing the request in the system.

[0061] This design can flexibly handle the matching between drivers and passengers, ensuring that if the driver refuses, the passenger still has the opportunity to find other suitable taxis. At the same time, it also respects the driver's choice and improves the autonomy and satisfaction of both parties.

[0062] like Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a taxi hailing device 900 for a taxi. The taxi hailing device 900 includes a vehicle confirmation module 901 , a positioning module 902 , a screening module 903 , a calling module 904 , and a boarding module 905 .

[0064] This embodiment can determine the operating status and location information of the taxi through the taxi meter, and understand the working status (empty or loaded) and accurate location of the taxi in real time, so as to ensure that the system can accurately recommend nearby empty taxis and improve the accuracy of dispatching. Then, by obtaining the passenger positioning information corresponding to the passenger mobile terminal, the current location of the passenger can be determined. Among them, the passenger mobile terminal can be a mobile phone, tablet or other device logged in by the passenger user.

[0065] Based on the previously determined passenger location information, suitable taxis are screened and recommended to the passengers.

[0066] Finally, by responding to the call instruction issued by the passenger's mobile terminal, the taxi corresponding to the call instruction is determined, and the specific taxi to be contacted is determined according to the passenger's choice. Establishing a connection between the passenger and the driver facilitates communication and itinerary arrangement, allowing both parties to communicate in a timely manner, and improving the certainty and convenience of riding.

[0067] Alternatively, if Figure 6 As shown, it also includes: a driver device determination module 906, which is used to determine the taxi vehicle equipment and the driver's mobile terminal corresponding to the call instruction; the boarding module is also used to establish a voice communication connection between the passenger mobile terminal and the driver's mobile terminal, and display the voice communication connection through the taxi vehicle equipment; or establish a voice communication connection between the passenger mobile terminal and the taxi vehicle equipment.
