User-configurable indication device for use with an on-demand transport service
First Claim
1. A computing system for managing a transport service, comprising:
- one or more processors;
one or more memory resources storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to;
receive, from a user device of a requesting user, a request for the transport service;
in response to receiving the request from the user device, identify a service provider from a plurality of service providers to fulfill the request, the service provider operating a transport service vehicle;
transmit, to a provider device of the service provider, configuration data indicating an output configuration for the request, the provider device being communicatively coupled to an indication device to cause the indication device to transition from displaying a default configuration to displaying the output configuration for the request based on a determined state of the service provider or the transport service; and
in response to receiving a set of data from the provider device, communicate with the provider device to cause the indication device to cease displaying the output configuration for the request.

Abstract
A computing system is configured to receive a request for a transport service from a user device of a requesting user. In response to receiving the request, the computing system identifies a service provider to fulfill the request and determines a state for the service provider. The computing system transmits, to a provider device of the service provider, configuration data indicating an output configuration for the request. The provider device is communicatively coupled to an indication device to cause the indication device to transition from displaying a default configuration to displaying the output configuration for the request based on the determined state of the service provider.

14. A computer-implemented method of managing a transport service, comprising:
-
receiving, from a user device of a requesting user, a request for the transport service; in response to receiving the request from the user device, identifying a service provider from a plurality of service providers to fulfill the request, the service provider operating a transport service vehicle; transmitting, to a provider device of the service provider, configuration data indicating an output configuration for the request, the provider device being communicatively coupled to an indication device to cause the indication device to transition from displaying a default configuration to displaying the output configuration for the request based on a determined state of the service provider or the transport service; and in response to receiving a set of data from the provider device, communicating with the provider device to cause the indication device to cease displaying the output configuration for the request. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 23, 24, 25)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, that when executed by a computing system, causes the computing system to:
-
receive, from a user device of a requesting user, a request for a transport service; in response to receiving the request from the user device, identify a service provider from a plurality of service providers to fulfill the request, the service provider operating a transport service vehicle; transmit, to a provider device of the service provider, configuration data indicating an output configuration for the request, the provider device being communicatively coupled to an indication device to cause the indication device to transition from displaying a default configuration to displaying the output configuration for the request based on a determined state of the service provider or the transport service; and in response to receiving a set of data from the provider device, communicate with the provider device to cause the indication device to cease displaying the output configuration for the request. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 26, 27)
