Patent number: 11876767Abstract: A mobile application for integrating a location sharing event with a messaging platform such as a text messaging or email platform allows users to be prompted about location sharing when at least a part of the message includes location or time information. In one embodiment, the mobile application takes the form of an integrated location sharing application that parses the message to discern the relevant location or time information. The application may also provide a notification of a future event and may optionally generate a location sharing event based on the notification. In another embodiment, the application permits interactive route sharing between at least two computing devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Glympse, Inc.Inventors: Bryan Trussel, Stephen Miller, James Stanton, Jason Keimig, Craig Link

Patent number: 11425532Abstract: Embodiments for establishing configurations for a location sharing session are described. A location sharing session can include a sharing device gathering location data and providing it to a recipient device, e.g. via a server system. Configurations for a sharing session can include, for example: a duration that the sharing device provides the location data or that the sever system permits access to location data by the recipient device; preferences for how to manually or automatically set the duration for the sharing session; options to automatically end the sharing session; etc. A sharing session duration can be automatically set based on, e.g. an estimated time of arrival, a specified mode of transport, etc., and can include a specified amount of buffer time. The automatic share duration can last until a particular event occurs, e.g. the sharing device arriving at a particular location.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Glympse, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Miller, Christopher Park, Stephen Rakonza

Patent number: 9906907Abstract: A system includes a server and a source client executable on a first electronic device in communication with the server. The server is configured to provide to a second electronic device in communication with the server access to location data implementable by a user interface associated with the second electronic device. The location data enables the user interface to display the geographical location of the first electronic device. The access to the location data is accessible to the second electronic device only during a time interval designated by a user of the first electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2015Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: Glympse, Inc.Inventors: Bryan Gardner Trussel, Jeremy Mercer, Stephen Miller
