  • Patent number: 11550858
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and verifying closed places (e.g., claims no longer in business) from trip data are provided. A networked system accesses trip data associated with the POI. The networked system processes the trip data to generate at least two time buckets based on timestamps from the trip data associated with the POI, and calculates trip counts associated with the POI for each of the time buckets. Using a machine learning algorithm and based on the at least two time buckets, the networked system determines that the trip counts show a decline over time that indicates that the POI is likely closed. In response to the determining, the networked system updates a database to indicate the POI is closed.

  • Patent number: 10984060
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improving attribute data for a point of interest (POI) are provided. A networked system accesses trip data associated with the POI. The networked system generates, using a processor-implemented clustering algorithm, a first spatial cluster and a second spatial cluster using coordinates corresponding to the POI indicated in the trip data. A centroid for the first spatial cluster and a centroid for the second spatial cluster are identified by the networked system. The networked system determines that a difference in distance between the centroid for the first spatial cluster and the centroid for the second spatial cluster meets or transgresses a centroid distance threshold. In response to the determining, a database is updated to indicate a new attribute for the POI, the new attribute corresponds to an attribute associated with either the first spatial cluster or the second spatial cluster.

  • Publication number: 20180210892
    Abstract: A network system uses the capabilities of client devices to search for objects in an image within a geographic region. The network system receives a request to search for an object and a geographic region within which to search the object. The network system provides instructions to client devices within the geographic region to search for the object. Upon receiving instructions to search for the object, the client device captures visual data of the area around the client device. The client device analyzes the visual data to detect the object and notifies the network system if the object is detected.
