Abstract:
When a vehicle is assigned to meet with a customer at a meeting location, as when the customer orders a ride and the taxi, ride-sharing operator, or autonomous vehicle is dispatched, the difficulty of identifying the assigned vehicle among many vehicles or the customer among many people, is solved by providing a code, unique to the meeting at the meeting location. A light signal based on the code is emitted by a first device (of the vehicle or the customer) and distinguished, based on the code, by a second device, whereby the location of the first device is determined and can be displayed or otherwise used for navigating to the other.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of identifying vehicles and users to each other, the method comprising the steps of:\n determining with a management system a code for a first device to send a light signal based on the code, the first device being one of a device in a vehicle and a device with a user, the vehicle and the user to meet at a meeting location, the code being unique at the meeting location; providing the code to a second device with the management system, the second device to distinguish the light signal with a camera of the second device based on the code, the second device being the other one of said device in the vehicle and said device with the user; emitting the light signal based on the code with the first device; distinguishing the light signal with the camera based on the code; determining with the second device the location of the first device in a view of the camera.
