Portable service identification, notification and location device and method
First Claim
1. A method for automated location of transportation vehicle passengers comprising the steps of:
- activating a transceiver to request a transportation vehicle;
transmitting a request signal upon activation from the transceiver to a transportation server;
sending a location request from the transportation server to a location system;
transmitting an interrogation signal from the location system to the transceiver;
transmitting a response signal from the transceiver to the location system;
processing said response signal to determine the physical location of the transceiver;
sending a pick-up signal to a transportation vehicle to pick up the passenger at the determined physical location.

Abstract
A system and method for automated location of transportation vehicle passengers enables a passenger to request a transportation vehicle by activating a transceiver. The transceiver transmits a request signal upon activation to a transportation server. The transportation server sends a location request to a location system. The location system then transmits an interrogation signal from the location system to the transceiver. The transceiver responds by transmitting a response signal back to the location system. The location system then processes said response signal to determine the physical location of the transceiver and sends a pick-up signal to a transportation vehicle to pick up the passenger at the determined physical location.

11. A system for automated location of transportation vehicle passengers comprising;
-
a transceiver which transmits a request signal upon activation;
a transportation server which receives said request signal and sends a location request;
a location system which, in response to said location signal determines the location of the transceiver by sending an interrogation signal to the transceiver which responds with a response signal;
wherein said location system sends the determined transceiver location to the transportation server, which sends the determined transceiver location to a transportation vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
