Real-time carpooling coordinating system and methods
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- circuitry for acquiring an identity of a transportation vehicle unit that is currently en route to or currently transporting at least one second end user;
circuitry for determining that the transportation vehicle unit currently en route to or currently transporting the at least one second end user is able to accommodate transport of a first end user while transporting the at least one second end user; and
circuitry for directing the transportation vehicle unit to rendezvous with the first end user in order to transport the first end user.

Abstract
Computationally implemented methods and systems that are designed for transmitting a request for one or more identities of a transportation vehicle unit for transporting a first end user; receiving the one or more identities of the transportation vehicle unit for transporting the first end user, the transportation vehicle unit currently en route to or is currently transporting a second end user and having been identified based, at least in part, on a determination that the transportation vehicle unit is able to accommodate transport of the first end user while transporting the second end user; and directing the identified transportation vehicle unit to rendezvous with the first end user in order to transport the first end user. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.

43. A system comprising:
-
at least one computing device; and one or more instructions that, when executed by the at least one computing device, program the at least one computing device for; acquiring an identity of a transportation vehicle unit that is currently en route to or currently transporting at least one second end user; determining that the transportation vehicle unit currently en route to or currently transporting the at least one second end user is able to accommodate transport of a first end user while transporting the at least one second end user; and directing the identified transportation vehicle unit to rendezvous with the first end user in order to transport the first end user.
