Abstract

A computer-implemented method for requesting a ride with a specified fare set by a passenger, the method being performed in connection with a computerized system comprising at least a processor and a memory, the method involving: receiving a ride request from a passenger with a specified fare set by a passenger; transmitting a ride request to the ride requests feed of a driver; selecting a driver in response to the ride request from the passenger with a specified fare by receiving driver requests for an order, determining driver device location, determining driver rating, the driver selection based on his/her location and rating; and providing driver selection results to a passenger, the selected driver and other drivers.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for requesting a ride with a specified fare set by a passenger, the method being performed in connection with a computerized system comprising at least a processor and a memory, the method comprising:

a. receiving a ride request from a passenger, the ride request comprising a fare set by the passenger;

b. transmitting the ride request to a ride requests feed of a driver;

c. selecting the driver in response to the ride request from the passenger with the specified fare by receiving driver requests for an order, determining a driver device location, determining a driver rating, wherein the driver selection is based on the determined driver device location and the determined driver rating; and

d. providing the driver selection results to the passenger and the driver.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the ride request from the passenger is received using a graphical user interface generated on a mobile computing device of the passenger.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the ride request from the passenger comprises destination information.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the ride request from the passenger comprises information on two or more destinations.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the ride request from the passenger comprises one or more options requested by the passenger.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising providing the driver selection results to other drivers.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6, wherein the driver selection results provided to other drivers comprise information that the other drivers have not been selected.

8. A computerized system for requesting a ride with a specified fare set by a passenger, the computerized system comprising at least a processor and a memory for:

a. receiving a ride request from a passenger comprising a specified fare set by the passenger;

b. transmitting the received ride request to an order feed of a driver;

c. receiving a driver request for an order;

d. determining a driver device location;

e. determining a driver rating;

f. selecting a driver based on the determined driver device location and the determine driver rating; and

g. providing the driver selection results to the passenger and the driver.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8, wherein the ride request from the passenger is received using a graphical user interface generated on a mobile computing device of the passenger.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 8, wherein the ride request from the passenger comprises destination information.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 8, wherein the ride request from the passenger comprises information on two or more destinations.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 8, wherein the ride request from the passenger comprises one or more options requested by the passenger.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 8, further comprising providing the driver selection results to other drivers.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13, wherein the driver selection results provided to other drivers comprise information that the other drivers have not been selected.

15. A mobile computing device for requesting a ride with a specified fare set by a passenger, the mobile computing device comprising a display, a memory and one or more processors for:

a. receiving a ride request from a passenger with a specified fare set by the passenger;

b. transmitting the received ride request to an order feed of a driver;

c. receiving a driver request for an order;

d. determining a driver device location;

e. determining a driver rating;

f. selecting a driver based on the determined driver device location and the determine driver rating; and

g. providing the driver selection results to the passenger and other drivers.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, wherein the ride request from the passenger is received using a graphical user interface generated on the mobile computing device.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, wherein the ride request from the passenger comprises destination information.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, wherein the ride request from the passenger comprises information on two or more destinations.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, wherein the ride request from the passenger comprises one or more options requested by the passenger.

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, further comprising providing the driver selection results to other drivers.
