Fig. 1 shows the functional block diagram of the example of LLO system, and for purposes of illustration, this functional block diagram is directed to taxi Service provides example.It should be appreciated that this only simplifies example, and LLO arrangement is not limited to this concrete application.

In the example of fig. 1, the people itself holding mobile client terminal 115 wishes to subscribe to taxi.

Client may desire to when its current location immediately taxi booking it is desirable alternatively to when specifying for a certain future Customer plans in this moment residing for specified location taxi booking.In this manual, the art in aforementioned context Language " immediately " meaned from any moment to 15 minutes hereafter now.Therefore, term " a certain future time " include from Any moment specified in the future from the reach moment of 15 minutes.It is apparent that this be random boundary and merely for explanation Purpose.In other factors, it is also based on discussed specific service and carrys out the term definition suitable using other.Therefore, example As in this example, 15 minutes of explanation and client will be usually prepared for waiting the time consistency of the taxi coming to client.

After formation is defined above, work to be immediately performed is referred to as " working immediately ".Stay in a certain future time The work of execution is referred to as " working in advance ".Without explicitly indicating that, this description represents and works immediately or work in advance.

Although Advanced mobile terminals are preferred in LLO arrangement for supplier and client, but also may be used With using old-fashioned mobile terminal.The taxi driver having mobile vendor terminal 111 on hand has limited the activity in description circle 122 The operating range 123 in region 126, circle 122 shows that taxi driver prepares to accept the regional area of work in it.

For working immediately, from the angle of taxi driver, these are chance work, i.e. taxi driver works as Front discovery oneself（That is, the zone of action in circle 122）And taxi driver can wish at the position that current time is serviced Obtainable work.From the angle of client, work client immediately that reflect in the zone of action being currently located in circle 122 Wish taxi booking rather than the fact that taxi booking as early as possible.With reference to regard to the Fig. 1 working immediately, therefore, taxi driver 111 are currently in the zone of action in circle 122, and find and treat immediately in this zone of action（That is, in 15 minutes）Quilt The work of service.Client 115 or client 119 are currently in the zone of action in circle 122, and hire a car at once searching out.

For working in advance, from the angle of taxi driver, these be driver with respect to zone of action in advance Arrangement or the work wishing arrangement, this zone of action is, for example, that driver plans in a certain date in future, moment and the position specified Put the present zone of action in circle 122.Although referred to herein as the specific activities region shown in Fig. 1, substantially , with respect to working immediately or working in advance, disclosed LLO arrangement is applied to equally be referred to by client and supplier Fixed any zone of action.In other words, working in advance is to be intended to the specifying in zone of action in carried date and hour Position at customer subscription work.This be be intended to identical in zone of action in the carried date and hour of identical The position specified at taxi driver agree to work, with regard to this, taxi driver has been done in advance with corresponding client Arrangement provides tax services with the moment specified in client and place to client.

With regard to working in advance, in corresponding parameter（Such as position, moment and date）Differ not enough corresponding predetermined each other In the case of the difference it is believed that position in the future specified by client, date and hour and be supplied the future that business specifies position, Date and hour phase " is mated ".Can also be using the additive method for determining coupling.

For the example below：Wherein, by client be directed to provide tax services specified by the request specified, position, Date and hour is that " eight clients, one of them needs wheelchair access service, in the morning 10 on January 1st, 2010:00 from empire Mansion main entrance carries ".If the moment difference allowed is 1 hour, be hired out that car driver specifies for " for eight people's The taxi that specific large-scale wheelchair can come in and go out, in the morning 9 on January 1st, 2012:30 include the position of Empire State Building in zone of action One group of parameter at place " is matched with client's explanation.If the moment difference allowed is 15 minutes, it is hired out car driver and specifies This group parameter will mismatch.

The register section 244 to 246 of processor 205, ALU（ALU）240 and control unit 239 work together Make to execute one group of microoperation, need this group microoperation to come for each the instruction execution in the instruction set of composition program 233 " take, decode and execute " is circulated.Each takes, decodes and executes circulation and includes：

（a）Extract operation, this extract operation is taken out from memory element 228 or is read instruction 231；

（b）Decoding operate, in decoding operate, control unit 239 determines taken out which instruction；And

（c）Execute operation, control unit 239 and/or ALU240 execute instruction in execution operation.

Hereafter, can execute and take, decode and execute circulation for the other of next instruction.It is likewise possible to execution Storage circulation, control unit 239 can will be worth storage or write storage unit 232 by this storage circulation.

One section in each step in the process of Fig. 3 to Fig. 8 and Figure 11 to Figure 13 or subprocessing with program 233 or more Multistage is associated, and is referred to for each in the instruction set of the carried section of program 233 by working together in processor 205 Make and to execute the register section 244 to 246 taking, decode and executing circulation, ALU240 and control unit 239, with respect to server 106 executing this each step or subprocessing.Identical function is created in various mobile terminals as previously mentioned.

Alternately, can be in for example one or more gate array of specialized hardware and/or execution LLO function or subfunction Integrated circuit in realize LLO method.Such specialized hardware can also include graphic process unit, digital signal processor or One or more microprocessors and relational storage.If used in gate array, Fig. 3 to Fig. 8 and Figure 11 to Figure 13 Process chart is converted into hardware description language（HDL）Form.This HDL description is converted into device level netlist, layout and road By（P&L）Instrument is produced using this device level netlist and is downloaded to gate array so that being used in specified design in HDL description Come the file to be compiled.

Fig. 3 shows that being applied to tax services provides how the LLO system of example is carried out with respect to service request immediately The multiple entity processing stream 300 of operation.The entity of Fig. 3 description is that mobile vendor terminal 111, server 106 and mobile client are whole End 115.It is apparent that other mobile terminals can also be included, but have been omitted from these mobile terminals to simplify description.First In step 1, pass through keypad 1004 using the people of mobile client terminal 115 or touch-sensitive display 1003 input service request order, Mobile client terminal 115 uses global positioning system according to this service request order（GPS）Infrastructure or other equivalent bases Facility for example determines its own position using the triangulation network of the base station 103,117,109 and 113 in Fig. 1.Alternately, client The position of client terminal 115 can be manually inputted using the user interface of client terminal.

Then, in step 2, mobile client terminal 115 is communicated with server 106 to transmit terminal location and to be used for The request of tax services is provided.In step 3, server 106 storage is previously used for providing request and the visitor of tax services The position of family terminal 115.Step 1,2 and 3 occur on dotted line 301, this represent these steps and this example " client please Ask " state be associated.

The following steps illustrating between dotted line 301 and 302 are related to " supplier " state of example.

In step 4, keypad 906 or touch-sensitive display 901 input service are passed through using the people of mobile vendor terminal 111 Request command, vendor terminal 111 is come using GPS infrastructure as mentioned above or other equivalent infrastructure according to this order Determine its geographical position.People using mobile vendor terminal 111 limits work using keypad 906 or touching-type monitor 901 Dynamic distance such as 123（Referring to Fig. 1）, this operating range 123 is that supplier will consider to be used for providing taxi to take in this example The distance away from vendor terminal 111 for the scope of the request of business.In subsequent step 5, mobile vendor terminal 111 is by herein below It is sent to server 106：The position of mobile vendor terminal 111；Operating range 123；And offer is hired out to be had requested that to identification Car service positioned at operating range（That is, in circle 122）The request of the information of interior all clients.Fig. 1 illustrates client terminal 115 He 119 are both located in circle 122, and in this example, in subsequent step 6, this two client terminals can be known being serviced device Not, certainly, as long as two terminals have requested that offer tax services, in subsequent step 7, this information is just transferred into mobile confession Answer business's terminal 111.

In subsequent step 8, mobile vendor terminal 111 is in the display 901 of vendor terminal 111（In fig .9）On Depict（That is, show）The presence of identified mobile client terminal.The shifting in circle 122 can be presented on using various means The presence of dynamic client terminal, however, showing in Fig. 9 and describing a particularly advantageous way.

In step 8, vendor terminal 111 also selects one of mobile client terminal of depicting over the display, hereafter, In step 9, vendor terminal 111 and client terminal 115 set up two-way communication.In this LLO example, step 10 and step 9 Occur together, step 10 indicate server 106 deletes in a step 11 stored client terminal 115 for provide service Request.Therefore, step 11 deletes the information storing in step 3, as shown in by dotted line four-headed arrow 303.

Two-way communication when vendor terminal 111 and client terminal 115（Set up in step 9）When being activation, with confession Answer the associated taxi driver of business's terminal 111 and the client being associated with client terminal 115 can exchange for taxi department Enough details of client found by machine.This is important in the following environments：Client terminal 115 is in the use in congested area Family is used, and in this congested area, for taxi driver, who is that client may not be apparent immediately.At these Under environment, client generally will to describe oneself so that taxi driver can be in not expense to taxi driver with enough details Client is found in the case of power.

Fig. 4 shows and is used by client and client terminal 115 in the aforementioned LLO example with respect to service request immediately The process chart of the example of method 400.Process 400 from determine client the need of taxi beginning step 401（By using People's execution of mobile client terminal 115）Start.If there is no the situation needing taxi, then process 400 with Infinite Cyclic Form is followed NO arrow and is circulated around step 401.On the other hand, if there is the situation needing taxi, this is to be led to by client Cross and use keypad 906 or touch-sensitive display 901（Referring to Fig. 9）Give service request order generation, then process 400 and follow YES arrow is from step 401 to step 402.In step 402, using mobile client terminal people by using touch-sensitive display 1003 or keypad 1004 input service request order, hereafter, client terminal 115 to determine by using such as GPS infrastructure The geographical position of its own.Hereafter, in step 403, use such as client terminal 115 using the client of client terminal 115 Keypad 1004 specifies required service（It is taxi in this example）.

In subsequent step 404, client terminal 115 will defined location and required in step 403 in step 402 The explanation of service be sent to server 106.In the case of transferring information above-mentioned in step 404, will locate Manage 400 slew test steps 405, in this testing procedure 405, terminal 115 determines supplier（In this example for taxi department Machine）Whether the request to client responds.As long as client terminal is not received by responding, this for example passes through Figure 10's " N " at 1005 or only the confirmation calling from the taxi driver receiving work is not received yet by terminal 115（Referring to Step 9 in Fig. 3）The fact represent, process and 400 just follow NO arrow to the time-out time whether menstrual period determining this work Full step 409.If time-out time has not expired, then process 400 and follow NO arrow from step 409 to step 405.Return To step 409, if time-out time has expired, then process 400 and follow YES arrow from step 409 to step 410.Step 410 by the relevant information in deletion client terminal 115 with by being sent to both servers 106 to cancel quilt cancellation request The work of customer subscription.Then, process 400 is followed arrow 411 and is returned to step 401.It is back to step 405, once in client eventually Hold the response receiving at 115 from vendor terminal, this for example by the 1005 of Figure 10 " Y " or connect by terminal 115 Receive the confirmation calling from the taxi driver accepting work（Referring to the step 9 in Fig. 3）The fact represent, process 400 The step 406 just following the two-way communication that YES arrow is previously mentioned from step 405 to the step 9 set up Fig. 3.

Use in the follow-up test step 407 of client terminal 115 execution in client, if client still has gives taxi The information of driver or taxi driver still have the information giving client, then process 400 is followed NO arrow and returned to step 406, And continue the two-way communication shown in the step 9 of Fig. 3 till both sides have given and have received full detail.Once this quilt Complete, i.e. once completing exchange in step 407, then, according to from client terminal 115 for example by using in Figure 10 Touch-sensitive display 1003 or keypad 1004 come to terminate step 9 place in Fig. 3 two-way communication client execution order, process 400 follow YES arrow 408 returns to step 401, and client terminal prepares next service request.

Fig. 5 shows service request immediately according to taxi offer service is with respect to Fig. 4 for the vendor terminal 111 The process chart of the example of method 500 that operated of described LLO arrangement.Process 500 from by using vendor terminal 111 Supplier execution whether really order a taxi driver desirable to provide service（That is, whether described taxi driver searches out at that time Hire a car work）Testing procedure 501 start.If there is no taxi desirable to provide the situation of service, then process 500 and follow and enclose NO arrow around step 501 Infinite Cyclic.If taxi driver does want to obtain work, this is for example led to by taxi driver Cross the work request order using keypad 906 or touch-sensitive display 901 send to represent, then process 500 and follow YES arrow to step Rapid 502.In step 502, vendor terminal 111 to determine its own by using GPS infrastructure or equivalent infrastructure Position.In subsequent step 503, taxi driver is by using the keypad 906 of vendor terminal 111 or touch-sensitive display 901 limiting operating range 123.Hereafter, in step 504, herein below is sent to server 106 by vendor terminal 111： The position of vendor terminal 111；The operating range 123 specified；And the request with the relevant information of active customer in circle 122. Active customer is to have requested that those clients arranging using LLO falling in circle 122 of tax services.

In subsequent step 505, vendor terminal 111 is in server 106 reception with operating range（That is, in circle 122 Interior）Active customer（That is, those clients on a server 106 by service request record）The relevant information in position.? In subsequent step 506, active customer is shown on the display device by vendor terminal 111, in the situation of vendor terminal 111 Under, this display device is typically visualized graphs display 901, can also be touch-sensitive, for receiving the use of self terminal 111 The input at family（Referring to Fig. 9）.Then, process 500 and follow arrow 514 from step 506 to deciding step 511, in this deciding step In 511 vendor terminal 111 inquiry taxi driver based on the information driver showing in step 506 whether desirable to provide clothes Business.If by using keypad 906 or touch-sensitive display 901, driver represents that it does want to provide service, process 500 with With YES arrow from step 511 to subsequent step 507, in this step 507, taxi driver is by using keypad 906 or touch-sensitive Display 901 selects one of active customer of display on display 901.It is back to step 511, if driver is probably due to work Make to be not suitable for or represent for certain other reasons that it is not intended to provide service, then process 500 and follow NO arrow from step 511 To step 512, this step 512 is by initializing vendor terminal 111 and correspondingly notifying server 106 to cancel process.

After step 507, two process abreast occur in this example.Note, this parallel operation is only at LLO The examples how to be operated of reason 500, and can use other orders or parallel operation.

In this example, in step 508, set up using the taxi driver and client terminal 115 of vendor terminal 111 It is bi-directionally connected, as shown in the step 9 of Fig. 3.Then, taxi driver and client discuss being used for required for taxi driver each other Find the various details of client as previously mentioned.In parallel step 509, vendor terminal 111 instruction server 106 deletes client The information that terminal 115 provides when asking this taxi to work.This is relevant with the step 10 in Fig. 3.Then, 500 bases are processed Arrow 510 rotates back into step 501.

LLO arrangement described in taxi example can use multiple movements by client and ISP as previously mentioned Communication equipment is putting into practice.Modern comfort such as third generation cell phone " 3G "（For example shown those set in figure 9 and in figure 10 Standby）There is the big display that can also be touch-sensitive, and simply support to download third party software application from website, so that LLO arrangement can be used for very vast supplier and client.Can also put into practice on old-fashioned mobile terminal this LLO arrangement although Inconvenient for a user.

Fig. 6 shows that client and/or supplier can download LLO and apply the process to its corresponding terminal 115,111 600.Process 600 in Fig. 6 can the similarly supplier of being serviced or service client use, therefore, description will only relate to And client, notice that the process for supplier is identical.Process 600 to start from beginning step 601, start step 601 at this Afterwards, client signs in, by using the keypad 1004 of terminal 115 and/or touch-sensitive display 1003, the provider being arranged by LLO The website sponsored.Hereafter, in step 604, website gives client terminal option below 115：Selection is used for being downloaded to client eventually Any one purposes of the multipurpose LLO application at end 115.For example, single-use application can be only used for pre- described in as above-mentioned example Draw up and hire a car.Multipurpose application can include multiple service request options, for example, request from taxi driver, Plumber, Locksmith or the service being suitable for other suppliers of service used in the mobile environment of LLO arrangement.

If select single-use application using the client of client terminal 115 downloading, processing 600 and following " single " arrow to step Rapid 603, in step 603, using the customer selecting of client terminal desired LLO application.Hereafter, in step 607, using visitor The client of family terminal 115 realizes LLO application and downloads to mobile terminal 1 15, installs this application, and locate in subsequent step 608 Reason 600 terminates at stopping step 609.

Being back to testing procedure 604, if downloaded using the customer selecting multipurpose LLO application of client terminal 115, locating Reason 600 follows " many " arrows to step 605.In step 605, client is by using the keypad 1004 or tactile of client terminal 115 Quick display 1003 selecting desired application, after this, in step 606, apply only to select him or she by customization Those services interested.Thus, for example, described client can be interested in the service being provided by taxi and locksmith, and right The service that Plumber provides is lost interest in.In the case of having customized application in step 606, then will process 600 turns To step 607, after this, disclosed the remainder of process.

LLO arrangement described in Fig. 5（That is, the process being used by ISP）Can launch as shown in Figure 7.

Fig. 7 shows that vendor terminal 111 " can be checked " before one of actual selection client first in circle 122 Each mobile client terminal of taxi is asked in zone of action.This is appropriate under such as situations below：Client does not carry For making taxi driver determine whether he actually wants the enough information of this work.For example, client sometimes please not using it The desired destination of offer is provided.Taxi driver may not want that and accepts not providing it going out of the enough distances needing to advance Hire a car request.In this case can be using the arrangement in Fig. 7.

Fig. 7 has been shown in phantom the step 506 and 507 from Fig. 5, and it is had with the step 506 and 507 in Fig. 5 Identical function.However, in the figure 7, after procedure 506,500 steering steps 701 are processed, in this step 701, using confession The supplier answering business's terminal 111 can check the active customer depicted on the display 901 of vendor terminal 111, and not Actual selection is used for providing the client of service.This checks that operation will be transferred into such as client terminal 115 indicated at 1002. In subsequent step 702, vendor terminal 111 check that with specifically asking the customer information being associated to determine provider is No want to proceed with.In follow-up test step 703, the provider using provider's terminal 111 determines（a）Whether continue into What row was relevant with the client currently checking checks work, or（b）Do not accept the work of specific client request and still find and work as Another client of front display, or（c）Exit process completely, this is probably due to taxi driver remembers that suddenly it must be joined immediately Plus some other business.If vendor terminal there is a decision to discontinue the work currently checked and from currently displaying activity visitor Another client is found, then process 700 is followed " currently checking " arrow and returned to step 506 in family, in this step 506, taxi Driver will check again for each client in the zone of action in circle 122, and not select it to check in step 701 and 702 The client crossing.

Return to testing procedure 703, if taxi driver determines to accept what it had been checked in step 701 and 702 Work, then process 700 and follow " existing customer " arrow step 507 to having described in Figure 5.

Return testing procedure 703, if taxi driver determines to exit completely process, process is followed " exiting " arrow and returned Step 501 in Fig. 5.

Fig. 8 illustrates how that the LLO launching as described in Figure 4 from the angle of client arranges to provide process phase in service Between to client provide feedback.Be shown in phantom step 403,404 and 405 with represent these steps with as described in Figure 4 Step realizes identical function.After step 404, should（Launch）Process 800 steering steps 801, take in this step 801 Business device 106 by with check client request（Potential）The relevant feedback of supplier（Illustrate at 1002 in Fig. 10）It is supplied to visitor Family terminal 115.In LLO arrangement shown in Figure 10, this feedback can be in the form of real time indicator, to be used to refer to how much go out The driver that hires a car has checked that client's request does not accept this request yet（That is, situations below：Process 700 and follow " currently checking " Or one of " exiting " arrow correspondingly returns to step 506 or 501 from step 703）.

In follow-up test step 802, client decides whether to resubmit the revision of its service request, and this may be by In the other for example required destination of information of insertion or multiple due to carrying out to the time-out being associated with the step 409 in Fig. 4 Position.If client determines to follow this process, process 800 is followed YES arrow and is returned to step 403 from step 802.At one In LLO arrangement, by client submit that modification request can automatically delete above to currently stored on a server 106 from client Previous Request.

On the other hand, if being back to step 802, client does not change its service request, processes 800 and will follow NO arrow Head returns to step 405.Processing in 800, when not having supplier to respond, process 800 is followed NO arrow and returned to step 801.

Fig. 9 shows the favourable display device 900 for vendor terminal 111, and in addition to other modules, it also has Speaker 907 and mike 908.The display 901 that can be touch-sensitive in terminal 111 shows one group of concentration ellipse, example As the central point 904 around the position illustrating terminal 111 905.Each concentration ellipse 905 represent away from supply terminal 111 away from From this distance is partly proportional to the operating range 123 being limited by the supplier in the step 503 of Fig. 5.Showing in Fig. 9 In example, outmost oval 905 represent circle 122, and less concentration ellipse is to each in taxi driver's offer and circle 122 How far relevant client be located at information.Thus, for example, the client at 903 is located at and is described with horizontal gradient with dotted line 902 The angular range going out, and be located at away from supplier close at outmost oval 905 distance.This display in Fig. 9 Can make in the case of being especially touch-sensitive in display 901 vendor terminal user simple and be readily selected for checking or Select the client of specific works request.Can be close to such as 903 position display auxiliary information with to supplier provide and each The relevant other information of client's request.

Figure 10 shows the favourable display device 1000 for client terminal 115, and in addition to other modules, it also has Speaker 1006 and mike 1007.Depict " since request in the display 1003 that can be touch-sensitive in terminal 115 Time " hurdle 1001, " reader " hurdle 1002 and " accepting " hurdle 1005.For example, as client at the step 401 of Fig. 4 table When showing work request, aforementioned information can be shown.Should represent from client in the step 404 of Fig. 4 on " time since request " hurdle How long have passed through after its service request is sent to server 106, in the example shown 14 points of display 34 seconds.In basis In the case that LLO arrangement shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 provides feedback, " reader " hurdle represents to be checked but not to accept Client Work yet The number of suppliers of request.In the shown example 5, supplier's inspected work request.Supply should be represented in " accepting " hurdle Whether business has received work.This example shows " N " at 1005, does not still have supplier to accept work to represent.Institute State in LLO example, after supplier receives work according to the step 507 in Fig. 5, show " accepting " hurdle.

Figure 11 shows that being applied to tax services provides how the LLO system of example is carried out with respect to service request in advance The multiple entity handling process description of operation.Entity described in Fig. 3 is mobile supply terminal 111, and server 106 and mobile client are eventually End 115.It is apparent that other mobile terminals can also be included, but have been omitted from these mobile terminals to simplify description.First In step 1, pass through keypad 1004 using the people of mobile client terminal 115 or touch-sensitive display 1003 inputs service request order. Because this is related to service request in advance, so client manually inputs client terminal by using the user interface of client terminal The position in future that future date with moment and plan specified by 115.The parameter that these are specified defines where when Expect tax services.Thus, for example, mobile client terminal 111 may be currently located at position A, but service request table in advance Show that client wishes the morning 7 after ten days:30 at the B of position taxi booking.

Then, in step 2, mobile client terminal 115 is communicated with server 106 to transmit the aforementioned day specified Phase, moment and position and the request for providing tax services.In step 3, server 106 stores previously for offer The date of the request of tax services and service to be supplied, moment and specifying in this date and hour client terminal 115 Position.Step 1,2 and 3 occur on dotted line 1101, and this represents that these steps are related to " client's request " state of this example Connection.

The following steps illustrating between dotted line 1101 and 1102 are related to " supplier " state of example.

In step 4, keypad 906 or touch-sensitive display 901 input service are passed through using the people of mobile vendor terminal 111 Request instruction, vendor terminal 111 specifies position and the date and hour in future, in this example, this letter according to this order Breath represent taxi driver intend to find on a specified date with when be engraved in the work of specified location.Using mobile supplier eventually The people at end 111 limits operating range such as 123 by using keypad 906 or touch-sensitive display 901（Referring to Fig. 1）, this activity away from It is away from the aforementioned future date specified, moment and position with a distance from vendor terminal 111 from 123, in this operating range 123 Interior supplier will consider for the request providing tax services.In subsequent step 5, mobile vendor terminal 111 will be following Content is sent to server 106：The desired location in specified future, date and hour；Operating range；And it is as follows to identifying The request of the information of all client terminals：These client terminals have requested that offer tax services, positioned at the expected activity specified In the distance, the registered service request being in aforementioned date and hour in aforementioned location.It is related to the service in advance in this example The Fig. 1 providing shows that both client terminals 115 and 119 have represented that it will be located at circle 122 in specified future date and moment Interior, this has had contemplated that the permissible difference of parameters that " coupling " between client parameter and supplier's parameter be associated. Aforementioned differences can be predefined in server 106 based on each COS, or can be in steps of 5 by vendor terminal 111 settings.In subsequent step 6, two client terminals will be identified by server, certainly, as long as this two terminals have requested that offer Tax services, in subsequent step 7, just by this information transmission to mobile vendor terminal 111.This means client terminal 115 and 119 had made accordingly before vendor terminal transmits work request in step 4 in corresponding step 1 to 3 For service provide service request.Therefore, for the service request pre-registering in specific date/moment/position, supply Business's terminal 111 can appreciate that this specific date/moment/position.

In subsequent step 8, mobile vendor terminal 111 is retouched on the display 901 in Fig. 9 of vendor terminal 111 Draw（That is, show）Plan the mobile client terminal being identified existing in specific date/moment/position.Can use and present The various means of the mobile client terminal existing in circle 122, however, Fig. 9 shows and describes a particularly advantageous way.

In step 8, vendor terminal 111 selects one of mobile client terminal of depicting over the display, hereafter, In step 9, vendor terminal 111 and client terminal 115 set up two-way communication.In this LLO example, step 10 and step 9 one Rise and occur, step 10 indicates that server 106 deletes asking for the service of offer of stored client terminal 115 in a step 11 Ask.Therefore, step 11 deletes the information storing in step 3, as shown in the four-headed arrow 1103 by dotted line.

Being bi-directionally connected between vendor terminal 111 and client terminal 115（Set up in step 9）When being activation, The taxi driver being associated with vendor terminal 111 and the client being associated with client terminal 115 can exchange for hiring out Car driver finds enough details of the client in specified specific date/moment/position.This is important in the following environments： The user that client terminal 115 is in congested area is used, and in this congested area, for taxi driver, who is Client may not be apparent immediately.Under these circumstances, client generally will to retouch to taxi driver with enough details State oneself so that taxi driver can find client in the case of effortless.

In final step 12, vendor terminal 111 will work in the queue to vendor terminal 111 for the input, passes through This queue is stored in suitable data structure LLO software application 233.In one arrangement, calendar is in by software application 233 Now on display 901, remind which work taxi driver have subscribed in queue every morning.

Figure 12 shows the example of the method being utilized by the customer in the aforementioned LLO example with respect to service request in advance Process chart.Process 1200 from determine client certain in future date and hour in certain specified location the need of taxi Beginning step 1201（By the people's execution using mobile client terminal 115）Start.If there is no the situation needing taxi, Then process 1200 and follow the circulation of NO arrow in the form of Infinite Cyclic around step 1201.On the other hand, if be as previously mentioned Need tax services, this is by using keypad 906 or touch-sensitive display 901 by client（Referring to Fig. 9）The service that gives please Order is asked to produce, then to process 1200 and follow YES arrow from step 1201 to step 1202.In step 1202, using shifting The people of dynamic client terminal by using touch-sensitive display 1003 or keypad 1004 input for provide service in advance the expectation date, When and where moment and position, expecting this service.In subsequent step 1203, client terminal 115 is by using such as visitor The keypad 1004 of family terminal 115 specifying required service, in this example for taxi.

In subsequent step 1204, herein below is sent to server 106 by client terminal 115：Required specific service With the designated date for desired service, moment and position.Transferring information above-mentioned in step 1204 In the case of, 1200 slew test steps 1205 will be processed, in this testing procedure 1205, terminal 115 determines supplier（In this reality It is taxi driver in example）Whether the request to client responds.

As long as client terminal is not received by responding, this for example passes through " N " in Fig. 10 1005 or only passes through eventually End 115 does not receive the confirmation calling from the taxi driver receiving work yet（Referring to the step 9 in Figure 11）The fact Represent, process 1200 and just follow the step 1209 whether NO arrow has expired to the time-out time determining this work.If super When the time have not expired, then process and 1200 follow NO arrow from step 1209 to step 1205.

It is back to step 1209, if time-out time has expired, then process 1200 and follow YES arrow from step 1209 To step 1210.Step 1210 is by the relevant information in deletion client terminal 115 with by cancellation request is sent to service Both devices are cancelling by the work of customer subscription.Then, process 1200 is followed arrow 1211 and is returned to step 1201.

It is noted that in many aspects for time-out time, for service request in advance process 1200 be related to take immediately The process 400 of business request is different.One difference is：It is desirable in a certain future specified in the case of servicing offer in advance Moment（That is, date and hour）And provide service in a certain position specified, rather than the current time in client terminal 115 There is provided service with current location.

Another difference is that：In the case of " immediately ", client wants to provide immediately service, therefore, if client terminal exists For example it is not received by 15 minutes responding, this for example passes through " N " in Figure 10 1005 or only passes through terminal 115 not yet Receive confirmation calling（Referring to the step 9 in Figure 11）To represent, then client may（Even it is very likely to）Will not be in expectation Expectation request is received in time.In the case of " immediately ", generally time-out time is set to the time of about 15 minutes, or typically It is configured as certain time period of the reasonable measurement to the time that can not possibly provide desired service in time.

If however, client subscribes " in advance " service in advance a such as week, then even if client terminal is in whole star All it is not received by phase responding, even if in expectation position in the expected time of a such as hour on a specified date/moment The place of putting does not receive response yet, still exists following possible：Desired service will be provided in last hour.Therefore, generally Time-out is arranged in such mode that such as one hour before predefined date/moment for the step 1210 comes into effect Moment.

It is back to step 1205, once receiving the response from vendor terminal at client terminal 115, this is for example logical Cross " Y " in Figure 10 1005 or the confirmation calling from the taxi driver accepting work is received by terminal 115 （Referring to the step 9 in Figure 11）The fact represent, process and 1200 just follow YES arrow from step 1205 to the step setting up Figure 11 The step 1206 of the two-way communication mentioned in rapid 9.

Use in client terminal 115 execution follow-up test step 1207 in client, if client still has gives taxi The information of driver or taxi driver still have the information giving client, then process 1200 is followed NO arrow and returned to step 1206, and continue the two-way communication shown in step 9 of Figure 11 till both sides have sent or received all information.One Denier this be done, i.e. once completing exchange in step 1207, then, according to for example being used from client terminal 115 Touch-sensitive display 1003 in Figure 10 or keypad 1004 are terminating the life of client's execution of the two-way communication at step 9 place of Figure 11 Order, process 1200 is followed YES arrow 1208 and is returned to step 1201, and client terminal prepares next service request.

Note, client terminal 115 can be used for multiple times process 1200 to produce continuous service request as needed.Cause This, for example, if client wishes continuously to subscribe the taxi for ensuing three Friday nights, all of reservation all exists At 8 points in evening, but three are subscribed the position different at three, then can with suitable parameter using process 1,200 3 times incite somebody to action Continuous service request is announced on a server 106.

Figure 13 shows that supplier provides the institute of service request in advance shown in Figure 12 for the service relative according to taxi State the process that LLO arrangement is operated.Process 1300 from by the testing procedure of the supplier's execution using vendor terminal 111 1301 beginnings, whether this testing procedure 1301 determines taxi driver desirable to provide service, i.e. just whether described taxi driver Finding the work of the taxi at a certain future time and position.If there is no taxi driver desirable to provide the feelings servicing Condition, then process 1300 and follow the NO arrow around step 1301 Infinite Cyclic.If taxi driver does want to receive work, This for example is given work request order by using keypad 906 or touch-sensitive display 901 to represent by taxi driver, then process 1300 follow YES arrow to step 1302.

In step 1302, vendor terminal 111 assigned supplier is desirable to provide service（Hire out for providing in this example Car services）Date in future, moment and position.In subsequent step 1303, taxi driver limits operating range, by this activity Distance will be used for the keypad 906 of vendor terminal 111 to be used in the aforesaid work that future, date and hour was searched.With regard to position Put, difference that the parameter on date, moment and zone of action is allowed, these differences can also be inputted to vendor terminal here 111, or alternately, these can be predefined on server 111 based on each service and/or each supplier and be allowed Difference.

Hereafter, in step 1304, herein below is sent to server 106 by vendor terminal 111：Vendor terminal 111 aforesaid date in future, moment and position；The operating range 123 specified for this moment and position；And for Registered in specified operating range in the relevant information of the active customer of the service request of this date/moment/position Request.Active customer is these clients following using LLO arrangement：Passed through before vendor terminal 111 execution step 1302 Using on a specified date/moment/position and provide in specified operating range service process 1200 registered Service request, i.e. the client of its specified parameter and those match parameters of described vendor terminal 111.

In subsequent step 1305, vendor terminal 111 receives the information with regard to " active customer " from server 106, should Active customer is by using on a specified date/moment/position and offer service in specified operating range Registered those clients of service request of process 1200, the specified parameter of this client and described vendor terminal 111 that A little match parameters.Note, in the case of " service provides immediately ", term " active customer " refers to currently in operating range Client terminal such as 115, and for example pass through Fig. 9 in 903 shown in, LLO arrangement show this client terminal in zone of action Interior position.In the case of " in advance service provide ", term active client refer to by using on a specified date/ Moment/position and the registered client terminal example of service request of process 1200 that service is provided in specified operating range As 115, those match parameters of the specified parameter of this client terminal and described vendor terminal 111.This in advance in the case of, Also for example pass through Fig. 9 903 shown in, LLO arrangement show this client terminal date of enterprise/when be engraved in planning activity region Planning activity position.

In subsequent step 1306, vendor terminal 111 shows active customer on the display device, and this display device is supplying Business's terminal 111 is answered to can also be touch-sensitive in the case of being usually visualized graphs display, for receiving self terminal 111 The input of user（Referring to Fig. 9）.Then, process 1300 and follow arrow 1316 from step 1306 to deciding step 1311, determine at this Determine whether vendor terminal 111 inquiry taxi driver in step 1311 is wished based on the information driver showing in step 1306 Service is provided.If by using keypad 906 or touch-sensitive display 901, driver represents that it does want to provide service, process 1300 follow YES arrow from step 1311 to subsequent step 1307, and in this step 1307, taxi driver is by using keypad 906 or touch-sensitive display 901 selecting on display 901 one of active customer of display.It is back to step 1311, if department Machine probably due to work is not suitable for or represents that for certain other reasons it is not intended to provide service, then processes 1300 and follows NO Arrow from step 1311 to step 1312, pass through to initialize vendor terminal 111 and correspondingly notify server by this step 1312 106 cancellations are processed.Server can be retained in the information of the active customer being used in this event previously having shown on the server.

After step 1307, two process abreast occur in this example.Note, this operation repetitive is only at LLO The example how reason 1300 is operated, and can be using other orders or operation repetitive.

In this example, in step 1308, built using the taxi driver and client terminal 115 of vendor terminal 111 Stand and be bi-directionally connected, as shown in the step 9 in Figure 11.Then, taxi driver and client discuss required for taxi driver each other The various details for finding client as previously mentioned in specified date in future/moment/position.In parallel step 1309, Vendor terminal 111 indicates that server 106 deletes the information that client terminal 115 provides when asking current taxi to work. This is relevant with the step 10 in Figure 11.Then, process 1300 to be turned to work insertion vendor terminal 111 according to arrow 1314 Step 1313 in queue, this queue is stored in suitable data structure by LLO software application 233.In a kind of arrangement In, software application 233 assumes calendar on display 901, reminds every morning taxi driver to have subscribed in queue Which work.Then, process 1300 is followed arrow 1310 and is returned to step 1301.

Note, vendor terminal 111 can be used for multiple times process 1300 to produce continuous work request as needed.Cause This, for example, if supplier wishes to search the taxi in various location for 8 points of ensuing three Friday nights Work, then can be with suitable parameter using process 1,300 3 times.

LLO arrangement described in taxi example as mentioned-above can be used multiple by user and ISP Mobile communication equipment is putting into practice.Modern comfort such as third generation cell phone " 3G "（Such as shown those in figure 9 and in figure 10 Equipment）There is the big display that can also be touch-sensitive.Such equipment can simply be supported to download third party software from website Application, so that LLO arrangement can be used for very vast supplier and client.Such premium terminals can individually rely on tactile Quick display and " soft key ", what this soft key as showed over the display is intended for replacing showing for example at 906 and 1004 The icon of " hard " key showing.LLO arrangement can also be put into practice on old-fashioned mobile terminal although inconvenient for a user.
