  • Patent number: 9983002
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for determining floors at a geographic location using barometric air pressure sensors in a mobile phone. An exemplary method includes identifying a first height associated with a location based on a client device. The first height indicates an entry level of the client device at the location. Using information regarding an amount of outside air pressure at the location, a pressure sensor in the client device is calibrated. A pressure offset for the location is calculated. The pressure offset identifies a difference between air pressure readings inside the location and the amount of outside air pressure at the location. Using the calibrated pressure sensor, a second height associated with the location is determined based on readings from the calibrated pressure sensor and the pressure offset. The second height indicates a different level at the location that the client device is currently on.

  • Publication number: 20170358015
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing reviews are provided. One example system includes one or more computing devices. The system includes one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations. The operations include identifying, based on a location history associated with a user, a first signal. The first signal comprises a frequency of visits by the user to a first point of interest over a first time period. The operations include identifying, based on the location history associated with the user, a change in the first signal after the first time period. The operations include providing a diminished review for the user with respect to the first point of interest when the identified change comprises a decrease in the frequency of visits by the user to the first point of interest.

  • Patent number: 9738412
    Abstract: A matchbox-type container wherein the sleeve has a proximal end wall with an aperture defined therein, and the bottom has a slot or channel defined lengthwise therein in direct and longitudinally continuous communication with the proximal end wall aperture. The longitudinally continuous aperture and channel permit a user to pass a finger into the aperture and unimpededly lengthwise through the channel to cause the tray to be pushed and extended distally, thereby permitting the tray contents to be exposed through the open distal end of the sleeve.

  • Publication number: 20170169366
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems for adjusting ride-sharing schedules and/or routes can include accessing a ride-sharing schedule for a ride-sharing vehicle. The ride-sharing schedule can include planned stops for one or more route locations at one or more predetermined stop times. An adjustment request seeking adjustment of one or more route locations and/or predetermined stop times of the ride-sharing schedule can be received. An adjustment cost associated with the adjustment request can be determined to provide an indication of the impact of the adjustment request to initial passengers of the ride-sharing vehicle. An adjustment request response based at least in part on the adjustment cost can be generated to provide as a notification output to indicate a decision relative to the adjustment request.

  • Publication number: 20170054825
    Abstract: Implementations of the disclosure describe inferring social groups through patterns of communication. A method of the disclosure includes ascertaining, by a processing device, a proposed group of contacts from contacts of the user based on a correlation in geographic locations of communications between the user and the proposed group of contacts and a correlation in a type of medium of the communications, providing a recommendation that the user create a new list of contacts associated with the user from the proposed group of contacts, and responsive to the user indicating acceptance of the recommendation, creating the new list of contacts associated with the user from the proposed group.

  • Publication number: 20160349064
    Abstract: A latency analysis system determines a latency period, such as a wait time, at a user destination. To determine the latency period, the latency analysis system receives location history from multiple user devices. With the location histories, the latency analysis system identifies points-of-interest that users have visited and determines the amount of time the user devices were at a point-of-interest. For example, the latency analysis system determines when a user device entered and exited a point-of-interest. Based on the elapsed time between entry and exit, the latency analysis system determines how long the user device was inside the point-of-interest. By averaging elapsed times for multiple user devices, the latency analysis system determines a latency period for the point-of-interest. The latency analysis system then uses the latency period to provide latency-based recommendations to a user. For example, the latency analysis system may determine a shopping route for a user.

  • Patent number: 9495660
    Abstract: Software authenticates the user of a social networking service which maintains one or more lists of contacts associated with the user that can be used by the user to selectively share content. The software ascertains a proposed group of contacts from at least one of the lists. The user and members of the proposed group are related by a plurality of communications and the communications are associated with one or more attributes including at least one of geographic locations associated with the communication, time of communication, or medium of communication. The software presents the proposed group of contacts to the user, with a recommendation that the user create a new list of contacts associated with the user from the proposed group of contacts. The software creates the new list of contacts from the proposed group, if the user indicates acceptance of the recommendation.

  • Patent number: 9449339
    Abstract: An electronic device may generate use related information and resource consumption related information corresponding to each of used applications used in the electronic device. The use related information and the resource consumption related information may then be transmitted to a remote applications manager, which may analyze the information to generate, based on the analysis, specially tailored application recommendations. The application recommendations may list one or more other applications, newly available or offered, which may be recommended for download to and/or use in the electronic device. The analysis of the use and the resource consumption information may comprise ranking the used applications, such as based on use patterns and/or resource consumption, and/or classification of the used applications, such as based on application type.
