Patent Application
20210103877
The present invention relates generally to the fields of interactive real time systems and real time methods of use in the conveyance industry segments.
As in any new industry or industry segment, when created, there are typically multiple inefficiencies in the related systems and methods due to there not being enough data or knowledge on how to optimize these systems and methods ahead of time. These inefficiencies are typically identified over time through trial and error, which leads to technological advancement in the field. The same can be said about the conveyance industry and many of the new conveyance industry segments such as the ride-hail industry segment, rideshare industry segment, good delivery industry segment, and courier industry segment.
The current inefficient systems and methods available in the conveyance industry segments lead to disadvantages for conveyance clients. The companies or entities themselves, hereinafter referred to as service providers, as well as the representatives carrying out the services for the service providers, are disadvantaged also.
The problems relating to the current systems and methods used in the conveyance industry segments are rooted in computer technology and tied to the fact that the modern conveyance industry segments operate and change drastically in real time or near real time. Conveyance industry segments are real time or near real time environments in that conveyance service requests and conveyance service offerings are available one second and gone the next second. In the real time or near real time conveyance industry segments, neither a representative nor a conveyance client can procure all or most of the real time or near real time information and analyze or evaluate this information accurately to make a well-informed decision on the fly. There is currently no real time or near real time system or real time or near real time method that can assist both a representative and a conveyance client with this type of analysis. This lack of a real time or near real time system or real time or near real time method leads to a representative securing or obtaining a suboptimal, one-size-fits-all conveyance service request and a conveyance client securing or obtaining a suboptimal, one-size-fits-all conveyance service offering due to the inability to apply their own preferences.
Currently, a conveyance client requesting a ride in the ride-hail industry segment, can have many different ride options, prices, wait times, and times to destination depending on which service provider a given conveyance service offering is from and when the conveyance service offering is secured or obtained. However, a conveyance client is given options of conveyance service offerings from only one service provider to accept or decline. A representative is limited even further as only one conveyance service request is shown when a representative wants to provide a conveyance service in any conveyance industry segment. Currently, there is a poor system and method to dispatch or assign representatives to conveyance service requests and conveyance service offerings to conveyance clients. Thus, there exists a need that the present invention addresses.
The existing systems and methods for a representative to analyze or evaluate incoming conveyance service requests are difficult and time consuming in the fast-paced, real time or near real time environment of conveyance industry segments. The current technology does not permit a representative to analyze or evaluate and then secure or obtain conveyance service requests that the representative would prefer based on their individual preferences. Representatives are currently given a single conveyance service request and only have the option to accept or decline that specific conveyance service request without an alternative. Generally, any details of a conveyance service request a representative is securing or obtaining are not provided ahead of time but are only revealed after that conveyance service request is secured or obtained. A representative must choose to either secure or obtain a conveyance service request without knowing any of the details of the conveyance service to be provided or choose not to work at all.
Furthermore, a representative is penalized for canceling a conveyance service request the representative does not wish to fulfill even though the representative likely never would have secured or obtained that conveyance service request in the first place had the representative been given a choice. This disadvantage among others, has led to the common practice of representatives working for more than one service provider at the same time to give the representatives some semblance of choice. However, that method of analyzing or evaluating is a very laborious and time-consuming process which is not useful or practical in the real time or near real time environment of conveyance industry segments.
To analyze or evaluate conveyance service requests, a representative would need to login to multiple applications from different service providers and navigate between these applications, viewing one individual conveyance service request per application. Analyzing or evaluating conveyance service requests in such a way takes a lot of time and can cause a representative to miss conveyance service requests in the real time or near real time environment that a representative would consider as preferred. Currently there is no system or method that a representative can use as a tool to analyze or evaluate conveyance service requests in real time or near real time.
A representative is currently not able to analyze or evaluate conveyance service requests from more than one service provider in real time or near real time given conventional systems and methods, which is a frustrating hindrance when every other aspect of the conveyance industry segments operate in real time or near real time. A representative's decision-making ability is limited given the current state of the art. With no way to analyze or evaluate conveyance service requests continuously in real time or near real time, a representative currently is not able to maximize their profit or work as efficiently as they would like, as the representative is forced to secure or obtain less preferred conveyance service requests. To secure or obtain a preferred conveyance service request, a representative may have to wait and pass up less preferred conveyance service requests for a more preferred conveyance service request to become available to them, as representatives are only provided one conveyance service request at a time. A representative wishing to work more efficiently is not able to do so given the current limitations of the systems and methods in the conveyance industry segments.
There is also currently no system or method to analyze or evaluate and secure or obtain conveyance service requests in real time or near real time across more than one conveyance industry segment. This lack of a real time or near real time system or real time or near real time method further limits a representative's exposure in the conveyance industry and their ability to operate more efficiently if the representative wants to provide conveyance services in more than one conveyance industry segment. In addition, current limitations also reduce the amount of potential preferred conveyance service requests available to a representative. Currently, if a representative wants to provide a ride in the ride-hail industry segment, then deliver food in the good delivery industry segment because that conveyance service request is in close proximity to them, a representative does not have the ability to analyze or evaluate and then secure or obtain these preferred conveyance service requests in real time or near real time. If there were a system and method for a representative to be able to do so, the representative would have access to a greater number of diverse conveyance service requests and gives the representative more flexibility in providing conveyance services within the conveyance industry. One aspect of the present invention solves this problem for representatives.
Currently, some service providers dynamically increase prices in certain areas for various reasons. Representatives looking to work more efficiently or earn more money try to work in these areas as much as possible. The problem is that by the time a representative gets to the area with elevated pricing, the increased pricing has either moved or been removed. Representatives experience the challenge of chasing the elevated pricing areas but generally do not have the chance to capitalize on them. As a result, some representatives have given up on chasing areas with elevated pricing. Currently there is no system or method a representative can use to predict where the areas of elevated pricing will be in order to maximize their earning potential.
Currently, representatives are assigned or provided with one conveyance service request at a time that can either be blindly accepted, without knowing any details, or rejected. This process is not a useful way of presenting conveyance service requests to representatives. Existing technology is lacking in a way to visually present preferred conveyance service requests from multiple service providers on a geographical map with dynamic icons being updated in real time or near real time. Currently there is no system or method to display to a representative a visually identifiable preferred conveyance service request relative to a less preferred conveyance service request.
Conveyance clients often endure similar problems or challenges as representatives. Currently when a conveyance client is looking to secure or obtain a conveyance service offering, the conveyance client is only shown the closest representatives from an individual service provider. The only way for conveyance clients to analyze or evaluate conveyance service offerings from different service providers is a very tedious and time-consuming process similar to that for representatives. First a conveyance client would have to know about a competitor, then download the competitor's application, and input the same search criteria for the first service provider. This process would have to be repeated for every other competitor a conveyance client wishes to evaluate.
In the fast-paced conveyance industry segments, where seconds can matter greatly in being able to secure or obtain a preferred conveyance service offering, current methods are not practical or useful to analyze or evaluate conveyance service offerings in real time or near real time. In most cases, by the time a conveyance client goes through the steps to analyze or evaluate even two or three service providers, the preferred conveyance service offering given a conveyance client's preferences is likely no longer available. As a result, a conveyance client often pays more or waits longer for a conveyance service than needed since there is currently no way to visually analyze or evaluate conveyance service offerings from multiple service providers in real time or near real time. Existing technology is lacking in a way to visually present preferred conveyance service offerings from multiple service providers on a geographical map with dynamic icons being updated in real time or near real time. An improved system and method are needed.
When service providers increase their pricing in certain areas, conveyance clients currently do not have a system or method to determine if there is an area close by which does not have elevated pricing. Currently, there is no way for a conveyance client to visually analyze or evaluate different areas on a geographical map to see pricing information for an individual service provider, let alone for multiple service providers. The downside of this lack in transparency is that conveyance clients do not have an opportunity to make an informed purchasing decision given their current limited options in the conveyance industry segments. One aspect of the present invention solves this problem for conveyance clients.
The present invention recognizes that there is a long felt need for more efficient systems in the interactive conveyance industry for goods and services.
A first aspect of the present invention generally relates to an interactive system in the conveyance and other industries.
A second aspect of the present invention generally relates to a method of use of the interactive system of the present invention.

The conveyance client can use a heat map of the present invention to determine an area of elevated pricing around a real time or near real time geographical location of a conveyance client. If the conveyance client is in an area of elevated pricing, the conveyance client can visually determine a potential nearby area that does not have elevated pricing. The conveyance client can then have the option of walking to an area that does not have elevated pricing to request a conveyance service. As a result, the conveyance client can now pay much less for a similar conveyance service.
One benefit of the present invention can be the ability of a representative to operate or provide a conveyance service in multiple conveyance industry segments. Currently, a service provider does not have the ability to enable a representative to operate in an additional conveyance industry segment at the same time. The present invention can allow the representative to operate initially in one conveyance industry segment, then perform a conveyance service in a different conveyance industry segment, and then go back to operate in the first conveyance industry segment. The present invention can seamlessly allow the representative to transfer between different conveyance industry segments based on the representative preference.
One benefit of the present invention can be the ability of the conveyance client to analyze or evaluate and then secure or obtain a preferred conveyance service offering in a conveyance industry segment.

Referring to
Using an example within the ride-hail industry segment and referring to
Once logged into an application 6, a conveyance client 1 can input or provide a beginning service geographical location, an ending service geographical location, and a conveyance client preference 4 into an application 6. In this example, a conveyance client 1 can input or provide one conveyance client preference 4, a pricing preference. A pricing preference can be, e.g., a preference of elevated pricing of no more than 2× normal pricing for the cost of a conveyance service.
Preferably, this conveyance client preference 4 can enable a conveyance client 1 to analyze or evaluate a heat map 12 with filtered conveyance service offerings 17 that can be more desired by a conveyance client 1. Central server 9 can filter out conveyance service offerings 16 that do not match or satisfy the conveyance client preference 4 for a conveyance client 1. Benefits of conveyance client preferences 4 can be to allow a conveyance client 1 to better meet their criteria in receiving a conveyance service such as lower pricing, shorter wait time, shorter time to destination, more suitable conveyance service offerings 16, or a combination thereof. The conveyance client preference 4 for this example and preferably the real time or near real time geographical location of a conveyance client 1 can be transmitted to a central server 9 by way of a link 8.
A central server 9 can filter conveyance service offerings 16 into filtered conveyance service offerings 17 by comparing to a conveyance client preference 4 and preferably the real time or near real time geographical location of a conveyance client 1. Conveyance service offerings 16 that match the indicated two conveyance client preferences 4 can be identified as filtered conveyance service offerings 17. Conveyance service offerings 16 that do not match the indicated two conveyance client preferences 4 can be discarded or ignored as not being filtered conveyance service offerings 17. Preferably, additional conveyance service offerings 16 can be received and continuously filtered by a central server 9 into additional filtered conveyance service offerings 17.
Filtered conveyance service offerings 17 can be transmitted from a central server 9 to an application 6 by way of a link 8. An application 6 can then compile a heat map 12 displaying, e.g., elevated pricing metrics of filtered conveyance service offerings 17 as distinguishable shades of color on a heat map 12. A heat map 12 can be compiled on an application 6 by combining a geographical map relating to the real time or near real time geographical location of a conveyance client 1 with conveyance data relating to elevated pricing metrics of filtered conveyance service offerings 17. Conveyance data relating to the elevated pricing metrics of filtered conveyance service offerings 17 can be positioned on a heat map 12 relating to corresponding geographical locations contained therein. A heat map 12 can preferably be refreshed continuously in real time or near real time with updated conveyance data relating to the elevated pricing metrics of filtered conveyance service offerings 17.
A conveyance client 1 can then preferably visually analyze or evaluate a heat map 12 prior to securing or obtaining a filtered conveyance service offering 17 or a preferred conveyance service offering 18 after which the conveyance client receives the requested conveyance service.
In one example, service providers 5 #1 and #2 can display elevated pricing of 1.5× at the real time or near real time geographical location of a conveyance client 1. Service provider 5 #3 can display elevated pricing of 2× at the real time or near real time geographical location of a conveyance client 1 and elevated pricing of 1.8× one hundred yards east of the real time or near real time geographical location of a conveyance client 1. Conveyance client 1 can analyze or evaluate a heat map 12 and find that just two hundred feet north of the real time or near real time geographical location of a conveyance client 1, there is no elevated pricing for service provider 5 #1.
In this example, a conveyance client 1 chooses to walk from his or her current location north two hundred feet to secure or obtain the preferred conveyance service offering 18 with no elevated pricing from service provider 5 #1. A conveyance client 1 can receive a conveyance service from service provider 5 #1.
The application 6, central server 9, external server (s) 10, terminal 7, link 8, or a combination thereof, can be combined or integrated. The conveyance client 1 can utilize a visual representation that can display a heat map 12 on terminal 7 that can be integrated or associated with application 6, central server 9, external server(s) 10, link 8, or a combination thereof.
Once a central server 9 receives a conveyance service request 13 from an external server 10, a central server 9 can filter a conveyance service request 13 using a representative preference 3 and preferably the real time or near real time geographical location of a representative 2 into a filtered conveyance service request 14. A central server 9 can calculate the weighted average of a representative preference 3. A central server 9 can preferably sort a filtered conveyance service request 14 in an order relating to the corresponding weighted averages to identify one or more preferred conveyance service request 15. A preferred conveyance service request 15 can be identified by a central server 9 as a filtered conveyance service request 14 that has the highest weighted average from a filtered conveyance service request 14. Not every conveyance service request 13 can become a filtered conveyance service request 14 and not every filtered conveyance service request 14 can become a preferred conveyance service request 15. One or more function of a central server 9 can be performed by an application 6. A link can be a connection or an association with a software function or a software component relating to an application 6, a terminal 7, a central server 9, an external server 10, or a combination thereof.
A fifth aspect of the present invention includes a real time or near real time method to assist a conveyance client in a process of securing or obtaining, within the conveyance industry, a preferred conveyance service offering relating to a conveyance client preference and a real time or near real time geographical location of the conveyance client by using a visual representation that may be generated in the system of Example 3.

A central server 9 can store, standardize, aggregate, or a combination thereof, conveyance service offerings 16 in any order. A conveyance client 1 can input or provide two conveyance client preferences 4, the real time or near real time geographical location of a conveyance client 1, or a combination thereof, to a central server 9.
A central server 9 can compare conveyance service offerings 16 to the real time or near real time geographical location of a conveyance client 1 and discard or ignore conveyance service offerings 16 that are not associated with selected service providers 5. A subset of conveyance service offerings 16 that match or satisfy a service provider inclusion preference can be identified as filtered conveyance service offerings 17.
A service provider inclusion preference can be given a weight of 40% by a conveyance client 1 and can be set to include only Company A and Company B. A filtered conveyance service offering 17 associated with Company A and Company B can be assigned a score of 10 out of 10 by a central server 9. A filtered conveyance service offering 17 not associated with Company A and Company B can be assigned a score of 0 out of 10 by a central server 9.
A pricing preference can be given a weight of 60% and can be set by a conveyance client 1 to include filtered conveyance service offerings 17 that cost less than $20.00. A filtered conveyance service offering 17 that costs more than $20.00 can be assigned a score of 0 out of 10 by a central server 9. A filtered conveyance service offering 17 that costs between $10.00-$20.00 can be assigned a score of 5 out of 10 by a central server 9. A filtered conveyance service offering 17 that costs less than $10.00 can be assigned a score of 10 out of 10 by a central server 9.
A filtered conveyance service offering 17 associated with Company A and costs $15.00 can be calculated or determined by a central server 9 as having a weighted average of (40% of 10) plus (60% of 5) that can equal 7 based on a service provider inclusion preference and a pricing preference. A filtered conveyance service offering 17 can preferably be sorted in a descending order relating to a weighted average of 7 in this instance and can be identified as a preferred conveyance service offering 18 in comparison to other filtered conveyance service offerings 17 with lower weighted averages.
A conveyance client 1 can analyze or evaluate a dynamic map such as the example shown in
This example describes use of the inventive method and system by a representative who enters a representative preference to identify and secure or obtain a preferred conveyance service request. For purposes of this example, reference is made to
Using an example in a freight delivery industry segment, a conveyance client 1 can be a company that orders biohazardous material, a representative 2 can be a truck driver, and a preferred conveyance service request 15 can be a freight delivery service request.
A central server 9 can receive conveyance service requests 13 from an external server 10 continuously or repeatedly in real time or near real time and can pre-categorize conveyance service requests 13 by city. A central server 9 can store, standardize, aggregate, or a combination thereof, conveyance service requests 13 in any order. A representative 2 can input or provide one or more representative preference 3, the real time or near real time geographical location of a representative 2, or a combination thereof, to a central server 9.
A central server 9 can compare pre-categorized conveyance service requests 13 to the real time or near real time geographical location of a representative 2 and discard or ignore conveyance service requests 13 being in a different city other than a representative 2. A subset of conveyance service requests 13 within the city of a representative 2 that also matches or satisfies a freight preference can be identified as filtered conveyance service requests 14.
To illustrate, a freight preference can be given a weight of 100% and can be set to include only conveyance service requests 13 relating to conveying biohazardous materials. A filtered conveyance service request 14 relating to conveying biohazardous materials can be assigned a score of 10 out of 10 by a central server 9. A filtered conveyance service request 14 not relating to conveying biohazardous materials can be assigned a score of 0 out of 10 by a central server 9.
A filtered conveyance service request 14 in a freight delivery industry segment that relates to conveying biohazardous materials can be calculated or determined by a central server 9 as having a weighted average of (100% of 10) that can equal 10 based on a freight preference. A maximum function can be utilized to identify a filtered conveyance service request 14 having the highest weighted average in comparison to other filtered conveyance service requests 14 with lower weighted averages as a preferred conveyance service request 15. A representative 2 can secure or obtain the preferred conveyance service request 15.
