Patent number: 10962373Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for generating and providing assessments of transit network characteristics for specified locations. The system receives a specified location, generates an assessment of the received location, and provides a generated visual representation of the received location to a client system. Determining a location assessment may be based on transit network information related to the distance between a specified location and the nearest point of access/egress on transit network routes that are accessible from the specified location, the frequency at which the transit network routes stop at the point of access/egress on the transit network routes that are accessible from the indicated location, or the transportation mode used for at least one of the transit network routes that are accessible from the specified location. The initial location assessment may be updated periodically, in response to changes in system status, or on demand by user request.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2017Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Walk Score Management, LLCInventors: Matthew Lerner, Jesse G.

Patent number: 8892455Abstract: Methods and systems for providing location assessments are provided. Example embodiments provide a Location Assessment Provider System, which generates and provides assessments of various characteristics of specified locations. In one embodiment, the Location Assessment Provider System receives a specified location, determines a location assessment for the specified location, generates a visual representation of the determined location assessment, and provides the generated visual representation to a client system. Determining a location assessment may be based on geographic-related information about, or associated with, the specified location, such as the presence and location of geographic-related features associated with the specified location. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and it is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2008Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Walk Score Management, LLCInventors: Matthew R. Lerner, Jesse G. Kocher, Michael C. Mathieu

Patent number: 7111234Abstract: A method for editing Web-based documents and a software package for implementing the method is provided. The method can include receiving from a user an indication of a selected portion of a Web-based document to be edited and of a desired editing function to be performed on the selected portion and inserting immediately prior to the selected portion a first editing tag corresponding to the desired editing function. Also, the method may include detecting object tag elements within the selected portion, inserting immediately prior to each object tag element within the selected portion a second editing tag corresponding to the desired editing function and inserting the second tag at the end of the selected portion, and inserting immediately after each object tag element within the selected portion the first editing tag, wherein the first and second editing tags are distinguishable from the object tag elements.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2001Date of Patent: September 19, 2006Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David K. Peck, Eliot S. Greenfield, Jesse G. Kocher, Matthew R. Lerner, Michael S. Morearty
