Patent number: 11265678Abstract: Receiving point of interest zones and alerts on user devices comprises communicating, by a user computing device to a remote computing device, a request for point of interest data corresponding to points of interest within a proximity of the user device; presenting the received point of interest data; identifying a particular point of interest; and outputting an alert regarding the particular point of interest. Receiving point of interest zones on user devices comprises communicating a request for point of interest data; receiving the point of interest data from the remote network device wherein a size of the point of interest zone is determined based on a density of points of interest in the proximity of the user, and wherein the shape of the point of interest zone is expanded in a direction of travel and contracted in the opposite direction; and presenting the received point of interest data.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2018Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Debra Lin Repenning, Ray Xiaohang Wang, Yakov Okshtein, Farhan Shamsi, David Singleton, Lixin Zhang, Alan Newberger, Chandrasekhar Thota, Douglas Alexander Gresham, Nicholas Fey, Marcus Alexander Foster, Petra Cross, Andres Morales

Patent number: 9854160Abstract: Implementations of the disclosed technology include techniques for autonomously collecting image data, and generating photo summaries based thereon. In some implementations, a plurality of images may be autonomously sampled from an available stream of image data. For example, a camera application of a smartphone or other mobile computing device may present a live preview based on a stream of data from an image capture device. The live stream of image capture data may be sampled and the most interesting photos preserved for further filtering and presentation. The preserved photos may be further winnowed as a photo session continues and an image object generated summarizing the remaining photos. Accordingly, image capture data may be autonomously collected, filtered, and formatted to enable a photographer to see what moments they missed manually capturing during a photo session.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2016Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Rodrigo Lima Carceroni, Marius Renn, Alan Newberger, Sascha Häberling, Jacob Mintz, Andrew Huibers

Publication number: 20170365083Abstract: Locations and presentation orders of objects of interest (e.g., speech bubbles) in digital graphic novel content are identified such that expanded versions of the objects of interest can be presented to a reader. Specifically, digital graphic novel content is received and locations of interest regions (e.g., rectangular text regions of speech bubbles) in the content are identified by applying a machine-learned model to the content. Locations and presentation orders of objects of interest in the digital graphic novel content are identified based on the identified locations of the interest regions. The digital graphic novel content and presentation metadata including the locations and presentation orders of the objects of interest are provided to a reading device such that expanded versions of the objects of interest are presented to the user in accordance with the presentation metadata.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2016Publication date: December 21, 2017Inventors: Greg Hartrell, Garth Conboy, Brady Duga, Xinxing Gu, Adeline Beavers, Debajit Ghosh, John Rivlin, Alan Newberger, Tae Wan An, Jacob Moon, Christopher Salvarani, Karl Blass

Publication number: 20060271887Abstract: Techniques are presented to semantically zoom information to fit within a bounded display space. A bounded display space optionally constrained by size or shape is determined. Semantically coherent portions of information to be displayed within the bounded space are determined. Transformation rules are applied to the portion of the information to be displayed to produce a plurality of different length representations. A store of semantic zoom level information associates combinations of the different length portion representations. A desired number of information elements to be displayed within the bounded display space is determined. Iterations over the store of semantic zoom information determine combinations of different length representations that fit within the bounded display space.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2005Publication date: November 30, 2006Inventors: Eric Bier, Alan Newberger
