Publication number: 20210389138Abstract: To modify a route based on a user's schedule, a first device associated with a first vehicle generates a set of navigation directions for traversing from a starting location to a destination location via a first route. The first device transmits a request for a second device associated with a second vehicle to modify a second route of the second vehicle in exchange for a reward. The modified second route of the second vehicle reduces an amount of time for the first vehicle to traverse the first route to the destination location. Then the first device provides the reward to be provided to the second device in response to determining that the second vehicle performed a maneuver in accordance with the modified second route.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2020Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: Mike Morton, Jeremy` Faller

Patent number: 10165020Abstract: Data reports are received from a plurality of clients including action reports and timing reports. Action reports describe actions performed by users of the clients at location within an eBook. Timing reports describe reading speeds of users of the clients. The data reports are analyzed to identify an action that is performed by the users of the clients at a location within the eBook frequently relative to other actions. Action information is generated for automatically performing the identified action at the location within the eBook. The action information is transmitted to a client. The client is configured to automatically perform the action at the location within the eBook. The reading location of a user of the client is determined based on the timing reports.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Abraham Phelps Murray, David Eric Saff, Jeremy Faller, Michael Salomon Morton

Patent number: 9959251Abstract: The structure of a digital content item is used to socially connect users consuming the digital content item. The structured representation of the digital content item is determined. This structured representation is analyzed to identify key events within the digital content item. A user's current location within the digital content item is identified. Social communications of the user are filtered responsive to the user's current location and the identified key events within the digital content item. In this way, the user may peruse social media without inadvertently reading communications that give away (e.g., spoil) key events such as important plot points.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Michael Salomon Morton, Jeremy Faller
