Patent number: 11681074Abstract: Provided are methods, devices and non-transitory computer readable storage mediums to generate a more accurate weather forecast by utilizing actual observation of a weather event in a particular location and time. For example, the observation data may be received from a user device and contain information indicative of a weather event that the user observed. Alternatively, or additionally, the observation data may be automatically generated by one or more sensors placed in certain locations and transmitted to a central server automatically upon detecting an observation. The observation data may be used to predict a weather forecast of a location that corresponds to, or is otherwise related to the particular location in which the observed event occurred.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2021Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: SKY MOTION RESEARCH, ULCInventor: André Leblanc

Patent number: 10584978Abstract: A system and method for displaying nowcasts along a route on a map. The system receives a map request including a departure location and a destination location from a user, and obtains map data including a route between the destination location and the departure location. A nowcaster is used for outputting nowcasts for a number of key points along the route. The system modifies the map data to include a visual indicator for each nowcast for each key point such that when the modified map data is executed on a display the nowcasts are displayed along the route between the departure location and the destination location.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2019Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: SKY MOTION RESEARCH, ULCInventor: Andre LeBlanc

Patent number: 10564319Abstract: Provided are methods, devices, and non-transitory computer readable storage mediums to generate a weather timeline such as a succession of weather information on a continuous time scale. For example, a timeline may include first weather information associated with a first time in a first territorial location, second weather information associated with a second time, and third weather information associated with a third time. At least one of the first, second and third weather information may comprise a forecasted weather value indicative of a probability of having a specific type of precipitation at a specific intensity. A weather timeline may follow a specific location (e.g. city, town, any region with a definite boundary), a specific weather event (e.g. a specific precipitation type, a specific temperature level, a specific wind intensity), and/or a specific user.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2019Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: SKY MOTION RESEARCH, ULCInventor: Andre Leblanc

Patent number: 10509143Abstract: Provided are methods, devices, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums to generate an itinerary with a weather forecast. The itinerary may comprise a departure location, a destination location and a first time. Based on the itinerary, an intermediary location and an intermediary time associated with the intermediary location may be identified. A weather forecast associated with the identified intermediary location and the intermediary time may be predicted. A weather risk associated with the identified route may be assessed and based on the assessed risk, an alternative route may be additionally identified.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2017Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: SKY MOTION RESEARCH, ULCInventor: Andre Leblanc
