CONTEXT-AWARE DISTRIBUTIVE TAXI CAB DISPATCHING

摘要

Technologies are presented that provide a cloud-based context-aware distributive taxi cab dispatching service to registered users. A method of providing this service may include receiving, from a user device of a registered user, a request for taxi information, obtaining the requested information from one or more computing devices of one or more taxi cabs or taxi service companies and one or more data stores, and providing the obtained information to the user device. The provided taxi information may be based on a passenger profile of the user and may include a list of taxi cabs recommended based on the profile. The method may further include scheduling a selected taxi cab. The method may also include monitoring the user's location and updating the scheduling of the taxi based on the user's location. The method may also include monitoring the user's location while in a taxi for data collection and safety reasons.
