US Patent:
20230034863, Feb 2, 2023
Filed:
Oct 12, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/964732
Inventors:
- Cupertino CA, US
Christine B. McGavran - Pacifica CA, US
Gregory D. Bolsinga - San Francisco CA, US
Christopher Blumenberg - San Francisco CA, US
Seejo K. Pylappan - Cupertino CA, US
Marcel Van Os - Santa Cruz CA, US
Assignee:
Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
G01C 21/00
G01C 21/34
G06N 20/00
G01C 21/36
G06N 5/04
Abstract:
Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel prediction engine that (1) can formulate predictions about current or future destinations and/or routes to such destinations for a user, and (2) can relay information to the user about these predictions. In some embodiments, this engine includes a machine-learning engine that facilitates the formulation of predicted future destinations and/or future routes to destinations based on stored, user-specific data. The user-specific data is different in different embodiments. In some embodiments, the stored, user-specific data includes data about any combination of the following: (1) previous destinations traveled to by the user, (2) previous routes taken by the user, (3) locations of calendared events in the user’s calendar, (4) locations of events for which the user has electronic tickets, and (5) addresses parsed from recent e-mails and/or messages sent to the user. In some embodiments, the prediction engine only relies on user-specific data stored on the device on which this engine executes. Alternatively, in other embodiments, it relies only on user-specific data stored outside of the device by external devices/servers. In still other embodiments, the prediction engine relies on user-specific data stored both by the device and by other devices/servers.

Abstract:
Provided are methods, systems, devices, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media for providing data including vehicle map service data. The disclosed technology can perform operations including receiving vehicle map service data from a plurality of service systems that include a plurality of client systems associated with a vehicle. The vehicle map service data can include information associated with a geographic area. A local map of the geographic area within a predetermined distance of the vehicle can be generated based on the vehicle map service data. Portions of the local map to which each client system is subscribed can be determined for each client system of the plurality of client systems. Additionally, the portions of the local map to which each client system is subscribed can be sent to a respective client system of the plurality of client systems.

US Patent:
20170023375, Jan 26, 2017
Filed:
Oct 5, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/286347
Inventors:
- Cupertino CA, US
Cédric Bray - Sunnyvale CA, US
Yaohua Hu - Mountain View CA, US
Elisabeth Lindkvist - Sunnyvale CA, US
Adrian Lindberg - Santa Clara CA, US
Christine B. McGavran - Pacifica CA, US
Billy P. Chen - Santa Clara CA, US
International Classification:
G01C 21/36
Abstract:
For a device that runs a mapping application, a method for providing maneuver indicators along a route of a map. The maneuver indicators are arrows that identify the direction and orientation of a maneuver. A maneuver arrow may be selected and displayed differently from unselected maneuver arrows. Maneuver arrows may be selected automatically based on a user's current location. The mapping application transitions between maneuver arrows and provides an animation for the transition. Complex maneuvers may be indicated by multiple arrows, providing a more detailed guidance for a user of the mapping application.

Travel Time Estimation And Alerting

View page
US Patent:
20150346983, Dec 3, 2015
Filed:
May 30, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/292327
Inventors:
- Cupertino CA, US
Christine B. McGAVRAN - Pacifica CA, US
Sean L. SEGUIN - San Jose CA, US
Edward D. VOAS - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
G06F 3/0484
Abstract:
This application relates to travel time estimation. The travel time estimation can be performed by a travel time service of a computing device, and based on a calendar entry stored in the computing device. The travel time service can calculate the travel time estimation by using a location associated with a calendar entry and a location of the user prior to a time associated with the calendar entry. The travel time service can use the travel time estimation to alert the user of when to leave for the calendar event and when the user is going to be late for the event. Additionally, when the user is predicted to be late for the calendar event, the user can be prompted to notify the invitees of the calendar event that the user will be late.

Map Application With Improved Navigation Tools

View page
US Patent:
20150247736, Sep 3, 2015
Filed:
Apr 16, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/254257
Inventors:
- Cupertino CA, US
Joshua C. Weinberg - San Jose CA, US
Jorge Fino - San Jose CA, US
Mark B. Larus - San Francisco CA, US
Christine B. McGavran - Pacifica CA, US
Wesley Yue - Sunnyvale CA, US
International Classification:
G01C 21/36
Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a mapping application with novel navigation and/or search tools. In some embodiments, the mapping application formulates predictions about future destinations of a device that executes the mapping application, and provides dynamic notifications regarding these predicted destinations. For instance, when a particular destination is a likely destination (e.g., most likely destination) of the device, the mapping application in some embodiments presents a notification regarding the particular destination (e.g., plays an animation that presents the notification). This notification in some embodiments provides some information about (1) the predicted destination (e.g., a name and/or address for the predicted destination) and (2) a route to this predicted destination (e.g., an estimated time of arrival, distance, and/or amount of ETD for the predicted destination). In some embodiments, the notification is a dynamic not only because it is presented dynamically as the device travels, but also because the information that the notification displays about the destination and/or route to the destination is dynamically updated by the mapping application as the device travels.
