User-configurable indication device for use with an on-demand transport service
First Claim
1. A method for configuring an indication device, the method being performed by one or more processors of a computing system and comprising:
- determining an output configuration that is associated with a given user who is to receive a transport service using a transport service vehicle; and
triggering the indication device to illuminate in accordance with the output configuration as the transport service vehicle progresses to a location where the transport service is to be received by the given user, the illumination of the indication device being externally visible from the transport service vehicle.

Abstract
A system and method for configuring an indication device is described. An on-demand service system arranges a transport service for a user to be provided by a driver. The system determines whether the user has specified an output configuration for an indication device in an account of the user. In response to determining that the user has specified an output configuration for the indication device, the system identifies data corresponding to the output configuration and transmits the data to a driver device of the driver to enable the driver device to control the indication device of the driver based on the data.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium to store instructions for configuring an indication device, the instructions being executable by one or more processors of a computer system to cause the computer system to perform operations comprising:
-
determining an output configuration that is associated with a given user who is to receive a transport service using a transport service vehicle; determining that the transport service vehicle is within a predetermined distance of a location where the transport service is to be received by the given user; and upon the transport service vehicle being within the predetermined distance, triggering an indication device that is externally visible from the transport service vehicle to illuminate in accordance with the output configuration as the transport service vehicle progresses to the location.
