Description

Hitchhiking, an app that matches pedestrians and drivers The present invention relates to a method of operation of a matching application that connects pedestrians and vehicle drivers. Location-based services (LBS) include systems that utilize GPS and other location recognition technologies to accurately determine a user's real-time location and effectively match pedestrians and drivers based on this. Mobile application development optimizes the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) through smartphone-based mobile application development technologies, providing an intuitive and convenient user environment. Explains the overall operation process of the app through diagrams. Data processing and analysis technology utilizes big data processing technology to analyze collected location information and user data, and is equipped with the capability to provide optimal matching results through matching algorithms. Real-time communication technology enables seamless communication by implementing push notifications and chat systems to support real-time messaging and notification functions between users. The evaluation and review system establishes a framework to enhance reliability and continuously improve service quality through user-to-user evaluation and review functions. Cloud computing ensures efficient operation by applying cloud-based server management technology that securely stores user data and enables rapid responses to requests. These technologies are key elements that support the more effective and safe operation of apps that match pedestrians and drivers. Explains the overall operation process of the app through diagrams. Server : The central server collects location information, executes matching algorithms, and manages the database. Client Application : An application that pedestrians and drivers can each use on their smartphones. 2. Function Description 2.1 User Registration Registration Process : Users register using email, phone number, etc., and enter profile information (name, photo, vehicle information, etc.). Identity Verification : Implement identity authentication procedures for security (e.g., ID authentication). 2.2 Location Information Collection GPS Function : Collects the real-time location of pedestrians and drivers via GPS. Location-based services : Users must allow location services, and data is stored in an encrypted manner to protect personal information. 2.3 Matching Algorithm Path Analysis : Analyzes the pedestrian's destination and the driver's path to evaluate the likelihood of matching. Priority Setting : Sets priorities based on distance, estimated arrival time, user ratings, etc., to suggest the optimal match. 2.4 Real-time Communication Messaging System : Provides the ability to exchange messages in real time between matched users. Push Notification : Sends notifications to the user upon receiving matching results and messages. 2.5 Evaluation System User Feedback : Provides peer evaluation and review functions after matching, and calculates reliability based on evaluation scores. Review Analysis : Analyze collected reviews and utilize the data to improve service quality. 2.6 Data Storage and Analysis User Database : Stores profiles, matching records, evaluation results, etc. Analysis Module : Analyzes user behavior and processes statistical data to improve matching success rates. 3. Safety and Privacy Protection Encryption : User data is encrypted for secure storage and protected during transmission. Private Settings : This feature allows users to set location and profile information to private if desired. 4. Additional features Estimated Fare Calculation : This is a function that calculates the estimated fare when a driver accepts a pedestrian. Recommendation System : Provides recommended drivers based on the user's past behavior. 5. Legal Considerations User Consent : User consent for the collection and processing of personal information must be clearly obtained. Compliance with local laws : Operations must be conducted in compliance with relevant laws and regulations of the service provision area. 01: User Interface (UI) This is a screen where users can register as pedestrians or drivers and enter their location and destination. 102: Location Information Collection Module It is a function that collects the real-time location of pedestrians and drivers using GPS or other location-based services (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.). 03: Matching Algorithm An algorithm for analyzing pedestrian destinations and drivers' routes to generate optimal matches. It evaluates the likelihood of a match by considering user profiles, distance, time, etc. 104: Profile Management System It is a feature that allows users to register and modify their information (name, contact details, ratings, etc.). 105: Messaging System It is a function that allows pedestrians and drivers to exchange messages in real time. 106: Rating System A feature that allows users to leave ratings for each other after a
