  • Publication number: 20160171101
    Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for extracting location data from a plurality of news items, wherein at least a portion of the location data has a first level of detail that is greater than or equal to a neighborhood, and using the location data to populate a news data store. Additionally, a response to a news query may be generated based on a requested location associated with the news query and the location data in the news data store, wherein the requested location has a second level of detail that is greater than or equal to the first level of detail and the response indicates one or more news items that correspond to the requested location. In one example, a graphical representation of the response is overlaid on one or more of a map corresponding to the requested location or an image of the requested location.

  • Publication number: 20150109099
    Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for determining a first proximity status of a first mobile device with respect to a vehicle, and determining a second proximity status of a second mobile device with respect to the vehicle. Additionally, an accessibility of one or more functions of the vehicle may be configured based at least in part on the first proximity status and the second proximity status. In one example, a policy associated with one or more of the first mobile device and the second mobile device may be identified, wherein the accessibility is configured further based on the policy.

  • Publication number: 20140088856
    Abstract: Methods and systems for a location metadata system are disclosed. A data storage subsystem stores collected data associated with locations and users. A network interface is coupled to the data storage subsystem. The network interface manages communication with devices of users to collect data associated with the locations and users. A data analysis system includes a processor adapted for obtaining the collected data from the data storage subsystem and for analyzing the collected data to create a first location identity associated with interaction of users with a first location.
