  • Publication number: 20260043663
    Abstract: Navigation routing is optimized to enhance guidance provided near potential route divergence points that increase route cost. Historical route data is used to determine costs for routes between an origin and destination. More expensive routes are compared to inexpensive routes to identify route segments found only in the expensive routes. The beginning of such a segment is labeled as an expensive divergence point for the route. When a routing request is received a routing engine determines the recommended route. A navigation engine identifies expensive divergence points located along the route and augments guidance related to the expensive divergence points—for example, by emphasizing maneuvers required to avoid deviating at the expensive divergence point. The augmented guidance may include audio, haptic, and visual cues that reduce the likelihood of deviating from the route, and highlight for the user the expensive nature of not staying on route at that point.

  • Patent number: 12425555
    Abstract: A virtual wave creation system comprises an eyewear device that includes a frame, a temple connected to a lateral side of the frame, and a depth-capturing camera. Execution of programming by a processor configures the virtual wave creation system to generate, for each of multiple initial depth images, a respective wave image by applying a transformation function that is responsive to a selected input parameter to the initial three-dimensional coordinates. The virtual wave creation system creates a warped wave video including a sequence of the generated warped wave images. The virtual wave creation system presents, via an image display, the warped wave video.

  • Patent number: 11922111
    Abstract: Methods and system for creating and managing personalized fonts. Personalized fonts are created by applying personalization parameters to a base font using a style application method or module such as a neural style transformation. The personalized fonts may be transferred to recipients of textual communications to enable the recipient to read messages from a sender in the personalized font of the sender.

  • Patent number: 8099758
    Abstract: A policy configurable file system includes a computer system upon which the policy configurable file system operates, a policy source for providing the configuration policies, and one or more file servers. The computer system includes software for enforcing one or more configuration policies. The policy source is typically either a policy server such that the policy is derived from the policy server, or a policy configurable file system, such that the policy is embedded in the policy configurable file system. The one or more file servers each uses a protocol, wherein the protocols of the one or more file servers are not all the same. In one case, the one or more of the configurable policies are separable from the policy configurable file system. In another case, the one or more configurable policies are downloadable to the computer system.
