Publication number: 20240056784Abstract: Provided are methods, systems, devices, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media for providing data including vehicle map service data. The disclosed technology can perform operations including accessing vehicle map service data including information associated with a geographic area and sensor observations of a vehicle. The vehicle map service data is based on a vehicle map service protocol specifying layers associated with portions of the vehicle map service data to which each client system is subscribed. Further, the layers to which the client systems are subscribed can be determined and access to the plurality of layers to which each of the vehicle client systems is subscribed can be provided to each of the client systems. Access to the layers can include authorization to send or receive one or more portions of the vehicle map service data associated with a corresponding layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Christine McGavran, Richard William Bukowski, Asaf Rosenfeld

Publication number: 20230132820Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing a stable topological representation of pathway networks as well as features associated with these networks. The disclosure is exemplified using road networks which have applications in mapping, navigation, and autonomous vehicles. Extensions may be learned through practice of the disclosure. Utilizing implementations disclosed herein may provide advantages for data conflation between different mapping systems and map data while improving overall stability by developing a common reference standard that is tied to semantic features rather than abstract geographic representations.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Christine McGavran, Richard William Bukowski, Bryan Klingner, Joakim Kristian Olle Arfvidsson, Andrew Lookingbill

Patent number: 10024682Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for managing navigation alerts. The disclosure generally describes an exemplary technique whereby a first device, such as a smartphone, coordinates the timing or sequence of alerts for a navigation instruction on the first device and on a second device, such as a smartwatch. In some examples, the second device presents an alert to a user indicating an event condition has been met before the first device presents a different alert to the user indicating that the same event condition has been met. The alert presented on the second device and the different alert presented on the first device are spaced apart in time by at least a predetermined delay time period, where the predetermined delay time period is based on the event condition. The alert at the second device allows the user to anticipate the alert at the first device.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2017Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christine McGavran, Joshua Weinberg, Marcel Van Os, Hugo Verweij, Jeffrey Meininger, Eric L.
