Abstract:
A mechanism is provided for detecting and mitigating vehicle location discrepancies. A set of dynamic boundaries are generated around a prescribed pickup location agreed upon with a next renter of a vehicle for a prescribed pickup time. A location of the vehicle is also determined. Based on the location of the vehicle, a determination is made of a boundary in the set of dynamic boundaries with which the vehicle is associated. One state from a set of states is identified based on the location of the vehicle and the identified boundary with which the vehicle is located. Based on the identified state, an associated action is performed.

Claim (Index 16):
An apparatus comprising:\n a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: generate a set of dynamic boundaries around a prescribed pickup location agreed upon with a next renter of a vehicle for a prescribed pickup time, wherein the set of dynamic boundaries around the prescribed pickup location agreed upon with the next renter of the vehicle for the prescribed pickup time is generated by the instructions further causing the processor to; for each buffer time in a set of buffer times (TBn): calculate a set of displacements for each of a set of possible travel directions from the prescribed pickup location; and aggregate the set of displacements for the respective buffer time to form a single boundary around the prescribed pickup location; determine a location of the vehicle; based on the location of the vehicle, determine a boundary in the set dynamic boundaries with which the vehicle is associated; identify one state from a set of states based on the location of the vehicle and the identified boundary with which the vehicle is located, wherein the set of states includes a \u201cSafe\u201d state, a \u201cRecoverable\u201d state, a \u201cNon-recoverable\u201d state, and a \u201cReady\u201d state; and based on the identified state, perform an associated action.
