  • Patent number: 12079447
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230044010
    Abstract: An interactive digital map is provided via a user interface of a computing device. A request to obtain travel directions to a destination is received via the user interface. An indication of a ride from a pick-up location to a drop-off location, to traverse at least a portion of the route, is obtained from a third-party provider of a ride service. Visualization information for rendering a visualization of the ride on the digital map also is received from the third-party provider of the ride service. The visualization of the ride on the digital map is generated in accordance with the received visualization information.

  • Patent number: 11249616
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20170265040
    Abstract: In a method for determining accuracy of arrival time information, one or more ETAs are received from a transit service provider. Each ETA indicates a time at which the transit service provider purports to be able to provide a transit service at a respective location. An ETA corresponding to a target location of a mobile communications device is determined and sent to the mobile communications device for display to a user. User activity data indicative of locations of the mobile communications device over time is logged, and processed to determine both (i) that the user did use the transit service provider and (ii) the time at which the transit service was actually provided at the target location. A time difference between the ETA and the actual arrival time is then calculated.
