As shown in FIG. 1B, the carpool initiator may input the time point of reaching the destination position through the input box 12 corresponding to the "time of arrival".

In this embodiment, by determining the geographic location of the selected shop page as the destination location to be reached, when the carpool initiator needs to initiate a meal at the location of the shop page of his choice, the purpose of the meal gathering can be determined based on the shop page. Position; when the first button is triggered, the store page jumps to the carpool page, avoiding the carpool initiator to manually enter the destination address on the carpool page; jumps to the carpool page through the store page, which can prevent the carpool initiator from completing a meal Switching between APPs (for example, a life service APP and a travel app) improves the user experience.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a car-pooling method according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application; based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A above, this embodiment uses an example of how to determine a time point to reach a destination location as an example for illustrative description. As shown in FIG. 3, it includes the following steps 301 to 303.

Step 301: Determine the selected store page.

For the description of step 301, reference may be made to the description of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2A, and details are not described herein again.

Step 302: If it is detected that the second button on the store page is triggered, send a carpool link corresponding to the store page to the social application.

In one embodiment, the carpool initiator may send a carpool link to the social application through a sharing method to the store page selected by the carpool initiator. As shown in FIG. 2B, a virtual second button 22 can be set on the store page, and the carpool initiator can trigger the second button 22 to share the carpool link on the store page to the social application.

Step 303: Receive the time point returned by the social application based on the carpool link, and determine the time point returned by the social application as the time point of reaching the destination location.

Referring to FIG. 1C, in the social application, after the carpool initiator ABC0 shares the carpool link to the group, the remaining 9 users in the group can conduct voice or text discussions in the group to confirm that they need to reach the destination location. Point in time. In one embodiment, the social application may return the chat content to the given APP, and the travel APP determines the time point of reaching the destination by identifying the chat content. In another embodiment, the time point in the chat content may be identified by the social application, and the social application sends the time point to the travel app, and the travel app determines the time point returned by the social application as the time point to reach the destination .

In this embodiment, by sending a carpool link corresponding to the selected store page to the social application, the social application can recognize the time when the carpool initiator belongs to the group content to reach the destination position, so that the carpool can be initiated. The members of the group where the person is located together determine a suitable time point to improve the flexibility of determining the time point of reaching the destination location.

Based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A to FIG. 3, the above carpooling method may further include: receiving a carpool route recommended by the server for at least two users based on the carpool request, and separately from the carpool route recommended for at least two users. Corresponding vehicle information; displays recommended carpool routes and vehicle information corresponding to the recommended carpool routes.

By displaying the carpool route and the vehicle information corresponding to the carpool route, the carpool initiator can enable the carpool journey of at least two users to ensure the driving safety of at least two users.

FIG. 4A is a schematic flowchart of a carpool route recommendation method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 4B is a schematic diagram of a recommended route in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4A; this embodiment may be applied to an electronic device, and the electronic device The device may be a server, as shown in FIG. 4A, and includes the following steps 401 to 402.

In step 401, a carpool request is received, and the carpool request includes a destination location to be reached and a time point to reach the destination location, and respective departure locations of at least two users who need to reach the destination location.

In an embodiment, for a manner of generating a carpool request, reference may be made to the description of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A above, and details are not described herein again.

Step 402: Recommend a carpooling route for at least two users based on the destination location, the time point when the destination location is reached, and the respective departure locations of the at least two users.

As shown in FIG. 4B, the destination location 40 provided by the carpool initiator, the departure location 41 of the user ABC1, the departure location 42 of the user ABC2, the departure location 43 of the user ABC3, and the departure time of the user ABC1 are 17:00, The departure time point of user ABC2 is 17:20, and the departure time point of user ABC3 is 17:30. It can be seen that the departure time points of user ABC1, user ABC2, and user ABC3 are relatively small. The server is based on the time point of reaching the destination location 40. , Destination location 40, departure location 41, departure location 42, departure location 43, and the respective departure times of users ABC1, ABC2, and ABC3, determine that user ABC1, user ABC2, and user ABC3 share a shared ride route. Similarly, the server determines a route that can be shared together based on the starting positions of other users in the group to which the ride sharing initiator belongs.

In this embodiment, a carpool route is recommended for at least two users based on the destination location to be reached and the time point to reach the destination location, and the respective departure locations of at least two users. When the points reach the same destination, by recommending a common carpool route for the multiple users, the travel costs of each user are greatly reduced.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a method for recommending a carpool route according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application; based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B described above, this embodiment is shown in FIG. 5 The recommended method includes the following steps 501-504.

Step 501: For each of the at least two users, determine the independent first travel distance of each user on the corresponding carpool route and the duration of the first travel on the first travel distance.

In FIG. 4B, for the user ABC1, the independent first travel distance of the user ABC1 is the distance between the starting position 41 and the starting position 42 of the user ABC2. If the departure time corresponding to the user ABC1 is t ₁₁ and the user ABC2 starts riding at t ₂₁ , the duration of the first independent trip of the user ABC1 is t _21- t _11. For example, the departure time corresponding to the user ABC1 is 15: 00, the departure time corresponding to the user ABC2 is 15:20, then the duration of the first trip of the user ABC1 traveling on the first trip distance is 20 minutes. For the user ABC2, the independent first travel distance d ₁₁ is 0, and the first travel duration t ₁₁ is 0. For the user ABC3, the independent first travel distance d ₁₁ is 0, and the first travel duration t ₁₁ is 0.

In an embodiment, the first travel distance independently of each user on the corresponding carpool route may be determined based on a distance calculation method well known to those skilled in the art.

Step 502: Determine a user who is carpooling with each user.

As shown in FIG. 4B, each user is a user ABC1, a user ABC2, and a user ABC3. The users who share the car with user ABC1 are user ABC2 and user ABC3. The users who share the car with user ABC2 are user ABC1 and user ABC3. The users who share the car with user ABC3 are user ABC1 and user ABC2.

Step 503: Determine the duration of the second trip and the second trip distance shared by each user on the carpool route.

As shown in FIG. 4B, if the user ABC2 starts riding at 15:20, the user ABC3 starts riding at 15:40, and the arrival time point is 16:20, the second trip shared by the user ABC1 and the user ABC2 on the carpool route The duration is 60 minutes, and the duration of the second trip shared by users ABC1 and ABC3 on the ride-sharing route is 40 minutes. Based on the respective starting positions of users ABC1, ABC2, and ABC3, the second travel distance shared by users ABC1, ABC2, and ABC3 on the corresponding ride-sharing route can be determined by distance calculation methods familiar to those skilled in the art. Two stroke distances correspond to two.

Step 504: Determine the first fare for each user on the corresponding carpool route based on the first journey duration, the first journey distance, the second journey duration, and the second journey distance.

For the user ABC1, the first ride fee P1 of the user ABC1 on the route shown in FIG. 4B can be calculated by the following formula (1):

Among them, c _t is the fare per unit time, c _d is the fare per unit distance, t ₁₁ is the duration of the independent journey of the user ABC1 on the carpool route, and d ₁₁ is the independent travel distance of the user ABC1 on the carpool route (corresponding to The distance between the starting position 41 and the starting position 42 in FIG. 4B), t ₂₁ is the duration of the trip shared by the user ABC1 and the user ABC2 on the shared route, and d ₂₁ is the trip shared by the user ABC1 and the user ABC2 on the shared route. Distance, t ₃₁ is the duration of the trip shared by users ABC1, ABC2, and ABC3 on the ride-sharing route, and d ₃₁ is the travel distance of users ABC1, ABC2, and ABC3 on the ride-sharing route.

Similarly, for each user's ride fare on the ride-sharing route, the general calculation formula (2) is as follows:

Among them, c _t is the fare per unit time, c _d is the fare per unit distance, t ₁₁ is the duration of the user's independent journey on the carpool route, d ₁₁ is the user's independent travel distance on the carpool route, and M is the carpool route The number of shared road segments on the road, N is the number of users participating in carpooling on the i-th shared road segment, t _N1 is the duration of the journey of the N users on the shared road segment on the i-th shared road segment, and d _N1 is the i-th road segment The distance traveled by the N users on the shared section.

As shown in FIG. 4B, the number of shared sections is two, and the shared sections include the section between the starting position 42 and the starting position 43 and the section between the starting position 43 and the destination position 40.

For the user ABC2, through the above general formula (2), the formula (3) for calculating the first ride fare P1 of the user ABC2 in the route shown in FIG. 4B is:

Among them, for the user ABC2, t _{11 is} equal to zero and d _{11 is} equal to zero.

In this embodiment, each user is determined by dividing the carpool route into an independent first journey distance and a shared second journey distance, based on the independent first journey distance and the shared second journey distance and the corresponding journey duration. The fare on the carpool route realizes the fine division of the carpool route and improves the accuracy of each user's fare on the carpool route.

FIG. 6 is a schematic flowchart of a method for recommending a carpool route according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present application; this embodiment is based on the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 1D, and as shown in FIG. 6, the carpool The route recommendation method includes the following steps 601 to 604.

Step 601: For each of the at least two users, predict the duration of each user's independent third trip distance on the corresponding carpool route and the third trip distance traveled on the third trip distance.

In FIG. 4B, for the user ABC1, the independent third trip distance of the user ABC1 is the distance between the departure position 41 and the departure position 42 of the user ABC2. If the user ABC2 enters his estimated starting position 42 in the input box 14 corresponding to the starting position through the user interface shown in FIG. 1D, based on the distance between the starting position 41 and the starting position 42 and the current road condition information, the first Three trips last. For the user ABC2, the independent first travel distance d ₁₂ is 0, and the first travel duration t ₁₂ is 0. For the user ABC3, the independent first travel distance d ₁₂ is 0, and the first travel duration t ₁₂ is 0.

In an embodiment, a third travel distance independent of each user on the corresponding carpool route may be determined based on a distance calculation method well known to those skilled in the art.

Step 602: Determine a user who is carpooling with each user.

Step 603: Predict the duration of the fourth journey shared by each user on the ride-sharing route and the shared fourth journey distance.

As shown in FIG. 4B, similar to predicting the duration of each user ’s independent first trip, referring to the user ’s starting position on the same carpool route, and road condition information on the corresponding carpool route, it is possible to predict the first user ’s shared carpool route. Four strokes last.

Step 604: Based on the third journey duration, the third journey distance, the fourth journey duration, and the fourth journey distance, predict a second ride fee for each user on the corresponding carpool route.

For the user ABC1, the second passenger fare P2 estimated by the user ABC1 in the route shown in FIG. 4B can be predicted by the following formula (4):

Among them, c _t is the fare per unit time, c _d is the fare per unit distance, t ₁₂ is the predicted duration of the independent journey of the user ABC1 on the carpool route, and d ₁₂ is the independent travel distance of the user ABC1 on the carpool route. (Corresponding to the distance between the starting position 41 and the starting position 42 in FIG. 4B), t ₂₂ is the predicted duration of the shared route between the user ABC1 and the user ABC2 on the carpool route, and d ₂₂ is the user ABC1 and the user ABC2 on the carpool route The travel distance of the shared road segment, t ₃₂ is the predicted travel duration of the user ABC1, the user ABC2, the user ABC3 on the carpool route, and d ₃₂ is the travel distance of the user ABC1, user ABC2, and user ABC3 on the carpool route. .

Similarly, the general calculation formula (5) for the ride cost predicted by each user on the carpool route is as follows:

Among them, c _t is the fare per unit of time, c _d is the fare per unit distance, t ₁₂ is the predicted duration of the user's independent journey on the carpool route, d ₁₂ is the independent travel distance of the user on the carpool route, and M is The number of shared road segments on the carpool route, N is the number of users participating in carpooling on the i-th shared road segment, t _N2 is the predicted duration of the journey of the N users on the shared road segment on the i-th shared road segment, and d _N2 is The travel distance of N users on the i-th section on the shared section. For the ride fare predicted by the users ABC2 and ABC3 on the carpool route, in the above general calculation formula, t ₁₂ and d _{12 are} equal to zero.

In this embodiment, by dividing the carpool route into an independent third journey distance and a shared fourth journey distance, based on the independent third journey distance and the shared fourth journey distance and the predicted corresponding journey duration, each prediction is made. A user's ride-hailing cost on a carpool route can enable the user to know his approximate fare in advance; by finely dividing the carpool route, the accuracy of the predicted ride-hailing cost is ensured.

Based on any of the embodiments shown in FIG. 4A to FIG. 6, the method for recommending a carpool route may further include: based on the destination location in the carpool request, the time point to reach the destination location, and the respective departure locations of at least two users. To determine the vehicle information corresponding to the recommended ride-sharing route.

For example, if the server determines m carpool routes (m is a positive integer) based on the destination location, the point in time of reaching the destination location, and the respective departure locations of at least two users, the server may determine that m vehicles need to be dispatched, and The starting position on the carpool route is the center, the vehicles located within a certain range are determined, and a car is assigned to each carpool route nearby.

By determining the vehicle information corresponding to the recommended carpooling route, the overall number of vehicles of at least two users and the route of each car can be planned, thereby making the carpooling method more flexible.

Corresponding to the foregoing embodiments of the carpooling method, this application further provides an embodiment of a carpooling device.
