Publication number: 20240144299Abstract: Real-time busyness information is for a public place is computed in a privacy-sensitive way, and provided for display in relation to historical busyness information. An aggregate amount of real-time location information available for a particular public place is measured (410), and used to determine (420) whether the public place is privacy-qualified. If the public place is privacy-qualified, real-time busyness information is computed (440) for the public place based on the real-time location information. Further, it is determined (450) whether the computed real-time busyness information is accuracy-qualified, based on a comparison of the real-time busyness information to historical busyness information. If both qualifications are met, the real-time busyness information is output (470) for display or to another application.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Frank Russo, Luuk Van Dijk, Paul Donnelly, Quang Duong, James Aspinall, Finnegan Southey, Steve Chien

Publication number: 20240077324Abstract: Presented are techniques of identifying, processing and displaying data point clusters associated with map information in an efficient manner Methods and systems are disclosed which process map information to identify clusters of requested data points for display, based on iterative clustering and filtering of the data points. Methods and systems are also disclosed which generate polygons representing the clusters. The amount of data to be processed and/or displayed can be reduced, without loss of any associated information content in a displayed map.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Steve Chien, Mark Yinan Li, Marc Schaub, Benjamin Anderson, James Aspinall, Zhou Bailiang, Ruwen Hess

Patent number: 11635867Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to methods, devices, and computer-readable media to display a user interface that includes a map portion and a grid portion. A method includes identifying a first set of images that match a first region of a digital map and causing a user interface to be displayed that includes a map portion that corresponds to the first region of the digital map and a grid portion that includes images of the first set. The method further includes receiving user input indicative of a second region of the digital map. The method further includes identifying a second set of images that match the second region of the digital map and updating the user interface such that the map portion of the updated user interface corresponds to the second region of the digital map and the grid portion of the updated user interface includes images of the second set.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2020Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: James Aspinall, Andre Santoso, Juan Carlos Miguel Anorga
