- the multistate selection panel can provide different dessert types that are available for selection by a user in the region. If ice cream is unavailable for a particular region, while tarts, cookies, or cheesecakes are available for a user to request, the multistate selection panel can enable only tarts, cookies, or cheesecakes to be selected by the user in requesting the on-demand dessert service.
- the user interface feature 121 can correspond to a summary panel that displays region-specific information about the selected service option. For example, for an on-demand food or dessert service, once a user makes a selection of a type of service (e.g., a type of food or a certain food truck, etc.), the summary panel can display information about the closest available food provider, the average cost for an order, menu details, service provider profile information, or other information that the user can quickly view to make an informed decision.
- a type of service e.g., a type of food or a certain food truck, etc.
- the summary panel can provide region-specific information, such as the estimated time of arrival for pickup (based on the user's current location or pickup location and the current locations of the available vehicles of the selected type), the average fare based on the region (e.g., the average estimated fare can be region-specific because some regions can be more expensive than other regions and/or some vehicle types can be more expensive than other vehicle types), and the capacity of the vehicle (how many riders can fit in the vehicle).
- the summary panel can be provided concurrently with the multistate selection panel so that when the user manipulates the multistate selection feature to select different service options, the content within the summary panel can be dynamically adjusted by the on-demand service application 110 to provide updated information corresponding to the selected option.
- the application manager 115 can cause the UI component 120 to provide user interface features 121 that are based on the selected service option.
- the user can then make a request for the on-demand service based on the selection.
- a confirmation user interface feature 121 can be provided by the on-demand service application 110 . From this user interface feature, the user can view the details of the request, such as what account or credit card to charge (and can edit or choose a different payment method), provide specific requests to the driver, enter a promotional code for a discount, calculate the price, cancel the request, or confirm the request.
- the request can be automatically confirmed without displaying a confirmation user interface feature 121 .
- the on-demand service application 110 can provide the service request 117 to the on-demand service system 170 via the service interface 125 .
- the service request 117 can include the service location specified by the user (e.g., the location where the user would like the service to be performed or provided), the user's account information, the selected service option, any specific notes or requests to the service provider, and/or other information provided by the user.
- the on-demand service system 170 can arrange the service between the user and an available service provider that is qualified and capable of providing the on-demand service.
- the on-demand service system 170 can provide additional provider information 173 to the on-demand service application 110 , such as the particular service provider who will be fulfilling the service, the service provider's ratings, etc., so that this information can be provided to the user on a user interface 121 .
- FIG. 2 illustrates an example method for providing on-demand service user interface features on a computing device, according to an embodiment.
- a method such as described by an embodiment of FIG. 2 can be implemented using, for example, components described with an embodiment of FIG. 1 . Accordingly, references made to elements of FIG. 1 are for purposes of illustrating a suitable element or component for performing a step or sub-step being described.
- the on-demand service application can automatically determine the current location of the computing device (step 210 ).
- the current location of the computing device (or the selected service location for the on-demand service) can be determined based on location data provided by a geo-aware resource, such as a GPS component of the computing device (sub-step 212 ), based on user input to search and/or select particular locations (sub-step 214 ), and/or based on historical data of previous pickup locations of the user (sub-step 216 ).
- a region or area that includes the current location or the service location in which the on-demand services are to be performed can be determined by the on-demand service application and/or the on-demand service system.
- the on-demand service system can identify available service providers (e.g., drivers, food trucks, dessert providers, mariachi bands) in the region that can perform the on-demand service.
- a multistate selection feature for selecting one or more of a plurality of service options can be presented on a display of the computing device (step 220 ).
- the multistate selection feature can identify, and enable a user to select one of various service options available for a particular on-demand service.
- the multistate selection feature can identify the specific available vehicle types (e.g., Sedan, Taxi, SUV, hybrid vehicle, electric vehicle, limousine, etc.) that the user can request for an on-demand transport service.
- the multistate selection feature identifies only those vehicle types that are available in that region to provide the on-demand transport service, so that vehicle types that are unavailable cannot be selected by the user. For example, in one region, such as a particular city, only Sedans and Taxis may be available, whereas in another city, Sedans, Taxis, and SUVs may be available for transport.
- the user is enabled to interact with the multistate selection feature in order to make a selection of one or more of the plurality of service options (step 230 ).
- the multistate selection feature that is displayed to the user can be a slider panel with a selectable icon that can slide along a track.
- the multistate selection feature can include features to toggle on or off each of the different available service options in that region. For example, on a mobile computing device with a touch-sensitive display, the user can tap on the different service options to cause the selectable icon to move to the selected option, or hold and drag the selectable icon between the different service options along a track or path.
- an indication can be displayed to provide feedback to the user (e.g., when the SUV vehicle type is selected for a transport application, the selectable icon can display an image of an SUV rather than an image of a Sedan or other previously selected vehicle type).
- the application displays user interface features that are region-specific and selection-specific.
- a region-specific summary user interface is presented based on the selected service option of the user (step 240 ).
- the summary user interface can be region-specific because different regions can have different pricing structures based on usage of the service in the city, the amount of available service providers and/or users, the overall cost of living, etc.
- the summary user interface can provide a variety of region-specific and selection-specific content to the user so that the user can specify the transport service he or she prefers.
- the summary user interface can identify the estimated time of arrival of the driver (having the selected vehicle type) to the user's current location or service location (e.g., pickup location).
- the summary user interface can also display the region-specific average fare for the vehicle of the selected type (e.g., the average fare can be an estimated fare based on the locations of the available vehicles and the location of the user), and identify the maximum capacity (number of people the vehicle can drive at once) for the selected vehicle type.
- the summary user interface can also be displayed concurrently with the multistate selection feature so that when the user changes the selected service option to select a different service option, the summary user interface can dynamically alter the content based on the adjusted selections. In this manner, the user can easily view the differences (e.g., differences in cost, vehicle size, estimated time for performing the service, estimated time of arrival, types of foods available, etc.) between the service options to make a better judgment on what on-demand service options to request.
- differences e.g., differences in cost, vehicle size, estimated time for performing the service, estimated time of arrival, types of foods available, etc.

- the home page user interface 300 a can also include a multistate selection feature 320 .
- the multistate selection feature 320 can include a slider feature 322 that can be manipulated by the user to be moved along a track 321 .
- the multistate selection feature 320 can identify a plurality of service types that are available for providing, for instance, a transport service for the user based on the user's current location (or pickup location). Depending on the user's location, available service providers can be determined for a particular region that includes the user's current location or pickup location. For example, the region can be a city, such as San Francisco, Calif., and the multistate selection feature 320 can identify vehicle types that are available for providing the transport service within the general vicinity or area of San Francisco, Calif.
- the multistate selection feature 320 is region-specific so that only the vehicles that are specifically available in San Francisco, Calif. can be selected by the user.
- the available vehicle types in FIG. 3C include Taxis, Sedans, and SUVs or Any type of vehicle available to the user. These vehicle types can each be indicated by an identifier 325 that is shown above a corresponding selection point along the track 321 .
- the vehicle types that are not available in the region can be identified differently so that the user can determine which vehicle types cannot be selected for the transport service. In FIG.
- “UBERx” vehicles which are identified to be a different type of vehicle as compared to Taxis, Sedans, or SUVs (such as a limousine or hybrid vehicle), are not available in the region of San Francisco, Calif.
- Some examples to differentiate available types of vehicles as compared to unavailable types of vehicles include using providing an identifier 327 with different characteristics (e.g., varying font colors, font shading, font sizes), or by not including an identifier in its entirety or blocking out the identifier 327 from appearing on the multistate selection feature 320 .
- the identifier 325 of the selected vehicle type can also be changed to identify the selection.
- the identifier “Sedan” is elevated as compared to the other identifiers to indicate the selection of “Sedan” type vehicles.
- the selected identifier can be altered in size, color, font, etc., to easily indicate to the user of the selection.
- the graphic 323 provided within the slider feature 322 can dynamically change in order to correspond to the selection (e.g., a graphic of a vehicle that corresponds to a selected vehicle type, a graphic of food type, a graphic of an entertainment selection, etc.).
- the slider feature 322 can initially be positioned at a default vehicle type or a default vehicle type that is selected and programmed by the user. In other variations, the slider feature 322 can be initially positioned at a vehicle type that has most frequently been used by the user to request the transport service, or can initially be positioned at a vehicle type that was previously used by the user to request a transport service.
- the home page user interface 300 a can also include a map that illustrates at least a portion of the region in which the user's current location or pickup location is located in.
- the map can include a graphic pin 313 that indicates the user's current location or pickup location.
- the home page user interface 300 a can also include a feature (proximate to or as part of the graphic pin 313 ) that indicates an estimated time of arrival 330 of an available service provider having a vehicle of the selected type, and a request selection feature 340 to enable the user to request the transport service using the selected vehicle type.
- the estimated time of arrival 330 can dynamically be altered in response to the user changing the selection by moving the slider feature 322 along the path 321 .
- the on-demand service application that operates on the user's computing device can communicate with the on-demand service system to receive real-time information about service providers in the determined region of the user.
- the on-demand service system can continually (periodically) receive data from the computing devices of the service providers (e.g., such as GPS data, driver and vehicle information) in order to determine the current location of the service providers, the speed and direction in which the service provider is moving, whether a service provider is currently providing a transport service (e.g., is currently occupied), etc., and other service provider information.
- the on-demand service application can receive information about one or more service providers in the vicinity of the user's current location or pickup location in order to provide real-time information to the user.
- one or more graphic vehicle indicators 315 can be dynamically provided on the map to indicate to the user the current/real-time locations and movements of the service providers having the selected vehicle type.
- the graphic vehicle indicators 315 can indicate to the user that the driver is currently available to service the user and is within the region or portion of the region in which the user's current location or pickup location is located in.
- the user has selected Sedan vehicles as the vehicle type in which he or she would like to potentially request a transport service.
- the map can display graphic vehicle indicators 315 that visually represent Sedan vehicles that are near the current location or pickup location of the user. If the user changes the vehicle selection using the multistate selection feature 320 to select SUVs, the graphic vehicle indicators 315 of the Sedans can be removed from the map and one or more graphic vehicle indicators 315 (if any) of SUVs can be provided on the map.
- one or more graphic vehicle indicators 315 can move on the map corresponding to the real-time and real-life movements of the service providers' vehicles relative to the user's current location or pickup location.
- the movements of the graphic vehicle indicators 315 can be determined using provider data (e.g., via provider information 177 transmitted by the transport service system in FIG. 1 ) that includes GPS data of the drivers' vehicles.
- the transport service system can also use one or more databases of streets and roads for maps (e.g., including external databases maintained by third parties or other map sources) to determine how the graphic vehicle indicators 315 can be oriented and moved on a map that is presented to the user (e.g., as part of the home page user interface 300 a ).
- the one or more databases can include geocoding information that make up individual streets and roads. By taking the GPS points or coordinates of available vehicles (from the service providers' devices) and drawing lines between the points, the GPS points and lines can be aligned with the geocoding information from the databases. In this manner, real-time vehicle movements and locations can be correlated to maps of streets and roads so that the graphic vehicle indicators 315 can be displayed to the user.
- the transport service system can correct for inconsistencies and smooth out lines between GPS points so that the corresponding graphic vehicle indicators 315 can be accurately displayed on a map to the user on the user's computing device (e.g., on user interface 300 a ).
- the graphic vehicle indicators 315 can then be oriented and aligned in the appropriate directions on the appropriate streets so that the user can easily determine the locations and directions of movement of nearby service provider vehicles, and determine what side of the street the service provider vehicles are on.
- a summary user interface 350 a can be presented to the user.
- the summary user interface 350 a can overlay the previously displayed user interface feature, such as the home page user interface 300 a , so that a portion of the previously displayed user interface feature can be continued to be displayed to the user.
- the summary user interface 350 a can include a summary panel 360 that is displayed over the previously displayed user interface feature, such as the home page user interface 300 a .
- the summary panel 360 can be presented concurrently with the multistate selection feature 320 .
- a semi-transparent shading 370 can overlay a portion of the previously displayed user interface feature so that the user can continue to view information provided on portions of the previously displayed user interface.
- the summary panel 360 can include a variety of information related to a transport service that is specific to the locality (e.g., the region) of the user and the selected vehicle type.
- the summary panel 360 can include an estimated time of arrival (ETA) section 361 , an average fare section 363 , and a maximum capacity section 365 , that each include dynamically provided content that is location-specific (e.g., region-specific) and vehicle-specific.
- ETA estimated time of arrival
- Each of the sections can also include a graphic to represent the corresponding content (e.g., a watch or clock, a receipt or ticket, person).
- the information provided within the sections 361 , 363 , 365 can also be dynamically adjusted based on the real-time conditions of the service providers (e.g., the estimated time of arrival can be decreased or increased, or the average estimated fare can be adjusted).
- the location-specific information is based on the selected vehicle type
- the information provided within the sections 361 , 363 , 365 can be dynamically adjusted.
- the user can also move the slider feature 322 to select different vehicle types and cause the content within the sections 361 , 363 , 365 to change accordingly.
- the maximum capacity of an SUV or Van can be more than four, for example, compared to a Sedan, which can be three, and the closest SUV or Van can be much further away than a Sedan, which can cause the estimated time of arrival to be altered.
- a Sedan can be cheaper than an SUV in the user's current region, so that the average estimated fare can be dynamically decreased in cost.
- the user can also select a completion feature 367 when he or she has finished viewing the information corresponding to the selected vehicle type. Selecting the completion feature 367 can close the summary user interface 350 a to remove the summary panel 360 . In other examples, selecting other portions of the summary user interface 350 a (e.g., selecting on a region of the semi-transparent shading 370 ) can cause the summary user interface 350 a to be closed (e.g., no longer presented to the user). When the user is done selecting the vehicle type, other user interface features can be provided to enable the user to request the transport service.
- the transport application can also provide transport specific information to the user using languages, symbols, and/or prices based on the user's location.
- the different vehicle types displayed in the multistate selection feature 320 can be identified in French, German, Spanish, etc., based on the country the user operates the transportation application in (e.g., instead of “Sedan” or “Any”).
- a user can choose to have information provided by the transport application in a particular language (e.g., select a language for the application), such as when first installing the transport application or by selecting a language when first registering the user's device, etc.
- the user is also free to change languages upon his or her preference.
- the content within the sections 361 , 363 , 365 of the summary user interface 350 a can also be provided in a language selected by the user and/or based on the user's location. If the user was currently in London, England, for example, the average fare section 363 would display the average cost for the selected vehicle type in pounds (GBP) instead of dollars (USD).
- GBP pounds
- USD dollars
- FIG. 3E illustrates another example of a home page user interface or request user interface 300 b .
- a user can interact with the home page user interface 300 b , such as the request selection feature 340 , in order to request a service (e.g., a transport service).
- the home page user interface 300 b can have a similar layout as the layout of the home page user interface 300 a illustrated in FIG. 3C , but have some differences. For example, in the home page user interface 300 b , only four types of available service options are displayed on a multistate selection feature 320 .
- FIG. 3F illustrates another example of a summary user interface 350 b .
- the summary user interface 350 b can have a similar layout at the layout of the summary user interface 350 a illustrated in FIG. 3D .
- the summary panel 360 can display information related to a transport service that is specific to the locality (e.g., the region) of the user and the selected vehicle type (e.g., “Black Car”).
- the summary panel 360 can also include a selectable fare feature 369 that can display additional or detailed information about the fare.
- ETA estimated time of arrival
- the home page user interface 380 of FIG. 3G can also be provided by the transport application.
- the home page user interface 380 can correspond to a transition interface that is displayed while content in the request selection feature 340 is being updated or modified.
- the transport application is initially loading or is processing information as a result of user input (e.g., manipulation of slider feature 322 )
- different graphics/text can be provided within the request selection feature 340 and/or the estimated time of arrival 330 .
- the home page user interface 380 (and other user interfaces for other on-demand services as described in FIGS. 1-3F ) can also include a price adjustment (or surge pricing) selectable feature 381 .
- the transport service system can dynamically adjust the price for transport service in a given region based on real-time conditions. Based on real-time conditions, such as the high (or low) demand of transport service requests or the high (or low) supply of available transport service providers, the transport service system can increase or decrease the price for the transport service in that region.
- the price adjustment feature 381 can be provided to a user interface feature, such as the home page user interfaces 300 a , 300 b , 380 .
- a price adjustment icon 383 can be provided with one or more vehicle types in a user's region to inform the user which particular vehicles are subject to the price adjustment. Dynamic price adjustment is described in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/612,471, filed Mar. 19, 2012 (the aforementioned application being incorporated by reference in its entirety).
- the home page user interface 380 can also include a promotional selection feature 391 .
- the promotional selection feature 391 can be selected by a user to view dynamically provided promotional content that the user can view and request when requesting the transport service. Promotional content is further described with FIGS. 8A-8D below.
- FIG. 3H illustrates another example of a user interface feature that can be displayed by an on-demand service application.
- the user interface 395 can be displayed by the on-demand service application in response to a user interacting with a previously displayed user interface (e.g., such as the user interfaces 300 a , 300 b , 350 a , 350 b , 380 , 500 of FIG. 5A , etc.)
- the user interface 395 displays a full screen (or close to full screen) view of an expanded map 396 that provides information about the user's location (marked by a graphic pin, such as the graphic pin 313 of FIG. 3C ) as well as one or more graphic vehicle indicators that are dynamically provided on the map 396 to indicate the current/real-time locations and movements of the available service providers.
- the user interface 395 can be presented with an expanded map 396 that has been expanded to fit the size of a display screen of the computing device in response to a user selection.
- the user selection can correspond to, for example, the user interacting with (e.g., tapping, tapping and holding, or double tapping, etc.) a portion of a map of a previously displayed user interface.
- the map can expand from a first size (e.g., from the window size in FIG. 3G ) to a second size (e.g., to the size in FIG. 3H ).
- a graphical transition can be provided to show the transition between the map in a previously displayed user interface to the expanded map 396 in the user interface 395 .
- the user interface 395 can also include a reduce feature 397 that can be selectable in order to return the map to a previous size and re-display the previously displayed user interface feature.
- the graphic transition can show the transition of the expanded map 396 reducing in size from the larger size to a smaller size, such as the map in FIG. 3G .
- the user can then again view the different options, such as the multistate selection feature 320 of FIG. 3G .
- the user interface 395 can be displayed in response to the user interacting with the map of the confirmation user interface 500 of FIG. 5A . Selecting the reduce feature 397 would then cause the confirmation user interface 500 to be re-displayed so that the user can view the information before confirming the request.
- FIGS. 4A-4C illustrate examples of user interfaces that are displayed to a user to enable the user to select a service location for an on-demand service, under another embodiment.
- the location suggestion user interface 400 , and/or the location search user interfaces 450 , 495 illustrate user interfaces that can be provided by the on-demand service application in response to the user requesting to make a manual selection of a service location.
- the location suggestion user interface 400 enables a user to select particular locations, such as stores, restaurants, parks, venues, etc., that can be precisely and easily identified by a service provider when the user requests to have the on-demand service be performed or fulfilled. For example, the user can select the location at which the user would like his or her food to be delivered at (e.g., the user's office or home, or a friend's apartment, etc.) or the location where the mariachi band should play at (e.g., at a bar or restaurant). In another example, referring back to FIG. 3E , when accessing a transport service application, the user can select the pickup location identifier 310 in order to view suggestions 430 of various locations and venues that are located in the vicinity of the user's current location.
- locations such as stores, restaurants, parks, venues, etc.
- the user can select the entry 440 for Nanigans SF as the pickup location for the transport service. Once the user makes the selection, the pickup location identifier 310 of FIG. 3E can identify the pickup location to be Nanigans SF.
- other suggested entries 440 can be provided based on historical/previous pickup locations of the user and/or based on user-specific data.
- the on-demand service application can access user information that includes previously requested services and/or personal user information (e.g., the user's home address, the user's place of business, the user's preferences) to provide one or more user-based location entries 420 , 440 .
- Historical information such as the frequency or recency of previous service locations that the user requested service to be performed at, can be used to provide recent and/or recommended points of interest to the user.
- the on-demand service application can predict what particular service locations the user would like to select.
- the one or more suggested entries 440 can be displayed based on a combination of the user's current location (e.g., the nearness of service locations) and the recency of previous service locations and/or the total frequency of particular service locations.
- the suggested locations can also be ranked based on the scores of the suggested locations determined using a recency, frequency, or nearness algorithm.
- the user can also select the search field 410 in order to search for other locations or venues that are not listed in the suggestions 420 , 430 .
- a cancellation feature 415 can be selected by the user to close the location suggestion user interface 400 and request service at the location already determined and identified on a location identifier (such as the pickup location identifier 310 of FIGS. 3C , 3 E).
- the location search user interface 450 of FIG. 4B enables the user to manually provide input (e.g., such as at least portions of an address, a name of a store, a street name, a city, etc.) in the search field 460 to search for particular locations, stores, buildings, or venues to select as a service location.
- the on-demand service application can communicate, via APIs, with one or more other applications or programs to display a keyboard 490 as part of the location search user interface 450 .
- entries 480 can be provided that match (at least in portion) the characters provided in the search field 460 .
- the user can also select the “search” feature 470 to cause the on-demand service application to perform a search (e.g., of one or more internal and external location or map databases of the on-demand service system) using the search term or characters provided in the search field 460 as the search query.
- the search results 496 can be provided on the location search user interface 495 of FIG. 4C for user selection.
- the location search user interface 495 can also display a feature 497 that identifies one or more sources that were queried to determine the search results 496 .
- FIG. 5 illustrates an example method for determining a location related to an on-demand service request, under an embodiment.
- a method such as described by an embodiment of FIG. 5 can be implemented using, for example, components described with an embodiment of FIG. 1 . Accordingly, references made to elements of FIG. 1 are for purposes of illustrating a suitable element or component for performing a step or sub-step being described. Depending on implementation, one or more of the steps described in FIG. 5 can be performed by the on-demand service application 110 and/or the one-demand service system 170 .
- the user can provide a service request input via a mobile computing device (step 510 ).
- the user can provide service request input without manually specifying a location.
- the user may specify a pickup or drop-off region to coincide with the location where the user requested service on their geo-aware device.
- a user can operate an on-demand service application and request the transport service using one or more user interface features (such as described with FIGS. 1-4C ).
- the service application can utilize, for example, the mapping/GPS functionality of the computing device to determine a region of the device when the request is made.
- the transport request can include a pickup region (sub-step 512 ) and/or a drop-off region (sub-step 514 ).
- Region is intended to mean an area that encompasses multiple locations, where each location identifies or correlates to an address or a landmark.
- the on-demand service application and/or the on-demand service system can attempt to identify a more precise location related to the service request.
- the user's mobile computing device can determine its general position or region using a GPS component.
- the GPS measurements of the position of the device can identify a region (e.g., a half-block or block, a shopping center, a business district, or a large building, etc.) encompassing many locations (e.g., multiple businesses or addresses), rather than a specific location (e.g., as identified by specific address).
- the user may specify a region as input by, for example, selecting an area of a map as a pickup region or a drop-off region. Again, such a specified region can point to a neighborhood having multiple homes at the end of a street, can point to a shopping center with numerous entrances and stores, or can point to a strip mall having many stores within a small geographic area, etc.
- the on-demand service application and/or the on-demand service system can use location information about the pickup region and/or the drop-off region to determine one or more locations of interest within the region (step 520 ).
- the location information can be cross-referenced with the other sources or databases, such as a business directory, that maintain location information with business, stores, restaurants, venues, landmarks, etc. (sub-step 522 ).
- the on-demand service application and/or the on-demand service system can identify one or more locations of interests within the region specified with the service request (e.g., a region specified by the user and/or a region of the device when the request was made).
- the pickup region and/or the drop-off region can also be compared with historical locations related to the user (step 530 ).
- a user of a service application can request a service at a location in which the user previously requested the service.
- the on-demand service application and/or the on-demand service system can compare the region specified with the service request in order to determine if the user is likely requesting service at a location related to the user.
- the locations related to the user can include the user's most recent location(s) (e.g., previous service locations requested within a certain past time frame) (sub-step 532 ), the user's most common locations (sub-step 534 ), and the user's previously visited location that is closest to the user's current location and/or the user's specified region (sub-step 536 ).
- the user's most recent location(s) e.g., previous service locations requested within a certain past time frame
- sub-step 534 the user's most common locations
- the on-demand service application and/or the on-demand service system can determine one or more likely locations for the user (step 540 ).
- the on-demand service application can provide a prompt as part of a user interface feature asking the user whether the likely location is a location the user would like to be picked up at or dropped off at (e.g., “Do you want to be picked up at Joe's Coffee Shop?”). If the user confirms the location, the service request can be processed and the service can be arranged for the user (step 550 ).
- the on-demand service application can determine the next likely location and provide a second prompt to the user (e.g., and so forth). In this manner, the service application and/or the on-demand service system can attempt to provide a more precise location for the user based on the location information provided with the user's service request.
- the on-demand service application can determine one or more likely locations for a user without user input as to user's location or region. For example, for a transport service request, the on-demand service application can automatically determine the user's pickup region using geo-aware resources (e.g., a GPS component) of the user's computing device and assume that the determined region includes a location that the user wishes pickup at. Accordingly, when the user requests transport (e.g., without specifying a particular location), the on-demand service application can prompt the user with a determined likely location that is based on the user's location at the time of the request.
- geo-aware resources e.g., a GPS component
- FIGS. 6A-6B illustrate examples of confirmation user interfaces that are displayed to a user when an on-demand service has been requested, according to an embodiment.
- the confirmation user interface 600 of FIG. 6A can illustrate a user interface that is provided by a transport service application in response to the user requesting a transport service. After the user selects a vehicle type, the user can request the transport service by selecting the request selection feature 340 of FIGS. 3C , 3 E.
- a confirmation user interface can be provided in response to the user requesting other on-demand services using other respective on-demand service applications.
- a confirmation user interface 600 can provide a variety of information that the user can confirm before the on-demand service system arranges the on-demand service for the user.
- the confirmation user interface 600 can include a pickup location marker 620 and a pickup location panel 610 that identifies the selected vehicle type (e.g., Sedan) as a graphic and/or text, and the pickup location (e.g., automatically determined from the current user location or determined from user selections).
- the confirmation user interface 600 can also include additional features, such as markers 630 (a marker identifying the destination, if selected by a user via a user interface, or a marker identifying the current location of the driver that is to provide the transport service).

- the on-demand service system can then receive appropriate information from the on-demand service application, charge the account, communicate with available service providers in the vicinity of the user's service location, arrange the on-demand service between the user and a driver, and/or provide a transaction confirmation or receipt to the user. If the information provided on the confirmation user interface 600 is incorrect, or the user wishes to cancel the request for whatever reason, the user can simply select the “cancel” feature to change the service options and/or the service location.
- FIG. 6B illustrates another example of a confirmation user interface 690 .
- the confirmation user interface 690 can present similar information to that of the confirmation user interface 600 of FIG. 6A , but arranged in a different manner. For example, instead of displaying a pickup location panel 610 (e.g., as displayed in FIG. 6A ), the confirmation user interface 690 can simply provide a pin representing the user's location and/or the pick up or drop off location on the map itself.
- the confirmation user interface 690 can also enable a user to correct or after a pick up location or drop off location without having to backtrack or return to previously displayed user interfaces (e.g., user interfaces for requesting a service or for searching for a location).
- the user can, for example, interact with the service location identifier and/or the displayed map in order to change a service location.
- a user can also interact directly with the displayed map of the confirmation user interface 690 in order to dynamically adjust the displayed portion of the map (e.g., pan, zoom in, zoom out).
- the user can zoom in/out and/or pan the map in one or more directions, for example, to see the closest available service provider(s) or the overall geography (streets, freeways, locations of interest, etc.) of the region.
- the confirmation user interface 690 can dynamically display different portions of the map based on user preference.
- the confirmation user interface 690 can include a confirmation feature 695 that dynamically alters its text (e.g., its content within the selectable feature) based on the user selections for the service. For example, instead of the text “confirm” within the confirmation feature 680 , the confirmation feature 695 can specify “request black car” or “request sedan,” etc., based on the user selected request.
- the confirmation user interfaces 600 , 690 can display information about the user's requested service in a clear and informative manner on a single panel.
- FIGS. 7A-7B illustrate examples of fare information panels that provide additional information about a fare for an on-demand service, under an embodiment.
- a fare information panel 700 can be generated and displayed as part of a user interface to provide more detailed fare information to a user (e.g., for a transport service).
- the fare information panel 700 can be a pop up, for example, in response to a user input for viewing additional fare information.
- the fare information panel 700 can include information about the base fare 710 , the cost or fare per minute 720 in situations when the average speed is between 0 miles per hour (e.g., the vehicle is stopped) and 11 mph, and the cost or fare per mile 730 in situations when the average speed is higher than 11 mph.
- Such information can be provided with a visual chart or graph to enable the user to easily understand the fare amounts for the service.
- the detailed information provided in the fare information panel 700 can identify an estimated or anticipated fare for the service, or can identify the actual fare that a service provider abides by.
- the detailed information can be adjusted depending the user's location (e.g., the user's current location, the pickup location and/or destination location, etc.) and the user's selected service option.
- the determined fares 710 , 720 , 730 can be adjusted depending on the type of vehicle the user has selected (e.g., via the multistate selection panel).
- the threshold levels for the fares can be adjusted depending on the user's location or the service option (e.g., instead of 11 mph, increased to 13 mph).
- FIG. 7B illustrates an example of the fare information panel 700 as provided with a user interface of an on-demand service application.
- the fare information panel 700 is displayed with a summary panel and a multistate selection feature in the example of FIG. 7B
- the fare information panel 700 can be provided on other user interfaces, such as with the confirmation user interfaces of FIGS. 6A-6B .
- the user interface feature 750 illustrates the fare information panel 700 being displayed as a result of the user selecting the selectable fare feature 760 (e.g., “rates”).
- the user can select other features, such as the average fare section 770 of the summary panel or the “calculate fare” or “fare estimate” features of the confirmation user interfaces, in order to cause the fare information panel 700 to be provided (as a pop up, for example) on the user interface 750 .
- the fare information panel 700 can be located and displayed proximate to or near the feature selected by the user. By providing a fare information panel 700 , the user can see a comprehensive view of the costs for a service before making the decision to request the service using the on-demand service application.
- FIGS. 8A-8D illustrate an example series of user interfaces that are displayed to a user to provide additional content, under an embodiment.
- FIGS. 8A-8D can illustrate a graphical transition between user interface features that occur in a short period of time (e.g., milliseconds, a second, etc.).
- the user interfaces of FIGS. 8A-8D correspond to interfaces that are provided by an on-demand transport application, but features described in FIGS. 8A-8D can also be provided by other on-demand service applications (e.g., applications that can enable the user to request other on-demand services).

Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/961,493, filed Dec. 6, 2010, entitled “System and Method for Arranging Transport Amongst Parties Through Use of Mobile Devices,” which claims benefit of priority to Provisional U.S. Patent Application No. 61/266,996, filed Dec. 4, 2009; the aforementioned applications being incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- Embodiments described herein pertain generally to a system and method for providing on-demand services through use of portable computing devices.
- Current on-demand services, such as fleet management systems employed for Taxi and limousine fleets, typically utilize onboard metering devices, radios, and cell phones to dispatch drivers and monitor fares. Such systems typically are not communicative to customers that are waiting for pickup. In addition, although some on-demand services use position information provided by computing devices of customers in relation to providing services, the global positioning system (GPS) data provided by a computing device may not necessarily be accurate due to component defects or signal interference (e.g., typically in urban areas).
-
FIG. 1 illustrates an example system for enabling a user to request on-demand services using a computing device, under an embodiment. -
FIG. 2 illustrates an example method for enabling a user to request on-demand services using a computing device, according to an embodiment. -
FIGS. 3A-3H illustrate examples of user interfaces that are displayed to a user to enable the user to request an on-demand service, according to an embodiment. -
FIGS. 4A-4C illustrate examples of user interfaces that are displayed to a user to enable the user to select a pickup location for an on-demand service, under another embodiment. -
FIG. 5 illustrates an example method for determining a location related to an on-demand service request, under an embodiment. -
FIGS. 6A-6B illustrate examples of confirmation user interfaces that are displayed to a user when an on-demand service has been requested, according to an embodiment. -
FIGS. 7A-7B illustrate examples of fare information panels that provide additional information about a fare for an on-demand service, under an embodiment. -
FIGS. 8A-8D illustrate an example series of user interfaces that are displayed to a user to provide additional content for various on-demand services, under an embodiment. -
FIG. 9 is a block diagram that illustrates a mobile computing device upon which embodiments described herein may be implemented. - Embodiments described herein provide an interactive environment for enabling a user to request on-demand services using a computing device. In particular, some embodiments described herein enable mobile computing devices, such as smart phones and geo-aware cellular telephony devices, to be used in connection with an on-demand service that enables the user to request services, such as a delivery service or transport service, using a simplified user interface schematic. Functionality, such as communicating the location of the user, the location of available service providers, the types of service available, the estimated fees and other information, can be aggregated and provided to the user in an efficient and user-friendly manner.
- In one embodiment, a computing device can operate an application for requesting on-demand services. The application can provide user interface features that provide a user of the application with information for enabling the user to request a particular type of service. For example, the user can be provided a mechanism for selecting services and service types, as well as displaying information that may affect the decision of the user in making such selections.
- According to some embodiments, the information and service options made available to the user can be region-specific. For example, different on-demand services and information about different services can be provided to the user based on the region that the user is located in. Thus, the service options made available to the user, as well as the information provided to the user regarding the service options can be made region specific.
- In some embodiments, different user interface features can be provided, at least in part, by an application or program that is stored and operated on the user's computing device. The application can be configured to communicate with an on-demand service system that arranges services between users and service providers (e.g., drivers for transport, ice cream delivery providers, personal telegram service providers, etc.). For example, a user can request food to be delivered to his or her office, and the on-demand service system can determine available food providers that satisfy the user's request and arrange for a food provider to perform the service. The user is enabled, via the user interface features, to make different selections for viewing specified information and for requesting different on-demand service options based on the user selections.
- According to an embodiment, a location of the computing device can be determined so that user interface features for requesting an on-demand service can be presented, on a display of the computing device, based on the device's real-time location. A multistate selection feature can be provided to enable a user to select a particular type of service. In one implementation, the multistate selection feature identifies a plurality of service options for an on-demand service (e.g., types of vehicles that can provide a transport service for the user, types of food trucks, delivery methods, etc.), based on a region where the user is located (e.g. the device's real-time location).
- In one embodiment, a summary user interface can be presented on the display in response to the user selecting one of the plurality of the service options, such as a vehicle type for a delivery or transport, or type of food service. The summary user interface can include region-specific information about the on-demand service that is particular to and based on the selected service option. For example, for an on-demand food service, the summary user interface can include region-specific information about the closest food service providers, types of foods available in the region, average prices for the foods, the inventory available, etc. In another example, the region-specific information can include an estimated time of arrival to the user's current location, the average price, the amount of space/capacity of the vehicle, etc. The provided information can assist the user in making a better informed decision in requesting the on-demand service. In some implementations, the user can interact with the multistate selection feature by selecting different service types or service options to cause the contents within the summary user interface to dynamically change accordingly.
- When a user makes a service request, the user can specify a location or region related to the service request. In one example, for a transport service request, the user can specify a pick-up location or region and/or a drop-off location or region via one or more user interface features provided by a service application. Based on the specified region, the service application and/or the on-demand service system can determine one or locations of interests and locations related to the user. The service application and/or the on-demand service system can use the determined locations in order to determine a likely location for the user.
- Still further, in some embodiments, once the user requests the on-demand service based on the selected service option, a confirmation user interface feature can be displayed to present additional features and information that the user can verify before confirming the request. When the user confirms the request (e.g., places an order), the computing device can provide the service request to the on-demand service system with necessary user data so that the on-demand service system can arrange the service between the user and an available service provider. The user can provide additional information on the confirmation user interface feature, such as, for example, special notes for the service provider or a promotional code before confirming the request.
- As described herein, a “user,” or a “customer” refer to individuals that are requesting or ordering an on-demand service. Also as described herein, a “provider,” or a “service provider” refer to individuals or entities that can provide the requested service. As an example, a user can request an on-demand service (e.g., car/Taxi service, food delivery, messenger service, telegram service, or provide a product) using the system, and a service provider can communicate with the system and/or the user to arrange to perform the service. In addition, as described herein, “customer devices” and “provider devices” refer to computing devices that can correspond to desktop computers, cellular or smartphones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptop computers, tablet devices, television (IP Television), etc., that can provide network connectivity and processing resources for enabling a user to communicate with a system over a network. A provider device can also correspond to taxi meters or other metering devices.

- System Description
-
FIG. 1 illustrates an example on-demand service user interface system, under an embodiment. According to some embodiments,system 100 can be implemented through software that operates on a portable computing device, such as amobile computing device 180.System 100 can be configured to communicate with one or more network services that coordinate or otherwise provide on-demand services. Additionally, the mobile computing device can include inherent or native functionality, and can utilize third-party services which enable further functionality throughsystem 100. - As an alternative or addition, some or all of the components of
system 100 can be implemented on one or more computing devices, such as on one or more servers or other mobile computing devices.System 100 can also be implemented through other computer systems in alternative architectures (e.g., peer-to-peer networks, etc.). Accordingly,system 100 can use data provided by an on-demand service system, data provided by other components of the mobile computing device, and information provided by a user in order to present user interface features and functionality for enabling the user to request an on-demand service. The user interface features can be specific to the location or region that the computing device is located in, so that region-specific information can be provided to the user.System 100 can also adjust the user interface features, including the content displayed as part of the user interface features, based on other user selections. - In some implementations,
system 100 includes an on-demand service application 110, amap component 140, amap database 143, and alocation determination 145. The components ofsystem 100 can combine to provide user interface features that are specific to user selections, user locality, and/or real-time conditions to enable a user to request on-demand services. The on-demand service application 110 can correspond to a program that is downloaded onto a smartphone, portable computer device (e.g., tablet or other ego-aware device). In one implementation, a user can download and install the on-demand service application 110 on his or her computing device and register thecomputing device 180 with an on-demand service system of the entity. - The on-
demand service application 110 can include anapplication manager 115, a user interface (UI)component 120, and aservice interface 125. Theservice interface 125 can be used to handle communications exchanged between the on-demand service application 110 and the on-demand service system 170 (e.g., over a network). For example, theservice interface 125 can use one or more network resources of thedevice 180 for exchanging communications over a wireless network. The network resources can include, for example, a cellular data/voice interface to enable the device to receive and send network communications over a cellular transport. As an alternative or variation, the network resources can include a wireless network interface for connecting to access points (e.g., Wireless Fidelity 802.11(g) or 802.11(n)) or for using other types of wireless mediums (e.g., WiMax) - The
application manager 115 can receiveuser input 111,location information 147, and other information (such asuser information 151 and/or historical information 153) to configure content that is to be provided by theUI component 120. For example, theUI component 120 can cause various user interface features 121 to be output to a display of thecomputing device 180. Some of the user interface features 121 can be region-specific (e.g., based on the current location of the computing device) to display information that is particular to the region. The user interface features 121 can also provide dynamically adjusted content based on user selections provided via theuser input 111. - For example, the
UI component 120 uses a UI framework that can be configured with various content, such asUI content 175 provided by the on-demand service system 170 and content as a result of user input. TheUI component 120 can also configure the UI framework withlocation information 147 andmap content 141. In this manner, a map of a region in which the user is currently located in can be displayed as part of auser interface feature 121. In some examples, themap component 140 can provide themap content 141 using map data stored in one ormore map databases 143. Based on the locale of the user and the user selection(s) made for requesting an on-demand service, such as a type of food or a type of vehicle that the user would like to be transported in, theapplication manager 115 can cause region-specific and user-selection-specific UI content 175 to be presented with or as part of auser interface 121. - In some implementations, the
user interfaces 121 can be configured by theapplication manager 115 to display information about on-demand services that are available for the user-specific region. On-demand services can include food services (e.g., users can order food, request mobile food providers such as food trucks, request dessert providers such as ice cream trucks), delivery services, transport services, telegram or entertainment services (e.g., users can request mariachi bands, singing quartets), or other services that the user can request via the on-demand service system. Based on the user's region, different services and service options can be available for the user. - For example, for an on-demand transport service, Taxicab vehicles may be available in one city, and unavailable in another. Similarly, a hybrid vehicle may be available in one city, and unavailable in another. In another example, for an entertainment service, an on-demand Mariachi band may be available in one country or region, and may not be available in other countries. In various examples described, the
user interfaces 121, which displays information about services available for a user, as well as features to enable the user to request services, can be configured with network user interface content (e.g., provided by the on-demand service system 170) to reflect the services available to the user based on the user's geographic region. The user is enabled to interact with the different displayed user interface features 121, via theuser input 111, to make selections and input preferences when requesting an on-demand service from the on-demand service system 170. - When the on-
demand service application 110 is operated by the user, thevarious user interfaces 121 can be rendered to the user based on theuser inputs 111 and/or information received from the on-demand service system 170. These user interfaces include, for example, a home page user interface (e.g., an initial page or launch page), a multistate selection feature, a summary user interface, a location suggestion user interface, a location search user interface, a confirmation user interface, or a combination of any of the features described. For example, theUI component 120 can cause a homepage user interface 121 to be displayed that identifies the service(s) that the user can request using the on-demand service application 110. The homepage user interface 121 can also provide only certain service selection options or types that are available in the user's region. In this manner, based on the current location of the computing device, the on-demand service application 110 can cause location-specific user interfaces 121 and content to be presented to the user. - In many instances, a geographic region that is specific to the user can be based on the user's current location (e.g., the current location of the computing device 180) or the user's requested service location (e.g., the pickup location for a transport service, or a delivery location for a food service). For example, in some cases, the current location can be different from the requested service location, so that the user can manually select a particular pickup location or delivery location that is different from the current location of the
computing device 180. The user's current location or service performance location can be determined by thelocation determination 145. - The
location determination 145 can determine the location of the computing device in different ways. In one example, thelocation determination 145 can receive global positioning system (GPS)data 161 from location-based/geo-aware resources 160 of thecomputing device 180. In addition, thelocation determination 145 can also receiveGPS data 161 from other applications or programs that operate on thecomputing device 160. For example,system 100 can communicate with one or more other applications using one or more application program interfaces (APIs). The on-demand service application 110 can use thelocation information 147 to cause theUI component 120 to configure the UI framework based on thelocation information 147. In addition, the on-demand service application 110 can provide the user'slocation data 119 to the on-demand service system 170. - As an addition or alternative, the on-
demand service application 110 and/or the on-demand service system 170 can determine the user's current location, pickup location, and/or drop-off location (i) by usinglocation data 177 provided by the on-demand service system 170, (ii) by using user location input provided by the user (via a user input 111), and/or (iii) by usinguser info 151 and/orhistorical info 153 stored in one ormore user databases 150. For example, the user can provide aninput 111 specifying a pickup region or a drop-off region by interacting with a map on a user interface of the on-demand service application. In some cases, theinput 111 can specify a general region (as opposed to a particular address). In such cases, theservice application 110 and/or the on-demand service system 170 can attempt to pin-point a more precise location for the user. - For example, the on-
demand service application 110 and/or the on-demand service system 170 can cross-reference the location data 119 (received from the on-demand service application 110) with the other sources or databases (e.g., third party servers and systems) that maintain location information to obtain granular/specific data about the particular identified location. In some cases, by cross-referencing the data, with a business directory, for example the on-demand service system 170 can identify particular stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, venues, street addresses, etc., that are proximate to and/or located at the identified location, and provide this information aslocation data 177 to the on-demand service application 110. Theapplication manager 115 can cause theUI component 120 to provide the specific location information as part of theuser interface 121 so that the user can select a particular store or venue as the current location or the service performance location (e.g., a pick up location or delivery location). - The on-
demand service application 110 can also receive user location input provided by the user to determine the current location or service location of the user. In one example, the on-demand service application 110 can cause theUI component 120 to present a location search user interface on the display. The user can input a search term to identify stores, restaurants, venues, addresses, etc., that the user wishes to request the on-demand service. The on-demand service application 110 can perform the search by querying one or more external sources to provide the search results to the user. In some variations, the user can manually provide user location input by entering an address (e.g., with a number, street, city, state) or by manipulating and moving a service location graphic/icon on a map that is displayed as part of auser interface 121. In response to the user selection, the on-demand service application 110 can provide thelocation data 119 to the on-demand service system 170. - In another variation, the on-
demand service application 110 can retrieve and useuser information 151 and/orhistorical information 153 that are stored in auser database 150. Theuser database 150 can include records of the user's previous on-demand service requests as well as user preferences. In some implementations, theuser database 150 can be stored remotely at the on-demand service system 170 and user information can be retrieved from the on-demand service system 170. The on-demand service application 110 can use the data stored in theuser database 150 to identify previous service locations for the user (e.g., a BBQ sandwichesfood ordering application 110 can access theuser database 150 for records of when the user ordered food and where the food was delivered to). Based, in part, on the current location of thecomputing device 180, the on-demand service application 110 can use theuser information 151, such as the user's home address, the user's place of business, the user's preferences, etc., andhistorical information 153, such as the frequency and recency of previous locations that the user requested services at, to provide recent and/or recommended points of interest to the user. When the user selects one of the entries of a recommended point of interest as a current location and/or pickup location, the on-demand service application 110 can provide thelocation data 119 to the on-demand service system 170. - Based on the user's current location or service location, the
application manager 115 can cause region-specific user interface features 121 to be outputted by theUI component 120. A region that is specific to the user includes the current location (or service location) in which on-demand services can be provided to the user. The region can be a city or metropolitan area in which thecomputing device 180 is currently located in, can be an area having a predetermined distance radius from current location (e.g., six miles), or can be an area that is specifically partitioned from other areas. Based on the user's region, theapplication manager 115 can cause region-specific information about the on-demand service to be provided on one or more user interface features 121. - Region-specific information about the on-demand service can be provided, in part, by the on-
demand service system 170. As discussed, the on-demand service application 110 can provide location information to the on-demand service system 170 so that the on-demand service system 170 can arrange for a service to be provided to a user (e.g., arrange a transport service or an entertainment provider service). Based on the user-specified region, the on-demand service system 170 can provide information about available service providers (e.g., drivers, or mariachi bands) that can perform the on-demand service in that region. - For example, for a transport service, a transport on-
demand service system 170 can maintain information about the number of available vehicles, the number of available drivers, which drivers are currently performing a transport service, which drivers are ready to pick up users, the current location of the vehicles, the direction and destination of the vehicles in motion, etc., in order to properly arrange the transport service between users and drivers. In another example, for a food service, a food on-demand service system 170 can maintain information about the different food trucks that are available, where the food trucks are, how long a food truck will be at a particular location, what type of foods are being served, etc. Because services can vary between regions, such as cities, theapplication manager 115 can cause only information pertinent to the user's specific region to be provided as part of theuser interface 121. - Using the information maintained about the services and the service providers, the on-
demand service system 170 can provide relevant information to the on-demand service application 110.Service information 171 can correspond to information about the particular on-demand service that can be arranged by the on-demand service system 170 (e.g., food services, delivery services, transport services, telegram or entertainment services).Service information 171 can include information about costs for the service, available service options (e.g., types of food available, types of entertainment, delivery options), or other details (e.g., available times, specials, etc.).Provider information 173 can correspond to information about the available service providers themselves, such as profile information about the providers, the current location or movement of the delivery vehicles, transport vehicles, food trucks, etc., or the types of vehicles. - Referring back to the example of an on-demand transport service, if the user requests pickup in San Francisco, Calif., the on-
demand service system 170 would look for available drivers within a particular distance or particular pickup time from the user (e.g., the system would not consider drivers in Los Angeles, Calif.). The on-demand service system 170 can transmit relevant service information 171 (e.g., cost for the service, promotions in the area) and relevant provider information 173 (e.g., driver information, vehicle information) to the on-demand service application 110 so that the on-demand service application 110 can cause region-specific information to be presented to the user. For any type of on-demand service, the on-demand service system 170 can transmitservice information 171 and/orservice provider information 173 to the on-demand service application 110. - As an example, a region-specific
user interface feature 121 can include a multistate selection panel. The multistate selection panel can include a multistate selection feature that can be manipulated and moved by the user (e.g., by interacting with an input mechanism or a touch-sensitive display screen) in order to select one or more service options to request the on-demand service. Based on the user's determined region, the multistate selection panel can identify and display only certain options that are available for providing the on-demand service in that region. For an on-demand transport service, for example, if limousines or SUVs are unavailable in a particular region, such as San Francisco, but Taxis, Sedans, and hybrid vehicles are available, the multistate selection panel can enable only the available vehicle types to be displayed and/or selected by the user. The indicators for the unavailable types of vehicles, such as limousines and SUVs, for example, can be blocked out, hidden, or displayed in a different manner than indicators for vehicle types that are available in that region. - Similarly, in an example for on-demand dessert, the multistate selection panel can provide different dessert types that are available for selection by a user in the region. If ice cream is unavailable for a particular region, while tarts, cookies, or cheesecakes are available for a user to request, the multistate selection panel can enable only tarts, cookies, or cheesecakes to be selected by the user in requesting the on-demand dessert service.
- When the user interacts with the multistate selection feature, additional information corresponding to the selected service option can be provided in a region-specific
user interface feature 121. In one implementation, theuser interface feature 121 can correspond to a summary panel that displays region-specific information about the selected service option. For example, for an on-demand food or dessert service, once a user makes a selection of a type of service (e.g., a type of food or a certain food truck, etc.), the summary panel can display information about the closest available food provider, the average cost for an order, menu details, service provider profile information, or other information that the user can quickly view to make an informed decision. - In another example, for an on-demand transport service, the summary panel can provide region-specific information, such as the estimated time of arrival for pickup (based on the user's current location or pickup location and the current locations of the available vehicles of the selected type), the average fare based on the region (e.g., the average estimated fare can be region-specific because some regions can be more expensive than other regions and/or some vehicle types can be more expensive than other vehicle types), and the capacity of the vehicle (how many riders can fit in the vehicle). In one variation, the summary panel can be provided concurrently with the multistate selection panel so that when the user manipulates the multistate selection feature to select different service options, the content within the summary panel can be dynamically adjusted by the on-
demand service application 110 to provide updated information corresponding to the selected option. - Once the user makes a selection by providing a
user input 111, theapplication manager 115 can cause theUI component 120 to provide user interface features 121 that are based on the selected service option. The user can then make a request for the on-demand service based on the selection. In one example, when the user makes a request, a confirmationuser interface feature 121 can be provided by the on-demand service application 110. From this user interface feature, the user can view the details of the request, such as what account or credit card to charge (and can edit or choose a different payment method), provide specific requests to the driver, enter a promotional code for a discount, calculate the price, cancel the request, or confirm the request. As an alternative, the request can be automatically confirmed without displaying a confirmationuser interface feature 121. - After the user confirms the request for the on-demand service, the on-
demand service application 110 can provide theservice request 117 to the on-demand service system 170 via theservice interface 125. In some examples, theservice request 117 can include the service location specified by the user (e.g., the location where the user would like the service to be performed or provided), the user's account information, the selected service option, any specific notes or requests to the service provider, and/or other information provided by the user. Based on the receivedservice request 117, the on-demand service system 170 can arrange the service between the user and an available service provider that is qualified and capable of providing the on-demand service. The on-demand service system 170 can provideadditional provider information 173 to the on-demand service application 110, such as the particular service provider who will be fulfilling the service, the service provider's ratings, etc., so that this information can be provided to the user on auser interface 121. - Methodology
-
FIG. 2 illustrates an example method for providing on-demand service user interface features on a computing device, according to an embodiment. A method such as described by an embodiment ofFIG. 2 can be implemented using, for example, components described with an embodiment ofFIG. 1 . Accordingly, references made to elements ofFIG. 1 are for purposes of illustrating a suitable element or component for performing a step or sub-step being described. - The on-demand service application can automatically determine the current location of the computing device (step 210). According to different implementations, the current location of the computing device (or the selected service location for the on-demand service) can be determined based on location data provided by a geo-aware resource, such as a GPS component of the computing device (sub-step 212), based on user input to search and/or select particular locations (sub-step 214), and/or based on historical data of previous pickup locations of the user (sub-step 216). Using the current location or the service location of the user, a region or area (that includes the current location or the service location) in which the on-demand services are to be performed can be determined by the on-demand service application and/or the on-demand service system. In this manner, the on-demand service system can identify available service providers (e.g., drivers, food trucks, dessert providers, mariachi bands) in the region that can perform the on-demand service.
- Based on the determined region and/or the determined current location or service location, a multistate selection feature for selecting one or more of a plurality of service options can be presented on a display of the computing device (step 220). The multistate selection feature can identify, and enable a user to select one of various service options available for a particular on-demand service. For example, the multistate selection feature can identify the specific available vehicle types (e.g., Sedan, Taxi, SUV, hybrid vehicle, electric vehicle, limousine, etc.) that the user can request for an on-demand transport service. The multistate selection feature identifies only those vehicle types that are available in that region to provide the on-demand transport service, so that vehicle types that are unavailable cannot be selected by the user. For example, in one region, such as a particular city, only Sedans and Taxis may be available, whereas in another city, Sedans, Taxis, and SUVs may be available for transport.
- The user is enabled to interact with the multistate selection feature in order to make a selection of one or more of the plurality of service options (step 230). In one example, the multistate selection feature that is displayed to the user can be a slider panel with a selectable icon that can slide along a track. In other variations, the multistate selection feature can include features to toggle on or off each of the different available service options in that region. For example, on a mobile computing device with a touch-sensitive display, the user can tap on the different service options to cause the selectable icon to move to the selected option, or hold and drag the selectable icon between the different service options along a track or path. In some instances, when the user moves the selectable icon between the different service options, an indication can be displayed to provide feedback to the user (e.g., when the SUV vehicle type is selected for a transport application, the selectable icon can display an image of an SUV rather than an image of a Sedan or other previously selected vehicle type).
- Once the user makes a selection of a service option, the application displays user interface features that are region-specific and selection-specific. In one implementation, a region-specific summary user interface is presented based on the selected service option of the user (step 240). The summary user interface can be region-specific because different regions can have different pricing structures based on usage of the service in the city, the amount of available service providers and/or users, the overall cost of living, etc. The summary user interface can provide a variety of region-specific and selection-specific content to the user so that the user can specify the transport service he or she prefers.
- Again, referring to the on-demand transport service example, the summary user interface can identify the estimated time of arrival of the driver (having the selected vehicle type) to the user's current location or service location (e.g., pickup location). The summary user interface can also display the region-specific average fare for the vehicle of the selected type (e.g., the average fare can be an estimated fare based on the locations of the available vehicles and the location of the user), and identify the maximum capacity (number of people the vehicle can drive at once) for the selected vehicle type.
- In some implementations, the summary user interface can also be displayed concurrently with the multistate selection feature so that when the user changes the selected service option to select a different service option, the summary user interface can dynamically alter the content based on the adjusted selections. In this manner, the user can easily view the differences (e.g., differences in cost, vehicle size, estimated time for performing the service, estimated time of arrival, types of foods available, etc.) between the service options to make a better judgment on what on-demand service options to request.

For example, the homepage user interfaces FIGS. 3C , 3E, 3G, respectively, and thesummary user interfaces 350 a, 350 b ofFIGS. 3D , 3F, respectively, illustrate user interfaces that can be provided by a transport service application (e.g., which is an example of an on-demand service application) running or being operated on a user's computing device (e.g., a smart phone). - When a user initiates and operates the on-demand service application on his or her computing device, for example, a home page user interface can be provided to the user. The user can interact with features on the home page user interface in order to request a service. In some implementations, the home page user interface can include a
multistate selection feature 320, as illustrated inFIG. 3A . Themultistate selection feature 320 can include atrack 321 and aslider feature 322 that can be manipulated by the user (via an input mechanism) to be moved along thetrack 321. Each resting point or “stop” on the track can correspond to a particular service feature or option that the user can select when requesting an on-demand service. The available service options can be identified with anidentifier 325. - In some cases, based on the user's region, different service options can be provided with the
multistate selection feature 320. For example, if the on-demand service application corresponds to a food delivery service, the service options provided with themultistate selection feature 320 can correspond to types of foods that are available in the user's region. Themultistate selection feature 320 can be presented on the display to include only service options that are available so that options that are unavailable in that locale are not displayed or are displayed in a different fashion to be distinguishable to the user (e.g., a different color, shading, text type, etc.). In another example, themultistate selection feature 320 can prevent the user from making a selection of a service option that is unavailable if the user attempts to select a stop that corresponds to an unavailable service option. Once the user makes a selection, a summary panel can be provided to the user to display additional detail about the user's selection. -
FIG. 3B illustrates a summary panel that can be displayed to the user by the on-demand service application. Depending on implementation, thesummary panel 360 can be provided independently of themultistate selection feature 320 or be provided concurrently with themultistate selection feature 320. Thesummary panel 360 can provide region-specific information that also corresponds to the service option selection made by the user on themultistate selection feature 320. Thesummary panel 360 can include a plurality ofsections - For example, for an on-demand entertainment application, the user can select a mariachi band via the multistate selection feature 320 (e.g., instead of a string quartet or jingle singing group, etc., that is available in the region). The
summary panel 360 can include specific information about available mariachi bands in the user's region. Thesummary panel 360 can provide the average, actual, or estimated cost for the mariachi band insection 361, the number of band members available insection 363, or the earliest the band can perform the service in section 375, or other information, etc., to quickly provide the user with sufficient details in placing the order. In this manner, functionality, such as communicating a variety of information to the user, can be aggregated and provided to the user in an efficient and user-friendly manner. -
FIGS. 3C-3H illustrate user interfaces that illustrate examples of user interfaces that are displayed by an on-demand service application. In particular, the user interfaces can be provided by an on-demand transport application. In various examples, features described inFIGS. 3C-3H can also be provided by other on-demand service applications (e.g., applications that can enable the user to request other on-demand services). - In
FIG. 3C , a home page user interface orrequest user interface 300 a can be presented on the display of the user's computing device. The homepage user interface 300 a can include aservice location identifier 310 that identifies the determined current location of the computing device or the service location that the user has specified via user selections. In some examples, theservice location identifier 310 can first automatically display the determined current location of the computing device without user selection. Theservice location identifier 310 can also be selectable by the user to change the current location (e.g., if the current location is incorrect) or the service location (e.g., the user will be somewhere else in the next few minutes and would prefer to get the service at a different location than the current location). Theservice location identifier 310 can display an address, a name of a location (e.g., store, park, restaurant, venue), street intersections, or user programmed identifier (e.g., “work,” “parent's house,” or “home” of the user). - The home
page user interface 300 a can also include amultistate selection feature 320. Themultistate selection feature 320 can include aslider feature 322 that can be manipulated by the user to be moved along atrack 321. Themultistate selection feature 320 can identify a plurality of service types that are available for providing, for instance, a transport service for the user based on the user's current location (or pickup location). Depending on the user's location, available service providers can be determined for a particular region that includes the user's current location or pickup location. For example, the region can be a city, such as San Francisco, Calif., and themultistate selection feature 320 can identify vehicle types that are available for providing the transport service within the general vicinity or area of San Francisco, Calif. - In the example provided, the
multistate selection feature 320 is region-specific so that only the vehicles that are specifically available in San Francisco, Calif. can be selected by the user. The available vehicle types inFIG. 3C include Taxis, Sedans, and SUVs or Any type of vehicle available to the user. These vehicle types can each be indicated by anidentifier 325 that is shown above a corresponding selection point along thetrack 321. The vehicle types that are not available in the region can be identified differently so that the user can determine which vehicle types cannot be selected for the transport service. InFIG. 3C , for example, “UBERx” vehicles, which are identified to be a different type of vehicle as compared to Taxis, Sedans, or SUVs (such as a limousine or hybrid vehicle), are not available in the region of San Francisco, Calif. Some examples to differentiate available types of vehicles as compared to unavailable types of vehicles include using providing anidentifier 327 with different characteristics (e.g., varying font colors, font shading, font sizes), or by not including an identifier in its entirety or blocking out theidentifier 327 from appearing on themultistate selection feature 320. - In some variations, when the user manipulates the
slider feature 322 by moving it between the different selection points along thetrack 321, theidentifier 325 of the selected vehicle type can also be changed to identify the selection. For example, the identifier “Sedan” is elevated as compared to the other identifiers to indicate the selection of “Sedan” type vehicles. In other examples, the selected identifier can be altered in size, color, font, etc., to easily indicate to the user of the selection. As an addition, the graphic 323 provided within theslider feature 322 can dynamically change in order to correspond to the selection (e.g., a graphic of a vehicle that corresponds to a selected vehicle type, a graphic of food type, a graphic of an entertainment selection, etc.). - In one implementation, the
slider feature 322 can initially be positioned at a default vehicle type or a default vehicle type that is selected and programmed by the user. In other variations, theslider feature 322 can be initially positioned at a vehicle type that has most frequently been used by the user to request the transport service, or can initially be positioned at a vehicle type that was previously used by the user to request a transport service. - The home
page user interface 300 a can also include a map that illustrates at least a portion of the region in which the user's current location or pickup location is located in. The map can include agraphic pin 313 that indicates the user's current location or pickup location. In some implementations, the homepage user interface 300 a can also include a feature (proximate to or as part of the graphic pin 313) that indicates an estimated time ofarrival 330 of an available service provider having a vehicle of the selected type, and arequest selection feature 340 to enable the user to request the transport service using the selected vehicle type. The estimated time ofarrival 330 can dynamically be altered in response to the user changing the selection by moving theslider feature 322 along thepath 321. - In some examples, the on-demand service application that operates on the user's computing device can communicate with the on-demand service system to receive real-time information about service providers in the determined region of the user. The on-demand service system can continually (periodically) receive data from the computing devices of the service providers (e.g., such as GPS data, driver and vehicle information) in order to determine the current location of the service providers, the speed and direction in which the service provider is moving, whether a service provider is currently providing a transport service (e.g., is currently occupied), etc., and other service provider information. The on-demand service application can receive information about one or more service providers in the vicinity of the user's current location or pickup location in order to provide real-time information to the user.
- For example, based on the selected vehicle type and determined region, one or more graphic vehicle indicators 315 (if any) can be dynamically provided on the map to indicate to the user the current/real-time locations and movements of the service providers having the selected vehicle type. The
graphic vehicle indicators 315 can indicate to the user that the driver is currently available to service the user and is within the region or portion of the region in which the user's current location or pickup location is located in. In the example illustrated inFIG. 3C , the user has selected Sedan vehicles as the vehicle type in which he or she would like to potentially request a transport service. The map can displaygraphic vehicle indicators 315 that visually represent Sedan vehicles that are near the current location or pickup location of the user. If the user changes the vehicle selection using themultistate selection feature 320 to select SUVs, thegraphic vehicle indicators 315 of the Sedans can be removed from the map and one or more graphic vehicle indicators 315 (if any) of SUVs can be provided on the map. - In one implementation, one or more
graphic vehicle indicators 315 can move on the map corresponding to the real-time and real-life movements of the service providers' vehicles relative to the user's current location or pickup location. The movements of thegraphic vehicle indicators 315 can be determined using provider data (e.g., viaprovider information 177 transmitted by the transport service system inFIG. 1 ) that includes GPS data of the drivers' vehicles. - In one example, the transport service system can also use one or more databases of streets and roads for maps (e.g., including external databases maintained by third parties or other map sources) to determine how the
graphic vehicle indicators 315 can be oriented and moved on a map that is presented to the user (e.g., as part of the homepage user interface 300 a). The one or more databases can include geocoding information that make up individual streets and roads. By taking the GPS points or coordinates of available vehicles (from the service providers' devices) and drawing lines between the points, the GPS points and lines can be aligned with the geocoding information from the databases. In this manner, real-time vehicle movements and locations can be correlated to maps of streets and roads so that thegraphic vehicle indicators 315 can be displayed to the user. In addition, by map-fitting the GPS points with the known geolocations of streets, the transport service system can correct for inconsistencies and smooth out lines between GPS points so that the correspondinggraphic vehicle indicators 315 can be accurately displayed on a map to the user on the user's computing device (e.g., onuser interface 300 a). - The
graphic vehicle indicators 315 can then be oriented and aligned in the appropriate directions on the appropriate streets so that the user can easily determine the locations and directions of movement of nearby service provider vehicles, and determine what side of the street the service provider vehicles are on. - In some implementations, when the user makes a selection of a vehicle type using the
multistate selection feature 320, a summary user interface 350 a can be presented to the user. As illustrated inFIG. 3D , the summary user interface 350 a can overlay the previously displayed user interface feature, such as the homepage user interface 300 a, so that a portion of the previously displayed user interface feature can be continued to be displayed to the user. For example, the summary user interface 350 a can include asummary panel 360 that is displayed over the previously displayed user interface feature, such as the homepage user interface 300 a. In some examples, thesummary panel 360 can be presented concurrently with themultistate selection feature 320. In other variations, asemi-transparent shading 370 can overlay a portion of the previously displayed user interface feature so that the user can continue to view information provided on portions of the previously displayed user interface. - The
summary panel 360 can include a variety of information related to a transport service that is specific to the locality (e.g., the region) of the user and the selected vehicle type. Thesummary panel 360 can include an estimated time of arrival (ETA)section 361, anaverage fare section 363, and amaximum capacity section 365, that each include dynamically provided content that is location-specific (e.g., region-specific) and vehicle-specific. Each of the sections can also include a graphic to represent the corresponding content (e.g., a watch or clock, a receipt or ticket, person). Because the available service providers continue to drive around the region, pick up other customers, make traffic stops, etc., the information provided within thesections - In addition, the location-specific information is based on the selected vehicle type, when the user changes the selection of a vehicle type, the information provided within the
sections summary panel 360 is presented concurrently with themultistate selection feature 320 on the summary user interface 350 a, the user can also move theslider feature 322 to select different vehicle types and cause the content within thesections - The user can also select a
completion feature 367 when he or she has finished viewing the information corresponding to the selected vehicle type. Selecting thecompletion feature 367 can close the summary user interface 350 a to remove thesummary panel 360. In other examples, selecting other portions of the summary user interface 350 a (e.g., selecting on a region of the semi-transparent shading 370) can cause the summary user interface 350 a to be closed (e.g., no longer presented to the user). When the user is done selecting the vehicle type, other user interface features can be provided to enable the user to request the transport service. - The transport application can also provide transport specific information to the user using languages, symbols, and/or prices based on the user's location. For example, the different vehicle types displayed in the
multistate selection feature 320 can be identified in French, German, Spanish, etc., based on the country the user operates the transportation application in (e.g., instead of “Sedan” or “Any”). A user can choose to have information provided by the transport application in a particular language (e.g., select a language for the application), such as when first installing the transport application or by selecting a language when first registering the user's device, etc. The user is also free to change languages upon his or her preference. - In another example, the content within the
sections average fare section 363 would display the average cost for the selected vehicle type in pounds (GBP) instead of dollars (USD). This enables the transport application to provide text information in a language selected by the user, while at the same time, tailor the content based on the user's location. For example, the user can prefer to operate the transport application in French, while living in London, England. The text information can be provided by the transport application in French, yet continue to provide content based on standards used in England (e.g., provide average fare information in pounds). -
FIG. 3E illustrates another example of a home page user interface orrequest user interface 300 b. A user can interact with the homepage user interface 300 b, such as therequest selection feature 340, in order to request a service (e.g., a transport service). The homepage user interface 300 b can have a similar layout as the layout of the homepage user interface 300 a illustrated inFIG. 3C , but have some differences. For example, in the homepage user interface 300 b, only four types of available service options are displayed on amultistate selection feature 320. -
FIG. 3F illustrates another example of asummary user interface 350 b. Thesummary user interface 350 b can have a similar layout at the layout of the summary user interface 350 a illustrated inFIG. 3D . In one example, thesummary panel 360 can display information related to a transport service that is specific to the locality (e.g., the region) of the user and the selected vehicle type (e.g., “Black Car”). In addition to an estimated time of arrival (ETA)section 361, anaverage fare section 363, and amaximum capacity section 365, thesummary panel 360 can also include aselectable fare feature 369 that can display additional or detailed information about the fare. - As an addition or alternative, the home
page user interface 380 ofFIG. 3G can also be provided by the transport application. The homepage user interface 380 can correspond to a transition interface that is displayed while content in therequest selection feature 340 is being updated or modified. For example, while the transport application is initially loading or is processing information as a result of user input (e.g., manipulation of slider feature 322), different graphics/text can be provided within therequest selection feature 340 and/or the estimated time ofarrival 330. - The home page user interface 380 (and other user interfaces for other on-demand services as described in
FIGS. 1-3F ) can also include a price adjustment (or surge pricing)selectable feature 381. In some implementations, the transport service system can dynamically adjust the price for transport service in a given region based on real-time conditions. Based on real-time conditions, such as the high (or low) demand of transport service requests or the high (or low) supply of available transport service providers, the transport service system can increase or decrease the price for the transport service in that region. When the transport service system determines that prices are to be altered, theprice adjustment feature 381 can be provided to a user interface feature, such as the homepage user interfaces - When user selects the
price adjustment feature 381, informational content about the adjusted pricing can be presented to the user. For example, the user can be notified of the price adjustment, how much the price is being adjusted, why the price is being adjusted, etc., to provide the user with full disclosure before the user agrees to request the service at that price. In some variations, aprice adjustment icon 383 can be provided with one or more vehicle types in a user's region to inform the user which particular vehicles are subject to the price adjustment. Dynamic price adjustment is described in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/612,471, filed Mar. 19, 2012 (the aforementioned application being incorporated by reference in its entirety). - The home
page user interface 380 can also include apromotional selection feature 391. Thepromotional selection feature 391 can be selected by a user to view dynamically provided promotional content that the user can view and request when requesting the transport service. Promotional content is further described withFIGS. 8A-8D below. -
FIG. 3H illustrates another example of a user interface feature that can be displayed by an on-demand service application. In some examples, theuser interface 395 can be displayed by the on-demand service application in response to a user interacting with a previously displayed user interface (e.g., such as theuser interfaces FIG. 5A , etc.) Theuser interface 395 displays a full screen (or close to full screen) view of an expandedmap 396 that provides information about the user's location (marked by a graphic pin, such as thegraphic pin 313 ofFIG. 3C ) as well as one or more graphic vehicle indicators that are dynamically provided on themap 396 to indicate the current/real-time locations and movements of the available service providers. - The
user interface 395 can be presented with an expandedmap 396 that has been expanded to fit the size of a display screen of the computing device in response to a user selection. The user selection can correspond to, for example, the user interacting with (e.g., tapping, tapping and holding, or double tapping, etc.) a portion of a map of a previously displayed user interface. For example, if theuser interface 380 ofFIG. 3G is presented to the user and the user provides an input to cause the map to be expanded, the map can expand from a first size (e.g., from the window size inFIG. 3G ) to a second size (e.g., to the size inFIG. 3H ). In this manner, the user can see a full view of the general region, such as where the user is, the nearby service providers, etc., before committing to request the service. In some variations, a graphical transition can be provided to show the transition between the map in a previously displayed user interface to the expandedmap 396 in theuser interface 395. - The
user interface 395 can also include areduce feature 397 that can be selectable in order to return the map to a previous size and re-display the previously displayed user interface feature. In some cases, the graphic transition can show the transition of the expandedmap 396 reducing in size from the larger size to a smaller size, such as the map inFIG. 3G . The user can then again view the different options, such as themultistate selection feature 320 ofFIG. 3G . In another example, theuser interface 395 can be displayed in response to the user interacting with the map of the confirmation user interface 500 ofFIG. 5A . Selecting thereduce feature 397 would then cause the confirmation user interface 500 to be re-displayed so that the user can view the information before confirming the request. -
FIGS. 4A-4C illustrate examples of user interfaces that are displayed to a user to enable the user to select a service location for an on-demand service, under another embodiment. In some variations, the locationsuggestion user interface 400, and/or the locationsearch user interfaces - The location
suggestion user interface 400 enables a user to select particular locations, such as stores, restaurants, parks, venues, etc., that can be precisely and easily identified by a service provider when the user requests to have the on-demand service be performed or fulfilled. For example, the user can select the location at which the user would like his or her food to be delivered at (e.g., the user's office or home, or a friend's apartment, etc.) or the location where the mariachi band should play at (e.g., at a bar or restaurant). In another example, referring back toFIG. 3E , when accessing a transport service application, the user can select thepickup location identifier 310 in order to viewsuggestions 430 of various locations and venues that are located in the vicinity of the user's current location. If the user is at Nanigans SF, for example, and would like to be picked up there, the user can select theentry 440 for Nanigans SF as the pickup location for the transport service. Once the user makes the selection, thepickup location identifier 310 ofFIG. 3E can identify the pickup location to be Nanigans SF. - In some implementations, other suggested
entries 440 can be provided based on historical/previous pickup locations of the user and/or based on user-specific data. Based on the current location of the computing device, the on-demand service application can access user information that includes previously requested services and/or personal user information (e.g., the user's home address, the user's place of business, the user's preferences) to provide one or more user-basedlocation entries - In this manner, the on-demand service application can predict what particular service locations the user would like to select. The one or more suggested
entries 440 can be displayed based on a combination of the user's current location (e.g., the nearness of service locations) and the recency of previous service locations and/or the total frequency of particular service locations. In some examples, the suggested locations can also be ranked based on the scores of the suggested locations determined using a recency, frequency, or nearness algorithm. The user can also select thesearch field 410 in order to search for other locations or venues that are not listed in thesuggestions cancellation feature 415 can be selected by the user to close the locationsuggestion user interface 400 and request service at the location already determined and identified on a location identifier (such as thepickup location identifier 310 ofFIGS. 3C , 3E). - The location
search user interface 450 ofFIG. 4B enables the user to manually provide input (e.g., such as at least portions of an address, a name of a store, a street name, a city, etc.) in thesearch field 460 to search for particular locations, stores, buildings, or venues to select as a service location. In one implementation, the on-demand service application can communicate, via APIs, with one or more other applications or programs to display akeyboard 490 as part of the locationsearch user interface 450. As the user inputs characters in thesearch field 460,entries 480 can be provided that match (at least in portion) the characters provided in thesearch field 460. The user can also select the “search”feature 470 to cause the on-demand service application to perform a search (e.g., of one or more internal and external location or map databases of the on-demand service system) using the search term or characters provided in thesearch field 460 as the search query. The search results 496 can be provided on the locationsearch user interface 495 ofFIG. 4C for user selection. In some variations, the locationsearch user interface 495 can also display afeature 497 that identifies one or more sources that were queried to determine the search results 496. -
FIG. 5 illustrates an example method for determining a location related to an on-demand service request, under an embodiment. A method such as described by an embodiment ofFIG. 5 can be implemented using, for example, components described with an embodiment ofFIG. 1 . Accordingly, references made to elements ofFIG. 1 are for purposes of illustrating a suitable element or component for performing a step or sub-step being described. Depending on implementation, one or more of the steps described inFIG. 5 can be performed by the on-demand service application 110 and/or the one-demand service system 170. - The user can provide a service request input via a mobile computing device (step 510). In some embodiments, the user can provide service request input without manually specifying a location. For example, the user may specify a pickup or drop-off region to coincide with the location where the user requested service on their geo-aware device. In the example of requesting a transport service, a user can operate an on-demand service application and request the transport service using one or more user interface features (such as described with
FIGS. 1-4C ). In response to receiving the selection, the service application can utilize, for example, the mapping/GPS functionality of the computing device to determine a region of the device when the request is made. - Accordingly, in one example, the transport request can include a pickup region (sub-step 512) and/or a drop-off region (sub-step 514). Reference to “region” is intended to mean an area that encompasses multiple locations, where each location identifies or correlates to an address or a landmark. As the pickup region or drop-off region is not accurate to a specific location, the on-demand service application and/or the on-demand service system can attempt to identify a more precise location related to the service request.
- The user's mobile computing device can determine its general position or region using a GPS component. However, in some cases, the GPS measurements of the position of the device can identify a region (e.g., a half-block or block, a shopping center, a business district, or a large building, etc.) encompassing many locations (e.g., multiple businesses or addresses), rather than a specific location (e.g., as identified by specific address). In other examples, the user may specify a region as input by, for example, selecting an area of a map as a pickup region or a drop-off region. Again, such a specified region can point to a neighborhood having multiple homes at the end of a street, can point to a shopping center with numerous entrances and stores, or can point to a strip mall having many stores within a small geographic area, etc.
- The on-demand service application and/or the on-demand service system can use location information about the pickup region and/or the drop-off region to determine one or more locations of interest within the region (step 520). In one implementation, the location information can be cross-referenced with the other sources or databases, such as a business directory, that maintain location information with business, stores, restaurants, venues, landmarks, etc. (sub-step 522). By cross-referencing the location information with a business directory, for example, the on-demand service application and/or the on-demand service system can identify one or more locations of interests within the region specified with the service request (e.g., a region specified by the user and/or a region of the device when the request was made).
- The pickup region and/or the drop-off region can also be compared with historical locations related to the user (step 530). In many situations, a user of a service application can request a service at a location in which the user previously requested the service. Based on the user's historical use data, the on-demand service application and/or the on-demand service system can compare the region specified with the service request in order to determine if the user is likely requesting service at a location related to the user. In some examples, the locations related to the user can include the user's most recent location(s) (e.g., previous service locations requested within a certain past time frame) (sub-step 532), the user's most common locations (sub-step 534), and the user's previously visited location that is closest to the user's current location and/or the user's specified region (sub-step 536).
- Based on the determined locations of interest and based on the comparison, the on-demand service application and/or the on-demand service system can determine one or more likely locations for the user (step 540). In some variations, the on-demand service application can provide a prompt as part of a user interface feature asking the user whether the likely location is a location the user would like to be picked up at or dropped off at (e.g., “Do you want to be picked up at Joe's Coffee Shop?”). If the user confirms the location, the service request can be processed and the service can be arranged for the user (step 550). In one example, if the user provides input to specify that the recommended likely location is incorrect, the on-demand service application can determine the next likely location and provide a second prompt to the user (e.g., and so forth). In this manner, the service application and/or the on-demand service system can attempt to provide a more precise location for the user based on the location information provided with the user's service request.
- As an addition or an alternative, the on-demand service application can determine one or more likely locations for a user without user input as to user's location or region. For example, for a transport service request, the on-demand service application can automatically determine the user's pickup region using geo-aware resources (e.g., a GPS component) of the user's computing device and assume that the determined region includes a location that the user wishes pickup at. Accordingly, when the user requests transport (e.g., without specifying a particular location), the on-demand service application can prompt the user with a determined likely location that is based on the user's location at the time of the request.
-
FIGS. 6A-6B illustrate examples of confirmation user interfaces that are displayed to a user when an on-demand service has been requested, according to an embodiment. For example, theconfirmation user interface 600 ofFIG. 6A can illustrate a user interface that is provided by a transport service application in response to the user requesting a transport service. After the user selects a vehicle type, the user can request the transport service by selecting therequest selection feature 340 ofFIGS. 3C , 3E. Similarly, a confirmation user interface can be provided in response to the user requesting other on-demand services using other respective on-demand service applications. - A
confirmation user interface 600 can provide a variety of information that the user can confirm before the on-demand service system arranges the on-demand service for the user. Referring back to the transport service example, theconfirmation user interface 600 can include apickup location marker 620 and apickup location panel 610 that identifies the selected vehicle type (e.g., Sedan) as a graphic and/or text, and the pickup location (e.g., automatically determined from the current user location or determined from user selections). Theconfirmation user interface 600 can also include additional features, such as markers 630 (a marker identifying the destination, if selected by a user via a user interface, or a marker identifying the current location of the driver that is to provide the transport service). As another example, if the user is requesting an ice cream truck, theconfirmation user interface 600 can include a service destination marker, a current ice cream truck location marker, and other additional information. - The
confirmation user interface 600 can also provide the user's financial account information 640 (e.g., a bank routing and/or account number, a credit card number, etc.) that is used to pay for the requested on-demand service. The user can have the option to use a different account to pay for the service if he or she prefers. In some variations, theconfirmation user interface 600 can also provideselectable features - Once the user views the information provided, the user can select the
confirmation feature 680 to confirm the requested on-demand service. The on-demand service system can then receive appropriate information from the on-demand service application, charge the account, communicate with available service providers in the vicinity of the user's service location, arrange the on-demand service between the user and a driver, and/or provide a transaction confirmation or receipt to the user. If the information provided on theconfirmation user interface 600 is incorrect, or the user wishes to cancel the request for whatever reason, the user can simply select the “cancel” feature to change the service options and/or the service location. -
FIG. 6B illustrates another example of aconfirmation user interface 690. Theconfirmation user interface 690 can present similar information to that of theconfirmation user interface 600 ofFIG. 6A , but arranged in a different manner. For example, instead of displaying a pickup location panel 610 (e.g., as displayed inFIG. 6A ), theconfirmation user interface 690 can simply provide a pin representing the user's location and/or the pick up or drop off location on the map itself. - The
confirmation user interface 690 can also enable a user to correct or after a pick up location or drop off location without having to backtrack or return to previously displayed user interfaces (e.g., user interfaces for requesting a service or for searching for a location). The user can, for example, interact with the service location identifier and/or the displayed map in order to change a service location. A user can also interact directly with the displayed map of theconfirmation user interface 690 in order to dynamically adjust the displayed portion of the map (e.g., pan, zoom in, zoom out). The user can zoom in/out and/or pan the map in one or more directions, for example, to see the closest available service provider(s) or the overall geography (streets, freeways, locations of interest, etc.) of the region. In this manner, theconfirmation user interface 690 can dynamically display different portions of the map based on user preference. - In some implementations, the
confirmation user interface 690 can include aconfirmation feature 695 that dynamically alters its text (e.g., its content within the selectable feature) based on the user selections for the service. For example, instead of the text “confirm” within theconfirmation feature 680, theconfirmation feature 695 can specify “request black car” or “request sedan,” etc., based on the user selected request. Despite the different variations or layouts, theconfirmation user interfaces -
FIGS. 7A-7B illustrate examples of fare information panels that provide additional information about a fare for an on-demand service, under an embodiment. InFIG. 7A , afare information panel 700 can be generated and displayed as part of a user interface to provide more detailed fare information to a user (e.g., for a transport service). Thefare information panel 700 can be a pop up, for example, in response to a user input for viewing additional fare information. Thefare information panel 700 can include information about thebase fare 710, the cost or fare perminute 720 in situations when the average speed is between 0 miles per hour (e.g., the vehicle is stopped) and 11 mph, and the cost or fare permile 730 in situations when the average speed is higher than 11 mph. Such information can be provided with a visual chart or graph to enable the user to easily understand the fare amounts for the service. - The detailed information provided in the
fare information panel 700 can identify an estimated or anticipated fare for the service, or can identify the actual fare that a service provider abides by. The detailed information can be adjusted depending the user's location (e.g., the user's current location, the pickup location and/or destination location, etc.) and the user's selected service option. For example, for a transport service or a delivery service, thedetermined fares -
FIG. 7B illustrates an example of thefare information panel 700 as provided with a user interface of an on-demand service application. Although thefare information panel 700 is displayed with a summary panel and a multistate selection feature in the example ofFIG. 7B , thefare information panel 700 can be provided on other user interfaces, such as with the confirmation user interfaces ofFIGS. 6A-6B . Theuser interface feature 750 illustrates thefare information panel 700 being displayed as a result of the user selecting the selectable fare feature 760 (e.g., “rates”). In other examples, the user can select other features, such as theaverage fare section 770 of the summary panel or the “calculate fare” or “fare estimate” features of the confirmation user interfaces, in order to cause thefare information panel 700 to be provided (as a pop up, for example) on theuser interface 750. In some examples, thefare information panel 700 can be located and displayed proximate to or near the feature selected by the user. By providing afare information panel 700, the user can see a comprehensive view of the costs for a service before making the decision to request the service using the on-demand service application. -
FIGS. 8A-8D illustrate an example series of user interfaces that are displayed to a user to provide additional content, under an embodiment. In some examples,FIGS. 8A-8D can illustrate a graphical transition between user interface features that occur in a short period of time (e.g., milliseconds, a second, etc.). The user interfaces ofFIGS. 8A-8D correspond to interfaces that are provided by an on-demand transport application, but features described inFIGS. 8A-8D can also be provided by other on-demand service applications (e.g., applications that can enable the user to request other on-demand services). - In
FIG. 8A , auser interface feature 800 for requesting an on-demand service is presented on a display of the user's computing device. Such auser interface feature 800 can include any one of the user interface features described inFIGS. 1-7B . In one example, theuser interface feature 800 can include apromotional selection feature 810. The on-demand service system can dynamically provide promotions or specials, for example, to the user that the user can request or order when requesting the on-demand service. When the user selects thepromotional selection feature 810, promotional content can be presented to the user. The user can then order or request the promotional service, for example, as part of the on-demand service request (e.g., the user gets a discount on the current price or future request, a free dessert, a coupon, etc.). -
FIGS. 8B-8D illustrate theuser interface feature 800 after the user has selected thepromotional selection feature 810. The user interface features 800 inFIGS. 8B-8D depict a graphical transition to transition between the initially displayeduser interface feature 820 and a differentuser interface feature 830. In one example, the graphic transition can represent a page flip or a page fold. In other examples, the graphical transition can include wrinkling, (like the wrinkling of an accordion), sliding away of the initially displayeduser interface feature 820 and/or sliding in of the newuser interface feature 830, pulling up or pulling down of a user interface feature (like the pulling of a curtain or window blinds, or sliding of a pocket door), or other graphical transitions or combinations of graphical transitions. - Once the subsequent
user interface feature 830, such as a promotional user interface, is provided, the user can view the information displayed and navigate back to the previous (or different) user interface (e.g., back to a home page user interface or confirmation user interface, etc.). - As an addition or alternative, the graphical transitions described with respect to
FIGS. 8A-8D can be used to transition between any of the user interface features described inFIGS. 1-7B . For example, referring back toFIG. 3C or 3E, if the user selects the “profile” feature (identified by the image of a person) or “information” feature (identified by an “i” inside a circle), a profile menu or an information menu, respectively, can be pulled down to overlay a portion of the displayed user interface feature (e.g., the homepage user interfaces multistate selection feature 320. In another example, graphical transitions, such as a pulling of or pushing of a user interface or a user interface feature, can be displayed when the user selects aprice adjustment feature 381 ofFIG. 3G . - Still further, a graphical transition can include a visual expansion (from a first size to a second larger size, for example) of a feature on a user interface and/or a visual reduction of a feature. Referring to
FIGS. 3C and 3H , for example, an input by a user to expand the map that is displayed with theuser interface 300 a ofFIG. 3C can cause a visual expansion of the map from the manner displayed in theuser interface 300 a to a full size image of the map as displayed in theuser interface 395 ofFIG. 3H . Similarly, a user input selecting thereduce feature 397 of theuser interface 395 can cause a visual reduction from the full size image of themap 396 to the previous size of the previous user interface feature. In some variations, the pull down menus can be semi-transparent to continue to display the overlaid portions of the user interface feature in the background. - Hardware Diagrams
