    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request from a user computing device associated with a user for one or more items from an in-vehicle vending apparatus during a ride. The method also includes sending information associated with the user to start a vending session using the in-vehicle vending apparatus. The method also includes receiving an indication that the user associated with the user computer device accessed the in-vehicle vending apparatus. The method also includes determining that the user associated with the user computing device is the only user associated with the ride, determining that the user associated with the user computing device is one of a plurality of users associated with the ride, or determining that the user associated with the user computing device is associated with the in-vehicle vending apparatus.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and client devices that automatically initiate a wireless network connection (e.g., a pairing) with an auxiliary computing device based on recurring detection of a wireless broadcast signal from the auxiliary computing device. Upon detecting a wireless broadcast signal for an auxiliary computing device satisfying a signal-strength threshold at multiple times or locations, for example, the disclosed client devices can automatically initiate a wireless network connection (e.g., a pairing) with the auxiliary computing device. By automatically initiating a wireless connection with such an auxiliary computing device, the disclosed client devices obviate inefficient user interactions conventional computing devices use to establish a pairing, facilitate pairings with auxiliary computing devices for unsavvy technology users, and avoid unsecure wireless connections that may compromise data on the disclosed provider client devices.
