Network system for creating and managing a session at a remote computing system

Abstract

A network system for managing an on-demand service can receive, from a user, a service request indicating a destination location. In addition to facilitating available service providers to fulfill the service request, the network system can create and manage a session for the user for an entity identified based on, for example, the destination location. The session for the user can be used to procure items and/or services provided by the entity. The network system can transmit, to terminal computing system(s) associated with the entity, session initiation data that includes user data such as identification information to identify the user. The transmission of the session initiation data can cause the terminal computing system(s) to automatically create the session for the user. In addition, the network system can receive, from the terminal computing system(s), session data upon termination of the session for the user.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A network system comprising:
 one or more processors; and   one or more memory resources storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors of the network system, cause the network system to:
 receive, over a network from a user device of a user, a first set of request data corresponding to a first request for a transport service, the first set of request data indicating a destination location of the transport service; 
 in response to receiving the first set of request data corresponding to the first request for the transport service, identify one or more entities based, at least in part, on the first set of request data; 
 receive, over the network from the user device, a second set of request data corresponding to a request to create a session for recording one or more transactions of the user at a selected entity of the one or more entities; 
 in response to receiving the second set of request data corresponding to the request to create the session, cause a terminal computing system located at the selected entity to create the session for recording one or more transactions of the user at the selected entity; and 
 receive, over the network from the terminal computing system located at the selected entity, a set of session data associated with the session that indicates one or more transactions of the user at the selected entity.
