Publication number: 20150160031Abstract: In a general aspect, a method for modifying a geographic route from a starting location to a destination location can include, responsive to a search query, presenting a graphical user interface including a depiction of a route including a series plurality of sequential maneuvers from the starting location to the destination location, where at least one of the series plurality of sequential maneuvers is associated with one or more selectable visual attributes that correspond with static or real-time conditions. The method can also include, automatically retrieving a refined route upon a selection of a first selectable visual attribute of the one or more selectable visual attributes, the refined route having a maneuver of the plurality of sequential maneuvers corresponding with the first selectable visual attribute replaced with one or more different maneuvers and, upon automatically retrieving the refined route, presenting the refined route in the graphical user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2012Publication date: June 11, 2015Applicant: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Andrew Eland, Hsun Tang, Judith Shade, Audrey Ya-Jun Yang, Jens Riegelsberger

Patent number: 9031928Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on one or more computer storage devices, for grouping search query refinements. One of the methods includes while receiving a text input into an input field by a user and before the user has submitted the text input to a search engine obtaining query suggestions based at least in part on the text input. The method includes grouping query suggestions based on a common query term shared by the query suggestions, wherein the query suggestions include terms that refine the common query term. The method includes transmitting a set of query suggestions to a client device for presentation, wherein the set includes the query suggestions that are presented as a group with the common query term presented in a prominent position and the refinement terms presented in subordinate positions and wherein the common query term and the refinement terms are each user-selectable.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2013Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Michelle I. Lee, Keekim J. Heng, Jens Riegelsberger, Jocelyn Lin

Patent number: 8825376Abstract: At least some embodiments herein provide a navigation interface which provides notifications to a user regarding the impact a missed transit connection will have on the user's final arrival time. The navigation interface may also provide pre-calculated transit-based route alternatives. The missed connection notifications and pre-calculated alternatives may allow an individual to a make more informed decisions regarding the route he/she is travelling to his/her desired destination.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2012Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Andrew Timothy Szybalski, Jocelyn Lin, Daniel Timothy Hoag, Audrey Ya-Jun Yang, Judith Shade, Jens Riegelsberger

Patent number: 8583374Abstract: Methods and systems for route summarization are described herein. The method includes generating a route from an origin to a destination, the route including a plurality of maneuvers. One or more maneuvers are removed from the plurality of maneuvers. A summarized route is generated that reflects the removal of the one or more maneuvers from the plurality of maneuvers such that the summarized route has fewer maneuvers than the route.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2012Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Morten Just Petersen, Noam Ben Haim, Jens Riegelsberger

Patent number: 8306749Abstract: Methods and systems for route summarization are described herein. The method includes generating a route from an origin to a destination, the route including a plurality of maneuvers. One or more maneuvers are removed from the plurality of maneuvers based, at least in part, upon geographic information about a selected user. A summarized route is generated that reflects the removal of the one or more maneuvers from the plurality of maneuvers such that the summarized route has fewer maneuvers than the route.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2011Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Morten Just Petersen, Noam Ben Haim, Jens Riegelsberger
