FACILITATING RIDER PICK-UP FOR A TRANSPORT SERVICE
First Claim
1. A transport facilitation system comprising:
- one or more processors; and
one or more memory resources storing instructions for facilitating a pick-up in connection with a transportation arrangement service, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the transport facilitation system to;
receive a pick-up request, over one or more networks, from a user device of a requesting user;
select a driver to service the pick-up request;
transmit an invitation to service the pick-up request to a driver device of the driver;
receive a confirmation to service the pick-up request from the driver device;
detect, from the user device, a sensor pattern corresponding to a hailing action performed using the user device; and
in response to detecting the sensor pattern, transmit a trigger signal to initiate a selected display pattern on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the user device.

Abstract
A transport facilitation system is disclosed that can facilitate pick-ups in connection with a transportation arrangement service. The transport facilitation system can initially receive a pick-up request from a user device of a requesting user and select a driver to service the pick-up request. The transport facilitation system can transmit an invitation to service the pick-up request to a driver device of the driver and receive a confirmation to service the pick-up request from the driver device. Thereafter the transport facilitation system can, detect, from the user device, a sensor pattern corresponding to a hailing action performed by the requesting user using the user device. In response to detecting the sensor pattern, the transport facilitation system can initiate a selected display pattern on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the user device to enable the driver to identify the requesting user.

16. A method for facilitating a pick-up in connection with a transportation arrangement service, the method comprising:
-
receiving a pick-up request, over one or more networks, from a user device of a requesting user; selecting a driver to service the pick-up request; transmitting an invitation to service the pick-up request to a driver device of the driver; receiving a confirmation to service the pick-up request from the driver device; detecting, from the user device, a sensor pattern corresponding to a hailing action performed using the user device; and in response to detecting the sensor pattern, transmitting a trigger signal to initiate a selected display pattern on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the user device to enable the driver to identify the requesting user. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for facilitating a pick-up in connection with a transportation arrangement service, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
-
in response to a user input, transmit a pick-up request to a transport facilitation system associated with the transportation arrangement service; receive a pick-up request confirmation, over one or more networks, from the transport facilitation system; detect, from one or more sensors of the user device, a sensor pattern corresponding to a hailing action performed using the user device; and in response to detecting the sensor pattern, initiate a selected display pattern on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the user device. - View Dependent Claims (20)
