20130132140 | DETERMINING A LOCATION RELATED TO ON-DEMAND SERVICES THROUGH USE OF PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICES - A method for determining a location relating to an on-demand service on a computing device is provided. One or more processors receiving a transport request from a user. The transport request specifies at least one of a pick-up region or a drop-off region. One or more locations of interests within the at least one of the pick-up region or the drop-off region are determined. Based on the at least one of the pick-up region or the drop-off region, one or more historical locations related to the user is determined. A likely location is determined based on the determined one or more locations of interest and the one or more historical locations. | 05-23-2013 |
20130132246 | PROVIDING A SUMMARY OR RECEIPT FOR ON-DEMAND SERVICES THROUGH USE OF PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICES - A method for providing a service summary or receipt on a computing device is provided. One or more processors determine information for a service rendered for a user. The information includes a cost for the service, a type of service performed, and a person who performed the service. A summary receipt panel is provided on a display of the computing device and includes the information for the service rendered. The one or more processors provide, on the summary receipt panel, a map that identifies a location relevant to the service rendered and a feedback feature that enables the user to rate the service received. | 05-23-2013 |
20130132887 | TRANSITIONING USER INTERFACE FEATURES FOR ON-DEMAND SERVICES THROUGH USE OF PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICES - A method for operating a computing device is disclosed. A user interface of an application that is running on the computing device is displayed. The user interface has a first panel and a second panel in an original position. The computing device can receive a user input. In response to receiving the user input, the first panel and the second panel can be transitioned to display a set of features that were not previously displayed before receiving the user input. | 05-23-2013 |
20130246301 | PROVIDING USER FEEDBACK FOR TRANSPORT SERVICES THROUGH USE OF MOBILE DEVICES - A system and method are described for providing feedback for a transportation service. A rating user interface can be provided after completion of a service. In response to a user's providing a rating for the transportation service, additional rating features can be provided as part of the rating user interface. If the rating is equal to or higher than a predetermined level, the user may be enabled to share positive aspects of the service with other people. If the rating is below the predetermined level, the user may be enabled to indicate categories which the user was dissatisfied with. | 09-19-2013 |
20130268406 | ENABLING A USER TO VERIFY A PRICE CHANGE FOR AN ON-DEMAND SERVICE - A method for enabling a user to verify a price change for an on-demand service is provided. One or more processors can determine a real-time price for providing the on-demand service to the user. The one or more processors can determine when the real-time price is equal to or exceeds a threshold price. In response to a request from the user for the on-demand service when the real-time price is equal to or exceeds the threshold price, an intermediate interface can be provided that the user is to correctly respond to before a service request can be transmitted to a service system. | 10-10-2013 |
20140129302 | PROVIDING A CONFIRMATION INTERFACE FOR ON-DEMAND SERVICES THROUGH USE OF PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICES - A method for providing transport services is provided. A transport request for a transport service is received from a user. The transport request specifies at least one of a pickup or drop-off location. A confirmation panel is generated to display information corresponding to the at least one of the pickup location or drop-off location. On the confirmation panel, a map relevant to the at least one of the pickup location or drop-off location is displayed. Fare information relevant to the transport request is also displayed on the confirmation panel. A prompt is provided for the user to confirm the transport request. | 05-08-2014 |
20140129951 | PROVIDING ON-DEMAND SERVICES THROUGH USE OF PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICES - A method for requesting an on-demand service on a computing device is provided. One or more processors determine the current location of the computing device. A multistate selection feature of a plurality of service options for providing the on-demand service is presented on the display of the computing device. The multistate selection feature enables a user to select a service option that is available within a region that includes the current location to provide the on-demand service. In response to the user selecting one of the plurality of service options, a summary user interface is presented on the display to provide region-specific information about the on-demand service based on the selected service option. | 05-08-2014 |
20140279011 | GENERATING PROMOTIONS FOR A SERVICE USING A MAP INTERFACE - A method for generating promotions for a service is provided. One or more processors provide, on a display of a computing device, a user interface to enable a promoter to create a promotion for a service. The user interface provides a plurality of parameters for the promotion. The promoter is enabled to configure at least one of the plurality of parameters for the promotion. A map interface is provided, on the display, to enable the promoter to identify a geographic region in which the promotion can be used by one or more customers. The promoter can identify the geographic region by creating a boundary using three or more location points selected on the map interface. | 09-18-2014 |
