  • Patent number: 11663282
    Abstract: Systems and methods for discovering and annotating geo-fences from geo-referenced data are disclosed. The systems and methods input an area of interest containing a plurality of geo-referenced points having associated labels, and divides the area interest into cells. Each cell is assigned an initial label from among the plurality of labels and hierarchical clustering is used to find clusters of cells having a common label based on a maximization of an objective function for each cell with the objective function being dependent upon favoring spatially adjacent cells having a common label and limiting overgeneralization of the common label.

  • Publication number: 20200256690
    Abstract: The application relates to apparatus, methods and computer programs for determining routes for a user performing an activity. In examples of the disclosure there is provided an apparatus comprising means for detecting an input that causes selection of a category of activity wherein the category of activity defines an intended physiological outcome for a user performing the activity; and determining a route for the selected category of activity. The route comprises a plurality of segments and values of one or more parameters are assigned to one or more of the plurality of segments. The values of the parameters provide a respective level of association of the one or more parameters with the intended physiological outcome defined by the selected category of activity. Determining a route for the selected category of activity comprises selecting segments from the plurality of segments based on the values of the one or more parameters.
