Title:
METHODS AND DEVICES FOR ORDERING AND LOCALIZATION OF TRANSPORTATION BY VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/139531
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A mobile device (10) is enabled to order and/or localize a vehicle (20B) in a fleet of vehicles associated with a transportation service when the mobile device (10) is unable to connect to a WAN and/or obtain its current GNSS position. In proximity ordering, the mobile device (10) composes a ride request destined for a transportation server (40) and transmits, by wireless short-range communication (e.g. WiFi or Bluetooth), the ride request for receipt by a proximate vehicle (20A) in the fleet, said ride request causing the proximate vehicle (20A) to provide the ride request to the transportation server (40) over a WAN (30), the ride request causing the transportation server (40) to designate the ride request to a vehicle (20B). In text message ordering, the mobile device (10) transmits the ride request in a text message (SMS) to the transportation server (40). The designated vehicle (20B) may be localized by the mobile device (10) by use of short-range local positioning or short-range remote positioning.
