  • Publication number: 20240102818
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240089841
    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide apparatuses and techniques for providing a notification indicating guidance to reaching cellular connectivity in the event of a loss of cellular connectivity and for guiding a user of a user equipment to a location with cellular connectivity. The notification may be generated based on expiration of a timer, a screen unlock operation, or an application connection failure. The notification may indicate how long ago the cellular connectivity loss occurred and how far away a nearest location is with a cellular connectivity was. The user equipment may display a map interface based on user input selecting the notification. The map interface may show a map of the current location of the user equipment, a nearest location with cellular connectivity to the user equipment, and a path, which includes a tracked path of user equipment and a proposed path to the nearest location with cellular connectivity.

  • Publication number: 20230358847
    Abstract: Methods, non-transitory machine-readable mediums, and system to provide historical positioning information are described. In an embodiment, a device detects one or more conditions in user contextual data that trigger collection of a set of historical positions for a lookback window, the device receives at least one historical position from the set of historical positions for the lookback window, the device classifies the at least one historical position based on one or more features as a candidate location for a backtrack route, and the device determines to provide the at least one historical position as part of the lookback window based on the classification.

  • Publication number: 20230362582
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a system, a non-transitory machine-readable medium, and methods to provide location services. In an embodiment, a method provides receiving at least one indication that an electronic device is in transit to at least one defined location, establishing a first fence boundary for the at least one defined location, receiving an indication that the electronic device has crossed the first fence boundary and is in transit to a defined location, and establishing a second fence for the defined location, where the second fence provides a finer granularity fence for the defined location than the first fence.

  • Patent number: 11470443
    Abstract: In an example method, a computer system receives a query from a mobile device, including an indication of a location of the mobile device, and an environmental measurement obtained by the mobile device at the location. A set of candidate points of interest in geographical proximity to the location is determined. For each of one or more candidate points of interest of the set, a location fingerprint of the candidate point of interest and contextual data regarding the candidate point of interest are obtained. A similarity between the environmental measurement and each location fingerprint is determined. A particular candidate point of interest is selected from among the set based on the similarity, and based on an assessment of the contextual data. A label of the selected point of interest is associated with the location and transmitted to the mobile device.
