  • Patent number: 11481100
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a compass user interface with a direction indicator and a bearing indicator. The direction indicator provides an indication of a respective compass direction, wherein the appearance of the direction indicator is determined based on the orientation of the electronic device relative to the respective compass direction. The bearing indicator provides an indication of an offset from the respective compass direction. While displaying the bearing indicator, the electronic device detects rotation of the rotatable input mechanism and, in response, changes the displayed position of the bearing indicator from a first position to a second position by an amount that is determined in accordance with a magnitude of the rotation of the rotatable input mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11481091
    Abstract: A mapping system allows a user to interact with any location on a digital map and present the user with location related information associated with the selected location. The location related information may be in the form or a card, pop-up, image, or other graphic and may be displayed on the map at or near the selected location, around the map, etc. The displayed location related information may include predetermined or pre-stored data about the location or may include location related information collected and generated on the fly in response to the user interaction with the digital map. The displayed location related information may be displayed in the same graphical format on the digital map regardless of whether location related information is predetermined information about the location that already exists or information that is collected and generated on the fly in response to the user interaction.

  • Patent number: 11472291
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for creating and presenting a graphical user interface for display of autonomous vehicle behaviors. The techniques include determining a trajectory of a vehicle operating in a real-world environment. Sensors of the vehicle obtain sensor data representing an object in the real-world environment. A maneuver of the vehicle to avoid a collision with the object is predicted based on the sensor data and the trajectory of the vehicle. It is determined that a passenger comfort level of a passenger riding in the vehicle will decrease based on the maneuver of the vehicle. The passenger comfort level is measured by passenger sensors of the vehicle. A graphical user interface is generated including representations of the vehicle, the object, and a graphic, text, or a symbol alerting the passenger of the predicted maneuver. The graphical user interface is transmitted to a display device of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11422634
    Abstract: An electronic device has an input which, in operation, receives an input stream of accelerometer data samples indicative of acceleration values along at least one axis. The devices includes circuitry, coupled to the input. The circuitry, in operation, executes an automatic-learning algorithm on blocks of samples of the input stream of accelerometer data samples to identify, for each block, a corresponding condition-of-user-movement from among a plurality of determined conditions-of-user-movement. The circuitry generates a plurality of streams of samples based on the input stream of accelerometer data samples, and for each condition of movement identified, selects a corresponding stream of samples of the plurality of streams of samples. The circuitry executes a wrist-tilt gesture detection algorithm using samples of the selected stream of the plurality of streams of samples.

  • Patent number: 11403327
    Abstract: Computerized interactive feature visualization is carried out on a data set—a plurality of insight classes rank a plurality of features of the data set. Via a computerized user interface, user feedback is obtained based on the interactive feature visualization—a user selects and ranks a subset of the features. At least one transformation function is applied to at least one feature of the subset of features selected by the user, to automatically construct, with a computer, at least one additional feature for the data set. The data set with the at least one additional feature is a transformed data set. In some cases, a supervised task is carried out on the final data set; accuracy of a machine learning system implementing the at least one supervised task can be enhanced by the at least one additional feature, and/or a physical system can be controlled based on results of the at least one supervised task.
