Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for controlling a shared machine. The shared machine includes a mechanism that allows for an operational function of the shared machine to be controlled via a control system. A server system can process location information that indicates a location of the shared machine to determine whether the location corresponds to a non-permitted area. When the location corresponds to a non-permitted area, a command is generated to automatically place the mechanism in a first state so that the operational function of the shared machine is prevented from being enabled while the shared machine remains in the non-permitted area.

Claim (Index 14):
A method for monitoring location of a shared bicycle upon receiving an indication that the shared bicycle has been rented by a user and controlling the shared bicycle, the shared bicycle comprising a mechanism that allows for an operational function of the shared bicycle to be controlled, the method comprising:\n generating, via a positioning system, location information that indicates a location of the shared bicycle, wherein the location information comprises coordinates of the shared bicycle; processing the location information that indicates the location of the shared bicycle, at a server system, to determine, based on map data from a map service and the coordinates of the shared bicycle, whether the coordinates of the shared bicycle correspond to a non-permitted area; generating a command at the server system, when the location corresponds to a non-permitted area, configured to automatically cause the mechanism to enter in a first state that when entered prevents the operational function of the shared machine bicycle from being enabled while the shared machine bicycle remains in the non-permitted area; and communicating, from the server system when the coordinates of the bicycle are determined to correspond to one of the non-permitted areas, a message to a user device associated with the shared bicycle, wherein the message indicates that continued presence of the shared bicycle in the non-permitted area will result in a cost to the user, wherein the cost to the user includes a monetary penalty.
