  • Patent number: 11935060
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods to generate user or user group behavior similarities based on computing distances between individual users or user groups and without using demographic data, e.g., based on anonymized data. The methods include creating a multidimensional vector representation for each user in a group by summarizing user's behaviors across various categories. Based on the created vectors, distance calculation and nearest neighbor search are performed to locate users that are most similar to target users. The resulting distance metrics may be used to rank similarities. Additionally, dimensionality reduction may be performed to further distill the behavior information to make the disclosed methods suitable for a variety of analytics and modeling tasks.

  • Patent number: 11935347
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein disclose methods and systems for community item distribution. In some implementations, the community item distribution system includes a platform for users to post information regarding items they want to share with the community. The community item distribution system can categorize the information and establish donation parameters for the shared items. The donation parameters can include where and when items can be donated or retrieved, what types of items can be donated, and who can request the donated items. In some cases, the community item distribution system can generate a user interface listing the available items that users can request. Upon request of an item, the community item distribution system can schedule a drone to transport the item, in a secured container with ultraviolet lights to disinfect the item, from the storage location to the delivery location.

  • Patent number: 11928964
    Abstract: A parking availability predictor system provides a prediction of parking availability that meets a user's specified needs. When the user submits a query for parking availability, he can include desired parking criteria such as location, handicapped status, and desired time to begin parking. The system consults a parking occupancy model which gathers current and historical information about parking occupancy, including parking durations and durations of vacancies between occupancies. The model processes the gathered information into a statistical predictor of parking occupancy and vacancy. The system uses the predictor to predict when parking that meets the user's needs will become available. That prediction, including user-suitable parking locations along with the expected start of their vacancies, is then sent to the user in answer to his query.
