Solution Overview

Problem

Rideshare services currently lack the ability to personalize user experiences based on individual ride data, leading to potential dissatisfaction due to factors like excessive stops, traffic, and unpleasant co-passengers, which can affect user satisfaction and engagement.

Innovation Solution

The system analyzes user experience data to adjust ride behaviors, such as limiting stops, dynamically pricing rides, suggesting optimal routes, and matching users for improved experiences, by recording and analyzing ride experience data to provide personalized services.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If rideshare services use group ridesharing to reduce fares, then cost efficiency is improved, but user satisfaction deteriorates due to excessive stops and unpleasant co-passengers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecost efficiencyVSAvoiduser satisfaction
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different quality standards to different users by analyzing their individual ride experience data. Users who have experienced excessive stops or unpleasant co-passengers are identified and given personalized adjustments, such as being matched with different co-passengers or having their routes optimized to minimize stops, while maintaining group ridesharing benefits for other users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes ride parameters (such as number of stops, co-passenger assignments, and routing) based on analyzed user experience data. When a user experiences dissatisfaction factors like excessive stops or unpleasant co-passengers, the system adjusts these parameters for their next ride to improve satisfaction while preserving cost efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If rideshare services implement personalized user experiences based on individual ride data, then user satisfaction is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser satisfactionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically analyzes user ride experience data and implements personalized adjustments without requiring manual intervention. The analysis service autonomously identifies dissatisfaction factors and adjusts future ride parameters, reducing the need for complex manual configuration while improving user satisfaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from user ride experiences to continuously improve service quality. By analyzing past ride data including stops, co-passenger interactions, and routing, the system learns from user experiences and adjusts future rides accordingly, creating a self-improving system that manages complexity through data-driven automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present technology pertains to providing an improved user experience for user accounts taking group rideshare rides. In some aspects of the present technology, a rideshare service can use ride experience data relating to a group rideshare ride experience by a user account to determine that a user associated with the user account might have reason to be dissatisfied with the group rideshare ride, and can compensate the user account. In some aspects of the present technology, a rideshare service can proactively suggest a group rideshare itinerary to a user account when the group itinerary matches a previous itinerary arranged by the user account, and the suggested group rideshare itinerary can be offered at a preferred charge. In some aspects of the present technology, a rideshare service can permit a user account to create an organized carpool ride with other invited user accounts.
