Patent number: 10088598Abstract: Methods for compiling, generating, and using a run weather index and a personalized run weather index which represent the cumulative and weighted effects of weather and environmental conditions on outdoor running for different distance categories. The run weather index and personalized run weather index represent relative environmental and meteorological conditions as they affect run performance. Targeted messages associated with a run weather index may also be delivered based on current and/or forecasted run weather indexes or personalized run weather indexes.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2014Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: TWC Patent Trust LLTInventors: Christopher Paul Huff, Robert John Hedin, Curtis Brian Halbrook, Joseph Paul Koval

Patent number: 10026222Abstract: Systems and methods for creating high-resolution virtual-camera traffic visualizations. The visualizations appear as if a camera is present along a roadway at a location of interest and realistically depicts traffic flow at a particular time. Thus, the visualizations are able to provide viewers a realistic view of what traffic conditions are like at the location of interest. While various descriptions will provided with regard to traffic flow, the principles described herein may be used to create visualizations of other “flows,” such as in-flight aircraft, ground control systems at airports, etc.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2016Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: TWC PATENT TRUST LLTInventors: Shane Morrison, Bradford Pechacek, Serhiy Likhanov

Patent number: 9846771Abstract: An API gateway designed to process a high volume of API requests for data and services where relatively large payloads are returned to the requester. The API gateway includes an “on-line” component that, for each API request, examines information in the request to increment an API usage count by API ID and product key. The usage information is periodically pushed to an outbound message queue, where it is later populated in a database. An “off-line” component determines if a customer has exceeded its predetermined quota based on the information in the database. This determination is pushed to another message queue that is periodically read by the on-line component to update the in-memory API ID, product key and API validity flag values. As such the on-line component is able to service a high volume of API requests for data with a low latency.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2015Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: TWC PATENT TRUST LLTInventor: Sathish Kumar Gaddipati

Patent number: 9680955Abstract: Systems and methods that utilize local storage associated with web browsers to store image data as an alphanumeric string. An expiration date may be associated with the image data such that it expires either after predetermined period of time or at a certain date. By storing image data in local storage, as a user navigates to a website, images are loaded from local storage and displayed in the web browser rather than fetching the image data from a remote source.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: TWC Patent Trust LLTInventor: Kyle Adam Kinnaman

Patent number: 9680943Abstract: Methods and systems for transmitting content to a device are described herein. Methods include receiving location information relating to a device that is usable to identify an approximate location of the device; comparing the approximate location of the device with a location of a venue; and transmitting content to the device if the approximate location of the device is within a pre-determined range of the location of the venue for a predetermined range of time. The user can receive the content without the need for the user to be aware of and seek out that content. The transmission of content to the device may depend not only on the user's location, but also on the amount of time the user is at the location. Content may be selected based upon whether the approximate location of the device is within pre-determined ranges of the location of the venue.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2016Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: TWC Patent Trust LLTInventor: Stephen D.

Patent number: 9378515Abstract: Methods and systems for transmitting content to a device. In some embodiments, methods include receiving location information relating to a device, the location information usable to identify an approximate location of the device; comparing the approximate location of the device with a location of a venue, wherein the venue is associated with at least one feature; and transmitting content to the device if the approximate location of the device is within a pre-determined range of the location of the venue, wherein at least a portion of the content relates to the at least one feature. In certain embodiments, the user receives the content without the need for the user to be aware of and seek out that content. In certain embodiments, the content may have a relationship to the particular venue, or in other words, the content may be applied for use at that venue. In certain embodiments the transmission of content to the device depends not only on the user's location, but also on the particular time of transmission.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2009Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: TWC Patent Trust LLTInventor: Stephen D.
