    Method and system to provide taxi services, based on user and vehicle location. Object of the invention
    The invention relates to a method and a system so that the user can locate the nearest taxis in real time and can communicate with the driver of any of them at that time, making a phone call, sending a message or by any other method where the taxi driver's telephone intervenes to hire their services. Background of the invention
    Since the origin of the service, the way to hire a taxi has always been to raise the hand by the user to stop the vehicle, as both he and the taxi driver can see each other directly. This simple system is still in force today. However, this traditional system cannot be practiced when the user does not have any free taxi in sight.
    In order to avoid this inconvenience of the field of vision, and to be able to hire the taxi service in these cases, the current methods always involve the intervention of a communications center (call-center) in which a third person receives the request by telephone, performs a telephone or radio call to contact one of the taxi drivers attached to your organization (which is not always necessarily the nearest taxi to the applicant) and, finally, send the taxi to the address indicated by the user; therefore, it is an expensive system, with a lot of time lost and that employs intermediaries who do not always understand the indications well.
    The methods currently in place to avoid the inconvenience of the field of vision make it necessary to communicate with a call-center that many online operators need to have. Other methods also allow you to request a taxi through a
    web page, but always telling the system what the customer needs, and
    Waiting for the system to send you the taxi.
    The disadvantages of the current methods are, therefore, several:
    The user has to register in the system to request a taxi, so the service cannot be anonymous.
    If the user is not registered in the call-center system, he cannot request a taxi in an emergency (or at any time). This means that if the user has an urgent need for the service, the current automated systems do not serve him with the appropriate speed.
    Current systems do not allow the user to speak directly with the taxi driver, and if they allow it, it would be on a second call.
    The user cannot know if the taxi driver who has assigned the call-center is really the closest to which he could have had access.
    The call-centers cannot offer their services in any city in the world and, since these current systems are centralized, they force the user to interact with the system, so they will always be limited by the geographical area, since if the client and the system (be it call-center or automated server) they have to establish a communication in the taxi request, and they are remote by thousands of kilometers, the phone calls would be international. Description of the invention
    The main feature of this system, and its main novelty and improvement with respect to those existing in the market, is that it offers the user, simultaneously, the position of the free taxis in their surroundings and the taxi driver's telephone number so that any user can You can make a call and talk to him directly so he can pick you up.
    The user can see on the screen of his smartphone the phone number of the taxi drivers closest to his environment that are free at that time. In this way, the user can call any of these taxi drivers and get their confirmation response and estimated time, directly, without going through any intermediary, and without having to depend on the decision of any operator to select a taxi driver or another for their service.
    This system has the advantage that no operators are needed, since there is no one who should make the decision to select the taxi, as the user selects it. This implies that the expenses are negligible, and that taxi drivers who associate with this service can enjoy it for much less money than the current services that have higher expenses.
    Since the only phone calls made are those made by users to taxi drivers, this service is worldwide, and no service distribution center is needed. Any taxi driver from anywhere in the world can sign up for the service, pay the fee through a bank card, and start working immediately.
    Thus, the method of providing taxi services, based on user and vehicle location, comprises the following steps:
    Connecting the user to a publicly accessible web page, through which he automatically sends a search profile of the geographical location of that particular user, obtained from his own mobile device, or manually selected by the user himself in a map; for that page to mark and select on a map the area in which the user is located and represent on that map the location of the free taxis present therein at that moment.
    - Obtain information on the different free taxis in the area, at least relative to their availability and the mobile phone number of their respective drivers.
    Make a communication with the taxi driver, appropriate to establish a service request and, where appropriate, provide the taxi driver with the coordinates in which said user is at that moment, allowing him to pick it up at his location.
    The system requires the following devices:
    a) The taxi driver must have a tracking device, an Internet connection and a telephone connection. A smartphone meets all system requirements.
    b) The user needs to have a means of internet connection to consult the web page that shows the taxis that circulate in an area, and a telephone connection to establish communication with the selected taxi driver. A smartphone also meets the requirements demanded by the system to support the user.
    c) The taxi driver, previously, has had to register in the universal contracting service through a website, and has had to report his telephone number, in addition to other data, which are stored in a database data installed on the web server itself that supports that page.
    d) The user does not have to register anywhere, and can remain totally anonymous.
    The advantages of this system are the following:
    Information to the user of the free taxis in their environment, whatever it may be.
    to. Allows real-time decision making.
    b. Universal service (the user obtains the same service worldwide).
    - Faster in obtaining the taxi.
    to. The nearest is hired.
    - Cheaper.
    to. Without intermediaries
    b. Local and direct call.
    This system is universal. It is not restricted to an area, since by not using a call-center any taxi driver can register from anywhere in the world and, any user, anywhere in the world, will be able to see on their mobile phone the closest taxis closest to their location and communicate with them. Description of the figures
    To complement the description that is being made, and in order to facilitate the understanding of the characteristics of the invention, the present descriptive report of a set of drawings is attached in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented :
    Figure 1 shows a scheme of the operation of the system of the invention. Preferred Embodiment of the Invention
    The system for providing taxi services, based on the location of the user and the vehicle, as shown in the attached scheme, comprises the following units or devices:
    - A user terminal (User1), capable of connecting via the Internet with a public access web page, through which it sends a search profile of its geographical location at that moment, obtained from the user's own terminal, or manually selected by the user on a map. This user terminal and its communication medium consisting, preferably, of a smartphone, or smartphone with internet connection capability and built-in GPS.
    A web server (Web Server), provided with an application that allows the geolocation of the various mobile devices corresponding to the taxis assigned in the service (Taxi 1, Taxi2, ...) and its graphic representation on a map, available to any user who accesses the existing web page, on said server; as well as a database (B.O.) that includes, at least, the means of communication with each of the taxis registered in it and, therefore, ascribed to the service.
    A GPS terminal placed in each taxi attached to this service; and a means of communication with the taxi driver, preferably consisting of a smartphone that integrates both communication systems. It is also provided that the taxi driver's terminal incorporates a suitable application to detect and report if the taxi is free or busy, operated manually or through the vehicle's meter.
    A user communication medium (User1), suitable for establishing a possible service request to the selected taxi driver; and, where appropriate, able to provide the driver with the coordinates that allow the location of said user at that time, allowing him to pick it up at his location.
    The database (B.O.) mounted on the web server itself, or on another server, includes the information that the taxi driver has provided when registering in the system.
    When the user wants to request a taxi, they just have to access the web page in question and they will see the taxis closest to their position automatically if they have GPS, otherwise they must select the area where they are currently located on the map . In any case, you can see the free taxis that have been registered in the system and that, at that time, circulate in the area where you are.
    6
    By clicking on the one you consider most appropriate, you can see your phone number and make a call directly to the driver, or send him a message, asking him to pick it up.
