A system for casual driver ride sharing includes an interface and processor. The interface is to receive a request for a ride from a user, wherein the request includes GPS information for the user. The processor is to determine compatibility between the typical route information and the request for the ride; determine a ranked list based at least in part on the compatibility; and provide a ride offer to a driver of the one or more casual drivers based at least in part on the ranked list.

Casual driver ride sharing

A system for determining a dispatch includes an input interface, a processor, and an output interface. The input interface is to receive a request for a first pickup including a first pickup location and a first destination. The processor is configured to determining a driver to dispatch to the first pickup location. The output interface is to provide a first pickup indication to the driver to go to the first pickup location. The input interface is further to receive a first pickup arrival indication indicating the driver arrived at the first pickup location. The output interface is further to provide a first destination indication indicating to the driver to go to the first destination. The input interface is further to receive a request for a second pickup including a second pickup location and a second destination.

Ride chaining

In one embodiment, the first processors of a mobile device determine an operating condition of the mobile device. These operating conditions are based on a current velocity of the mobile device, and the current time of day. If the operating conditions satisfy an operating criteria for the mobile device, the first processors send a message to second processors of the mobile device, causing one or more of the second processors to wake up from a sleeping state to an active state.

Dynamic duty-cycling of processor of mobile device based on operating condition of mobile device

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving content from a first user at a first time, determining whether one or more second users should be notified of the received content based on an associated first priority level, and sending a first notification to these second users. The first notification includes a subset of user-facing information of the received content. The method additionally includes receiving an update to the content from the first user at a second time which is later in time than the first time, determining whether one or more second users should be notified of the received update based on an associated second priority level, and sending a second notification to these second users. The second notification includes a second subset of the user-facing information associated with the received update.

Mobile push notification

In one embodiment, a geo-social networking system determines a user's current location, generate a list of places near the user's current location, rank the list of places based on distance, relevancy and a configurable rule set, and automatically checks in the user at the top ranked place.

Automated location check-in for geo-social networking system

In one embodiment, a mobile computing device has a first processor and a second processor. The mobile device determines an operating condition of the mobile device, the operating condition being based on at least the current time of day, a current activity of a user associated with the mobile device, or a current proximity of the mobile device to a place connected to the user of the mobile device through an on-line social network. If the operating conditions of the mobile device are satisfied, the first processor of the mobile device sends a message to the second processor of the mobile device, the message causing the second processor to transition from a sleep state to an active state.

Substantially continuous location logging for geographic-positioning capable devices

In one embodiment, a processor may identify information about an entity represented by a first node in a social graph for a social-networking system. The information may comprise a location for the entity and an affinity score for the entity with respect to a user, wherein the user is represented by a second node in the social graph. The processor may then determine a region defined with respect to the location of the entity, wherein the region is defined based in part on the affinity score for the entity, as well as determining that a location of a mobile device associated with the user is within the region. Finally, the processor may cause the mobile device to transition from a sleep state to an active state.
