Patent number: 10509645Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that may be utilized to detect occurrence of one or more specified circumstances. A determination may be made as to whether one or more specified circumstances are detected such as responsive to one or more user actions or an occurrence of an event unrelated to a user. One or more binary digital signals may be generated to store a detection of one or more specified user circumstances in a log or memory at least partially in response to detection of the one or more specified circumstances.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2016Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: FACTUAL INC.Inventors: Bradley Geilfuss, Chris Bleakley, Arthur Wolf, Evan Gamble, Wesley Henderson, Chen Guo, Yajia Yang, Boris Shimanovsky

Patent number: 10459896Abstract: The disclosed apparatus, systems, and methods relate to a location query mechanism that can efficiently determine whether a target entity is located within a region of interest (ROI). At a high level, the location query mechanism can be configured to represent a ROI using one or more polygons. The location query mechanism can, in turn, divide (e.g., tessellate) the one or more polygons into sub-polygons. Subsequently, the location query mechanism can use the sub-polygons to build an index system that can efficiently determine whether a particular location is within any of the sub-polygons. Therefore, when a computing device queries whether a particular location is within the region of interest, the location query mechanism can use the index system to determine whether the particular location is within any of the sub-polygons.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2019Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: FACTUAL INC.Inventors: Ahad Rana, Boris Shimanovsky

Publication number: 20190266133Abstract: The present disclosure relates to apparatus, systems, and methods for analyzing characteristics of entities of interest. In particular, the present disclosure provides a mechanism for analyzing information about entities of interest and for rating or scoring the entities of interest based on the analyzed information. The rating or the score of an entity of interest can sometimes be referred to as a placerank value of an entity of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2019Publication date: August 29, 2019Inventors: Bill Michels, Tyler Bell, Tim Chklovski, Manuel Lagang, Boris Shimanovsky

Publication number: 20190213173Abstract: The present disclosure relates to apparatus, systems, and methods for providing a location information analytics mechanism. The location information analytics mechanism is configured to analyze location information to extract contextual information (e.g., profile) about a mobile device or a user of a mobile device, collectively referred to as a target entity. The location information analytics mechanism can include analyzing location data points associated with a target entity to determine features associated with the target entity, and using the features to predict attributes associated with the target entity. The set of predicted attributes can form a profile of the target entity.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2019Publication date: July 11, 2019Inventors: Tyler Bell, Bill Michels, Spencer Tipping, Tom White, Boris Shimanovsky

Publication number: 20160232192Abstract: A traditional data processing system is configured to process input data either in batch or in real-time. On one hand, a batch data processing system is limiting because the batch data processing often cannot take into account any data received during the batch data processing. On the other hand, a real-time data processing system is limiting because the real-time system often cannot scale. The real-time data processing system is often limited to dealing with primitive data types and/or a small amount of data. Therefore, it is desirable to address the limitations of the batch data processing system and the real-time data processing system by combining the benefits of the batch data processing system and the real-time data processing system into a single data processing system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2016Publication date: August 11, 2016Inventors: Boris SHIMANOVSKY, Ahad RANA, Chun KOK
