Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an information providing method for an on-demand service. The method may include receiving service request information from a passenger of a passenger terminal device. The service request information may include a departure location of the passenger. The method may further include acquiring historical service request information related to the passenger; and determining travel-route-related information based at least in part on the departure location of the passenger and the historical service request information. Also disclosed is a system for implementing the method.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method implemented on a computing device having at least one processor, at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and a communication platform connected to a network, comprising:
receiving, from a passenger terminal device, first electrical signals encoding service request information of a passenger, wherein the service request information includes a departure location of the passenger;
operating logical circuits in the at least one processor to obtain historical service request information related to the passenger; and

operating the logical circuits in the at least one processor to determine travel-route-related information based at least in part on the departure location of the passenger and the historical service request information, wherein the travel-route-related information includes at least one of a destination, a route between a current location of the passenger and the destination, or a distance of the route, the destination is determined based on a classification model, and the classification model is based on at least one address classification type of the destinations.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service request information includes time information.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating second electrical signals encoding the travel-route-related information to send to the passenger terminal device.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
receiving third electrical signals encoding processed data related to the travel-route-related information by the passenger of the passenger terminal device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the historical service request information includes at least one of a historical departure location, a historical destination, a historical route between the historical departure location of the passenger and the historical destination, or a distance of the historical route.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising operating the logical circuits in the at least one processor to determine a service fee.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
receiving fourth electrical signals encoding information of multiple locations where a driver stays at multiple time points; and
operating the logical circuits in the at least one processor to determine the service fee based at least in part on the information of the multiple locations.

8. A system, comprising:
at least one non-transitory storage medium including a set of instructions;
at least one processor n communication with the at least one non-transitory storage medium, wherein when executing the set of instructions, the at least one processor is configured to cause the system to:
receive first electrical signals encoding service request information of a passenger from a passenger terminal device, wherein the service request information includes a departure location of the passenger;
operate logical circuits in the at least one processor to obtain historical service request information related to the passenger; and
operate the logical circuits in the at least one processor to determine travel-route-related information based at least in part on the departure location of the passenger and the historical service request information, wherein the travel-route-related information includes at least one of a destination, a route between a current location of the passenger and the destination, or a distance of the route, the destination is determined based on a classification model, and the classification model is based on at least one address classification type of the destinations.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the service request information includes time information.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the system to;
generate second electrical signals encoding the travel-route-related information; and
send the generated second electrical signals to the passenger terminal device.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the system to receive third electrical signals encoding processed data related to the travel-route-related information by the passenger of the passenger terminal device.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the historical service request information includes at least one of a historical departure location, a historical destination, a historical route between the historical departure location of the passenger and the historical destination, or a distance of the historical route.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the system to operate the logical circuits in the at least one processor to determine a service fee.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the system to:
receive fourth electrical signals encoding information of multiple locations where a driver stays at multiple time points; and
operate the logical circuits in the at least one processor to determine the service fee based at least in part on the information of the multiple locations.
