SHORT-TERM AUTOMOBILE RENTALS IN A GEO-SPATIAL ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method, device, and system of a short-term automobile renting system and method are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of a dispatch server includes associating a user with a ride request system and determining that the user has requested to be picked-up at a geo-spatial location associated with a pick-up address of the user. The geo-spatial location is determined based on any of a current geo-spatial location of a mobile device through which the user requests the pick-up and/or a manually entered address in the mobile device of the user that is communicatively coupled with the dispatch server in this aspect. A private vehicle is automatically dispatched in the geo-spatial vicinity of the geo-spatial location associated with the pick-up address of the user using a processor and a memory.

主权项

1. A method of a dispatch server comprising:
restricting communications of a user to a claimed neighborhood in a geographically constrained neighborhood social network based on a verified residential address of the user; associating the user with a ride request system of the geographically constrained neighborhood social network; determining that the user has requested to be picked-up at a geo-spatial location associated with a pick-up address of the user in the claimed neighborhood of the geographically constrained neighborhood social network, wherein the geo-spatial location is determined based on at least one of a current geo-spatial location of a mobile device through which the user requests a pick-up and a manually entered address through the mobile device of the user that matches the claimed address of the user in the geographically constrained neighborhood social network, wherein the mobile device is communicatively coupled with the dispatch server using a processor and a memory; automatically associating a set of private vehicles in a geo-spatial vicinity of the geo-spatial location associated with the pick-up address of the user using the processor and the memory in the claimed neighborhood of the user; dispatching a private vehicle of the set of private vehicles in a the geo-spatial vicinity of the geo-spatial location associated with the pick-up address of the user in the geographically constrained neighborhood social network using the processor and the memory; and permitting the user to track an arrival of the private vehicle through the mobile device using the processor and the memory, wherein determination of which of the set of private vehicles are optimal to a request is based on a budget range of the user in the geographically constrained neighborhood social network, wherein information is provided through a dispatch server and includes identification information of the user who is physically present at a geo-spatial address associated with a pick-up location of the user, wherein the information includes at least one of a picture of the user, a rental history of the user, and a budget of the user, and wherein the information is presented to an operator of the private vehicle in transit to the geo-spatial location of the user through the mobile device of the operator, calculating an estimated time of arrival to a destination associated with the user and transmitting an identifier of the operator of the private vehicle to at least one of the mobile device of the user such that the user knows who and which vehicle is picking them up; adjusting a route of the private vehicle based on a command processed of a passenger console of the ride request system when the user requests a different destination address than an initial destination address; providing a credit to the prospective renter when the prospective renter refers a friend to the ride request system, wherein the credit enables the prospective renter to request future rides in the ride request system; permitting the user to provide a gift certificate in a form of rental credit to friends of the user, such that the friends can redeem the gift certificate through the ride request system, and wherein an attribute ranking is generated into a ride scorecard prioritized based on at least one predefined ideal attribute definition provided by a prospective renter.
