  • Publication number: 20200028818
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of posting content to a social medium comprises receiving content posted by a user along with an associated posting time which indicates when the user selected an option to post the content to the social medium; determining that publication of the content posted by the user is dependent on a trigger; and in response to determining that publication of the content is dependent on the trigger, storing the content with the associated posting time and suspending publication of the content until the trigger is satisfied such that the posting time published with the content indicates a time prior to transmission of the content from an electronic device to a server for publishing.

  • Patent number: 10535257
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for transferring image data taken by an on-vehicle camera. The image data and nearby-vehicle information on a vehicle are received, where the image data and the nearby-vehicle information are successively transferred from each of a plurality of vehicles capable of making a communication with each other. Furthermore, information on a line of vehicles is generated based on the nearby-vehicle information. The image data is then associated with the information on the line of vehicles. Display data may then be generated using the image data. Furthermore, the display data may be presented on a display device in the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10352715
    Abstract: Driving assistant systems and computer-implemented methods for improving landmark-based route guidance are provided. The computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processor, image data including one or more landmarks. The computer-implemented method further includes identifying, by the processor, a candidate landmark within the image data. The computer-implemented method further includes presenting, by the processor, the candidate landmark to a user. The computer-implemented method further includes, in response to the user accepting the candidate landmark, storing, by the processor, the candidate landmark and a location of the candidate landmark.

  • Publication number: 20180046654
    Abstract: A webpage from a network server is received. The content of the received webpage is parsed. A first set of contextual data from one or more sources is collected. A first relationship between the collected first set of contextual data and the parsed content is identified. The identified relationship is determined to satisfy a first threshold. The parsed content is stored in a database for future display in response to the identified relationship satisfying the first threshold. At least a portion of the parsed content not stored in the database is displayed.
