A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11915250B2) outlines a method for authenticating rides using historical location and telecom data. The method involves retrieving historical data of a geographical region, generating a cellular network data corpus, and receiving real-time location and telecom data from a driver's device. By comparing this data with the cellular network data corpus, the application server can determine the authenticity of the ride. The system also includes checks for missing data, changes in cell tower hashes, and distances traveled without changes in cell towers to further verify the ride's authenticity.

Furthermore, the patent also describes an application server designed to execute the authentication method. The server retrieves historical data, generates a cellular network data corpus, and processes real-time location and telecom data to detect ride authenticity. It includes features such as determining missing data counts, monitoring changes in cell tower hashes, and calculating distances traveled to ensure the ride's legitimacy. By utilizing geohashes and cell tower hashes, the system aims to provide a robust mechanism for verifying the authenticity of rides, enhancing security and trust in ride-sharing services.
