Definitions

  • the invention belongs to systems that enable ordering taxi services and other occasional transportation services as well as other similar location based goods and services using a mobile phone or other portable communication device.
  • Computer networks including the Internet, are being increasingly used for selling and intermediating services. Additionally, more and more software applications are available via mobile and smart phones. Various services include selling tickets to miscellaneous events, selling bus and plane tickets, selling prepaid calling time, making doctor's and other appointments, making reservations at restaurants, etc.
  • Taxi transport plays an essential role in municipal transport systems. In big cities, using a taxi may be cheaper and more comfortable than driving a private car. Using taxis (or rental cars with a driver) is also often needed when travelling. The simplest way to get a taxi is to hail one on the street or to go to a taxi stand, e.g., at airports or near hotels. Ordering a taxi by phone is also common practice, for example by calling the customer service of a taxi company. Some cities have a central dispatch centre for ordering taxi services, enabling services to be ordered from different taxi service providers. Ordering a taxi in advance for a specific time is also possible, e.g. through Web page.
  • Patent application US20080183828 discloses a real-time message brokering system where based on a user's free text query the system matches appropriate queries from the other users' free text queries. The system enables, e.g., finding a driving companion to share a taxi from the airport to a common destination. This system, however, is not adapted for ordering taxi services.
  • a taxi-ordering and tracking system where the central computer system has been adapted to save and track locations of taxis, receive customers' phone calls and create a voice communication connection directly between the customer and taxi driver.
  • the system is not adapted for receiving multiple offers from competing service providers, and for ordering taxi service by other means than through voice communication. This is a particularly limiting when ordering a taxi in a region where the customer does not speak the local language, and the foreign language skills of taxi drivers are insufficient, as well as when the taxi driver could not answer the call or cannot use the phone (e.g., while driving). Also the cost of voice communication may be prohibitively high when travelling abroad (e.g., mobile phone roaming).
  • Patent application US2009030885 discloses a system that provides a user with an ability to manage an on-demand or scheduled service, such as taxi services, the system comprises: a mobile communicator configured to receive instructions from the user and to send user data; and a facilitator configured to receive the user data and retrieve options data based on the user data, filter the options data based on an identification data, provide associated costs and relevant information for the filtered options data, and send the filtered options data and the associated costs to the mobile communicator.
  • the system is not adapted for asking and forwarding to the user multiple offers from several competing service providers in real time. What is needed, therefore, is a simple and straightforward system where the user can request and receive offers simultaneously and in real time from several service providers servicing the area. What is also needed is a system where the user can ask and receive their offers based on their specific preferences, particularly, in their language of choice, and in their currency of choice.
  • the aim of the invention is achieved by a method for ordering taxi services using a mobile communication device running a software application, comprises the steps of: determining a location of interest when the software application is started, and wherein the location of interest is either a last known location, a location entered or chosen by the user, or a user location, determined by one or several positioning methods; determining taxi services available in the location of interest; presenting the user with options to choose available taxi services; receiving a user request for taxi services, said user request specifying at least a pickup location, wherein the pickup location is either the location of interest or the last known location, or is entered or chosen by the user, or is the user location as determined by one or several positioning methods; determining the service area from the user request; determining taxi service providers servicing the service area; converting and translating the user request according to preferences of the service providers making said converted and translated user request available to at least one taxi service provider servicing the area; receiving at least one offer from said at least one service provider servicing the area; converting and translating said at least one offer according to the user preferences and making

  • the user mobile communication device and the taxi service provider system periodically poll the central server for new information and download (pull) the information when new information becomes available.
  • the request, the offers or the accepts are sent (pushed) to the taxi service provider system and to the user mobile communication device.
  • the invention does not require that the user has an account with any of the taxi service providers nor with the central system.
  • the location of interest and the pickup location can be determined according to the user preferences stored in the user mobile communication device or in the central server; as last known location; as an address or point of interest (POI) entered by the user; or as coordinates entered by the user, or using global positioning systems, including GPS or A-GPS positioning; using mobile positioning function of the user mobile communication device; or based on data communication network address of the user mobile communication device or the location of the data communication network or networks itself, e.g., using Wi-Fi positioning method.

  • the method may include additional steps, e.g., the step of receiving from the service provider and forwarding to the user a confirmation to the accept.
  • additional processing may be desired, e.g., converting the time from one time zone to another, changing the format of the message from the one suitable for the user mobile communication device to the format suitable for the service provider system and vice versa, adding additional information to the message, etc.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à commander des services de taxi permettant de commander des services de taxi au moyen d'un dispositif de communication mobile. Les fournisseurs de services desservant une zone sont déterminés par le serveur central sur la base d'une demande d'utilisateur qui contient le lieu de rendez-vous. Le serveur centralisé convertit et traduit la demande de l'utilisateur en fonction de préférences des fournisseurs de services et la rend disponible à au moins un fournisseur de services. Les fournisseurs de services peuvent proposer des offres spécifiques de services. Le serveur centralisé convertit et traduit également les offres en fonction des préférences des utilisateurs et rend les offres disponibles à l'utilisateur. Les offres peuvent contenir l'heure de début du trajet, le prix de l'offre, le classement des fournisseurs de services ou d'autres paramètres spécifiés par l'utilisateur ou par le système avec en option la possibilité d'accepter l'offre la mieux adaptée à l'utilisateur. Le procédé peut être utilisé pour commander d'autres types de services de transport occasionnels.
