Publication number: 20240102818Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can proactively determine a destination and request traffic information for routes from a starting location to the destination. In some implementations, a computing device can identify some routes between a starting location and a destination as non-recommended routes and recommend other routes. In some implementations, a computing device can rank routes between a starting location and a destination based on automatically-determined user interest. In some implementations, a computing device can determine a user is familiar with a route and adjust the information presented to the user about the route accordingly.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Patrick J. Coleman, Brian J. Andrich, Daniel R. Delling, Dennis Schieferdecker, Ethan T. Bold, Hengbin Luo, Michael Wegner, Rami Khawandi, Lili Cao, Hyo Jeong Shin, Richard B. Warren, Ronald K. Huang

Publication number: 20240094017Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device displays suggested routes based on the characteristics of respective vehicles. In some embodiments, an electronic device receives data for respective vehicles from a source external to the electronic device. In some embodiments, an electronic device anonymizes a vehicle identifier and determines customized suggested routes using the anonymized vehicle identifier. In some embodiments, Starting Charge Maps and/or Buffer Maps are generated and/or utilized for route generation or suggestion.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Moritz BAUM, Dennis SCHIEFERDECKER, Daniel R. DELLING, Payas RAJAN, Tobias ZUENDORF, Christian J. WEST, Michael T. WEGNER

Publication number: 20220214188Abstract: In some implementations, a route between a starting point and a destination point may be encoded in a map-independent way. A route is an ordered list of segments that connect the starting point to the destination point. By being map-independent, the route can be encoded on one map version, such as at a server device, and later decoded on a different map version, such as on a user device. In an embodiment, the user device may decode the route using the same codec library that was used by the server to encode the route. Moreover, in an approach, the user device may select a subset of support points along the route to provide to the server which are sufficient to describe the route in order to conserve resources. Using these techniques, a route can be encoded in a very space efficient way with a decoding error rate close to 0%.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2021Publication date: July 7, 2022Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michael T.

Patent number: 11162805Abstract: A route-biased search in a mobile navigation system locates points of interest (POI) on or convenient to a mobile user's current travel. The route-biased search operates in two modes, navigation and non-navigation. The navigation mode identifies the most convenient POIs that honor the mobile user's route to their destination. The non-navigation mode identifies the most convenient POIs that are located ahead of the user based on the user's inferred direction of travel. The route-biased search determines the best possible routes to the identified POIs taking into account the impact of the detour costs of traveling to the POI along with other ranking factors.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Philomena F. Lobo, Saurabh V. Pendse, Dennis Schieferdecker, Daniel R. Delling
