  • Publication number: 20240118435
    Abstract: A post-processed GNSS solution from raw GNSS data acquired from a vehicle and optionally other sources is dynamically calculated at the epoch level without using a Kalman filter. Instead, a plurality of GNSS processing methods is applied to each epoch in either the forward or backward direction and the most accurate solution for each epoch of the forward generated solution and backward generated solution is combined. The combined post-processed GNSS solution is determined based on which of the GNSS processing methods were used to generate an epoch of the forward solution and a corresponding epoch of the backward solution.

  • Publication number: 20240102818
    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can proactively determine a destination and request traffic information for routes from a starting location to the destination. In some implementations, a computing device can identify some routes between a starting location and a destination as non-recommended routes and recommend other routes. In some implementations, a computing device can rank routes between a starting location and a destination based on automatically-determined user interest. In some implementations, a computing device can determine a user is familiar with a route and adjust the information presented to the user about the route accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20180043263
    Abstract: Designed is a system and method for providing line of sight interaction in an AR environment between users of portable devices with the camera. The system and method uses computer-generated images to represent other system users and real or fictional objects with the precise location in 3 dimensional space. This Digital scene is overlaid onto and combined with the current real world environment as seen on the users' viewfinder. The invention is a novel system and method for allowing users to aim their portable devices and interact or communicate with the CGI images or other users of the same system, creating an augmented reality experience that is enhanced by a line of sight style communication.

  • Patent number: 6644662
    Abstract: A billiard type game system for playing a billiard type game on a game table. The game table has a table top which is defined by rails, consecutively numbered vertical pockets extending through the table top, a corresponding bumper for each pocket, and sets of color coded numbered balls. The pockets are scattered around the table top and are located away from the rails. Each pocket has a bumper positioned adjacent to the pocket, and an indicator also positioned adjacent to each pocket. The indicators serve as starting points from which the balls are hit across the table top towards the next consecutively numbered appropriate pocket. The object of the game is to the sink each of the balls of a player into the appropriate pockets according to a specified order.
