Publication number: 20240044665Abstract: To provide personalized data for display on a map, a server device obtains location data for a user and identifies locations that are familiar to the user based on the frequency and recency in which the user visits the locations. The server device then provides the familiar locations in search results/suggestions and annotates the familiar locations with a description of a relationship between the familiar location and the user. The server device also includes the familiar locations as landmarks for performing maneuvers in a set of navigation instructions. Furthermore, the server device provides a familiar location as a frame of reference on a map display when a user selects another location nearby the familiar location. Moreover, the server device includes a familiar location as an intermediate destination when the user request navigation directions to a final destination.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Haroon Baig, Ankit Gupta

Patent number: 11709881Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) overlay augments traditional menu items with corresponding photos, thereby facilitating a decision-making process of a user ordering from the menu. In addition to providing imagery of the menu items listed, other information may also be supplied, such as ratings, reviews etc. In this regard, users can visualize what to expect before ordering, and can order with a greater degree of confidence that they will enjoy the menu item they select.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Cesar Morais Palomo, Haroon Baig

Patent number: 11526569Abstract: Aspects of the technology evaluate places that are familiar to a given user in order to provide contextualized location information about other places of interest. This may include evaluating the actual number of visits by the given user to one or more locations in a given geographical area. For instance, places that have been visited a sufficient number of times within a particular timeframe are identified as personal landmarks for that user. Thus, when the user searches for a specific place or otherwise requests results that fit a query, the system can use the personalized landmark information to help rank search results and to provide location cues to aid the user to quickly and efficiently arrive at the location of the search result. Personal landmarks are necessarily familiar to the user, and thus can reduce the number of turn-by-turn directions or simplify the graphical interface of the client device.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2018Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Haroon Baig, Ankit Gupta

Publication number: 20220100335Abstract: A method is implemented in a computing device having an operating system configured to capture screenshot images in response to entries of a pre-defined user input. In the method, an application executes in a current state or mode in which an application screen is shown on the display device, detects an entry of the pre-defined user input by a user, and identifies one or more features that (i) are supported by the application, (ii) are at least partially determined by the current state or mode, and (iii) can use at least one type of information displayed by the application screen to perform respective function(s). The application generates a selectable link for each identified feature, and presents, on the display device, the generated selectable link(s), such that a selection by the user of any one of the generated selectable link(s) causes the application to perform the respective set of functions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventors: Haroon Baig, Holger-Frederik Flier

Patent number: 11249616Abstract: A method is implemented in a computing device having an operating system configured to capture screenshot images in response to entries of a pre-defined user input. In the method, an application executing on the computing device detects an entry of the pre-defined user input, identifies one or more executable features of the application that each use information corresponding to a current state or mode of the application to perform a respective set of one or more functions, generates a selectable link for each of the identified executable features, and presents, on the display, the generated selectable links such that a selection by the user of any one of the generated selectable links causes the respective set of functions to be performed.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2017Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Haroon Baig, Holger-Frederik Flier

Publication number: 20210404832Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems for generating travel improvements. In particular a computer system can access historical trip information associated with a user. The computer system can select one or more trips represented in the historical trip information, the one or more trips comprising data describing an origination point, a destination point, and an actual route traveled between the origination point and the destination point. The computer system can generate a recommended route from the origination point to the destination point. The computer system can compare the actual route and the recommended route to identify one or more areas of trip improvement. The computer system can transmit a recommendation for display to a user including information associated with the one or more areas of trip improvement.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2020Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventor: Haroon Baig

Patent number: 11054269Abstract: An interactive digital map of a geographic area is provided via a user interface of a user device, with the currently visible portion of the interactive digital map visible within a viewport. The viewport is repositioned from an initial position on the digital map to a target position on the digital map along a trajectory in accordance with one or more user commands. For different positions on the trajectory of the viewport, navigation directions to a geographic location near a center of the viewport are automatically retrieved, without receiving commands via the user interface to obtain navigation directions to the geographic location. The navigation directions having a first and second levels of detail are retrieved for a first and second points on the trajectory, respectively, the first level of detail including less information than the second level of detail. The navigation directions are displayed via the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2017Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Haroon Baig, Petr Pajas
