Values of a variable affecting the determination of the driver of a shared ride may be calculated. Each value may be associated with a respective potential driver. An optimal value from the calculated values may be selected. A potential driver associated with the selected optimal value may be assigned as the driver of the shared ride. The variable may be carbon emission, electricity consumption, passenger to driver role ratio, driving distance, driving time, vehicle size, fuel efficiency, electricity to gasoline usage ratio, accident occurrence, vehicle safety, vehicle comfort, or vehicle speed. The optimal value may be the lowest value or the highest value from the calculated values. Each value may be calculated based on parameters specified by the respective potential driver.

Computer implementation method for integrating services in a calendar application via meeting request e-mails

A method and system for allocating users as trip accompanies provides for: creating a first trip prediction algorithm, collecting input parameters, predicting by the first trip prediction algorithm using the collected input parameters as input, at least one first trip, executing a matching method, the matching method comparing attributes of the predicted at least one first trip with attributes of at least one second trip, and allocating the first and the second user to each other as trip accompanies in dependence of the matching score of the first and second potential trip data object.

Method for allocating trip sharing

A navigation device and computer implemented method for predicting the destination of a trip, the method being executed by a navigation device, the method comprising the steps of: determining starting parameters, the starting parameters comprising at least the starting point, starting time and date of the trip, executing a destination prediction algorithm, the destination prediction algorithm taking the starting parameters as input and predicting a destination, wherein the destination prediction algorithm is generated by using information of a trip history; determining, upon arrival at the predicted or another destination, the actual destination.

Computer implemented method for integrating services in a calendar application via meeting request e-mails

A system and method to integrate a service in a calendar application. A service integration module and a calendar application may be installed on a client computing device. The service integration module may have read and write access to the calendar application of the client computing device and may submit a service request to a remote service. The service request may be a call of a first web service interface of the service and may initiate the execution of the service which may generate a result. The service integration module may receive the result. The service integration module may process the result, which may include extracting data required for specifying an event in an electronic calendar of the calendar application. The service integration module may create, delete, or modify an event in the electronic calendar of the calendar application.

Computer implemented method for integrating services in a calendar application via web services

This disclosure provides various embodiments of systems, software, and computerized methods for reducing the number of server requests sent to a web server. In one aspect, the software generates a file reference uniquely identifying a version of a file capable of being cached by a requester. The file reference can comprise a network-addressable location of the version of the cacheable file and a parameter uniquely identifying the version of the cacheable file, where the parameter is separated from the network-addressable location of the version of the cacheable file. The software can further embed the file reference into a web page file, and send the web page file in response to a request for the web page. The parameter may include a plurality of data elements, such as a second instance of the file name, a timestamp, or a version number of the cacheable file.

Techniques for allocating drivers and passengers sharing a trip. The techniques may include a trip sharing service comprising receiving a first service request; specifying a first potential trip data object by the trip sharing service and executing a matching method. Matching may include checking a first potential trip data object against at least a second potential trip data object. Matching may further include comparing the specifications of the first potential trip data object with the specifications of the at least one second potential trip data object, determining the degree of congruency of the specifications of the compared potential trip data objects, assigning one role to a first and a second user, and adding the second potential trip data object to a result list in case the determined degree of congruency between the first and the second potential trip data object exceeds a predefined threshold.
