NETWORK COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR MATCHING SERVICE PROVIDERS TO TRANSPORT REQUESTS USING PROVIDER-SELECTED CRITERION

Abstract:

A network computing system that operates to enable each service provider of a plurality of service providers to select a parametric value that is determinative of a service value for a transport service that is to be provided by the service provider over a given time interval. The network computing system can match service providers to transport requests, based on determination that matched service providers satisfy each of (i) an arrival condition for the transport request of the requester, and (ii) a service value condition that is based at least in part on the selected parametric value of the matched service provider.
