  • Publication number: 20240378371
    Abstract: The subject technology provides a framework for generating personalized and relevant content suggestions for a user of an electronic device. The system collects data from various sources, including location, motion sensors, routine places, contacts, calls, and proximity to people and devices. The collected data is analyzed using inference technology to identify patterns and anomalies. The system can detect routine activities and identify anomalies based on the duration and frequency of activities, social interactions, and changes in user behavior. The system includes modules for grouping related activities and summarizing individual events and coarse-grained activities. The system also includes a ranking algorithm that generates recommendations based on various factors such as recency, distinctiveness, media richness, and user engagement. The system further includes a method of adjusting recommendation ranking based on prior analytics and user preferences.

  • Patent number: 11961332
    Abstract: One or more electronic device may use motion and/or activity sensors to estimate a user's 6 minute walking distance. In particular, because users typically walk at less than their maximum output and in imperfect conditions, control circuitry within the device(s) may rely on walks of shorter distances to estimate the 6 minute walking distance. For example, the control circuitry may gather activity information for the user, such as heart rate, calories burned, and step count, and analyze a distance component and a speed component for periods in which the user has walked. Individual 6 minute walk distance estimates may be generated based on each of the activity information, distance component, and speed component. The distance and speed estimates may be corrected for walking behaviors that deviate from an ideal testing environment, and may then be fused with the activity estimate to generate a final 6 minute walk distance estimate.
