WIRELESS BEACON DEVICES FOR USE IN MANAGING TRANSPORTATION SERVICE TERMINALS

摘要

There are provided systems and methods for wireless beacon devices for use in managing transportation service terminals. A user may travel with a device, such as a communication device, that includes a communication module that may utilize specialized hardware features to establish short range wireless communications with nearby wireless beacons. The wireless beacons may be established at or nearby transportation service terminals, such as bus/train stops. The beacon may provide the aforementioned communication services with the communication device and be utilized to determine whether the user will utilize a transportation service for the terminal. If the user wishes to utilize the transportation service, a transportation service may be alerted. The user may also be alerted of an expected time of arrival for the transportation service, other transportation services available at the transportation terminal, and/or of nearby transportation terminals.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a non-transitory memory storing first communication device identifier and transportation routing information comprising travel routes for a plurality of transportation services including a first transportation service; one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising: accessing the first communication device identifier for the first communication device connected to a wireless beacon associated with a first transportation terminal, wherein the wireless beacon determines that the first communication device is in proximity of the wireless beacon by monitoring short range communications frequencies and connects to the first communication device; determining the first transportation service associated with the first transportation terminal using transportation routing information; determining that a user wants to utilize the first transportation service; generating a first communication for the first transportation service, wherein the first communication alerts the first transportation service that the user wants to utilize the first transportation service; and communicating the first communication to a first device associated with the first transportation service.
