  • Patent number: 11907864
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for classifying a trip. Embodiments include receiving, from a plurality of users, a plurality of historical trip records. Each of the plurality of historical trip records may comprise one or more historical trip attributes and historical classification information. Embodiments include training a predictive model, using the plurality of historical trip records, to classify trips based on trip records. Training the predictive model may comprise determining a plurality of hot spots based on the historical trip records, each of the plurality of hot spots comprising a region encompassing one or more locations, and associating, in the predictive model, the plurality of hot spots with historical classification information. Embodiments include receiving, from a user, a new trip record comprising a plurality of trip attributes related to a trip and using the predictive model to predict a classification for the trip based on the trip record.

  • Patent number: 11893228
    Abstract: While concurrently displaying representations of a plurality of recently used applications, including a first application representation that corresponds to a first application and a second application representation that corresponds to a second application, at least a first portion of a first user input, including first movement of an input object, is detected. If the first movement of the input object includes movement in a first direction that meets first criteria, the representations of the plurality of recently used applications cease to be displayed and an application launching user interface is displayed. If the first movement of the input object includes movement in a second direction that meets second criteria, the representations of the plurality of recently used applications cease to be displayed and a first user interface of the first application is displayed in an enhanced-reachability mode and shifted in a predefined direction at least partially off of the display.

  • Patent number: 11868603
    Abstract: A management system of a computing device provides enhanced functionality via selectable icons (e.g., tiles), presented on a home screen, that may be overlaid to perform overlay operations such as data transfer, payment, and/or granting of certain authorizations or permissions. Users are able to more readily perform cross-application and/or cross-entity operations via, for example, the operating system of a computing device without needing to engage with as many entities (or applications thereof). Tile overlay operations may be managed and reviewed via an application.

  • Patent number: 11861299
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for populating application-specific information using overlay applications. For example, in order to relieve some of the difficulties users face in inputting information into mobile devices which may have smaller screen sizes and may not feature dedicated input mechanisms, the methods and systems described herein automatically populate application-specific information. The methods and systems do this using an application that presents an application overlay feature. That is, the application is accessible while a user is using another application (e.g., on the mobile device) and/or while a user is scrolling through other applications.

  • Patent number: 11861156
    Abstract: An interface display method is disclosed. The method includes: An electronic device displays a first page of a first application in full screen. The electronic device receives a first operation on the first page. In response to the first operation, the electronic device displays the first page in a window form in a first area of a display, displays a second page of a second application in a window form in a second area of the display, and displays a first control in a third area of the display, where the first control is associated with a third page of the first application. When the electronic device receives a fourth operation on the first control, the electronic device displays the third page in full screen in response to the fourth operation. In this way, the third page can be quickly entered from the first page, and access efficiency is improved.

  • Patent number: 11843655
    Abstract: Automatically determining, with reduced (or no) input from the users of a group, a set of activity instances that the group of users has interest in performing. A representation of the set of activity instances can be rendered for consideration by a group, and the set of activity instances can be determined even when only limited criteria are specified. Optionally, in response to affirmative user interface input(s) directed to a rendered representation of the set of activity instances, one or more of the activity instances of the set can be confirmed through limited input(s) of one or more users of the group. Further, the automatic determination of the set of activity instances is optionally performed using one or more trained machine learning models that are trained to optimize a likelihood that the users of the group will find the set satisfactory.

  • Patent number: 11829682
    Abstract: Example techniques may involve tuning a music discovery dial. An implementation may include displaying, on the touch-sensitive circular graphical display, a circular graphical user interface including multiple wedge-shaped selectable regions arranged around the circumference of the circular graphical user interface, each wedge-shaped selectable region corresponding to a respective streaming audio channel. The implementation may include detecting a touch input in a circular motion to the touch-sensitive circular graphical display and causing a paired playback device to play back an audio content snippet corresponding to each selectable regions that the touch input enters. The implementation may further include switching the playback device from playing back a given pre-cached audio content snippet to playing back the full audio track from one or more servers of a streaming audio service.

  • Patent number: 11809686
    Abstract: User interfaces may enable users to initiate voice-communications with voice-controlled devices via a Wi-Fi network or other network via an Internet Protocol (IP) address. The user interfaces may include controls to enable users to initiate voice communications, such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls, with devices that do not have connectivity with traditional mobile telephone networks, such as traditional circuit transmissions of a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). For example, the user interface may enable initiating a voice communication with a voice-controlled device that includes network connectivity via a home Wi-Fi network. The user interfaces may indicate availability of devices and/or contacts for voice communications and/or recent activity of devices or contact.
