LOCATION-BASED PAYER CHARGING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A location-based payer charging system, comprising:
- a system provider device including one or more processors that are coupled to a memory and a network, wherein the one or more processors are operable to;
receive first location data from a payer device over the network in response to the payer device entering a first transportation area;
receive second location data from the payer device over the network in response to the payer device exiting a second transportation area;
determine a payment amount using the first location data, the second location data, and a transportation charge element retrieved from a charging database; and
send an instruction to charge the payment amount to a payer account that is associated with the payer device.

Abstract
A location-based payer charging system includes a charging database including at least one transportation charge element associated with a transportation provider. A system provider device in the location-based payer charging system is coupled to a network and the charging database. The system provider device is operable to receive first location data from a payer device over the network in response to the payer device entering a first transportation area, and then receive second location data from the payer device over the network in response to the payer device exiting a second transportation area. The system provider device will then determine a payment amount using the first location data, the second location data, and a transportation charge element retrieved from the charging data, and send an instruction to charge the payment amount to a payer account that is associated with the payer device.
