Publication number: 20240144299Abstract: Real-time busyness information is for a public place is computed in a privacy-sensitive way, and provided for display in relation to historical busyness information. An aggregate amount of real-time location information available for a particular public place is measured (410), and used to determine (420) whether the public place is privacy-qualified. If the public place is privacy-qualified, real-time busyness information is computed (440) for the public place based on the real-time location information. Further, it is determined (450) whether the computed real-time busyness information is accuracy-qualified, based on a comparison of the real-time busyness information to historical busyness information. If both qualifications are met, the real-time busyness information is output (470) for display or to another application.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Frank Russo, Luuk Van Dijk, Paul Donnelly, Quang Duong, James Aspinall, Finnegan Southey, Steve Chien
