Kaushik Iska has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11561943
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to deduplicating metadata about places. A feature generator module is configured to generate features for metadata profiles. The metadata profiles represent a plurality of places. The features are based on geohash strings and word embeddings generated for the metadata profiles. A diff generator module is configured to generate diff vectors that pair-wise encode results of comparison between features of paired metadata profiles. A classification module is configured to generate similarity scores for the paired metadata profiles based on the diff vectors. A particular similarity score indicates whether metadata profiles in a particular pair of metadata profiles represent a same place.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10972862
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to determining visitor behavior. In particular, it relates to receiving preliminary geospatial coordinates of a plurality of places-of-interest, generating (i) contours of the places-of-interest and (ii) hyper-located geospatial coordinates of centroids of the places-of-interest based on processing the preliminary geospatial coordinates of the places-of-interest, and correlating (i) the contours and (ii) the hyper-located geospatial coordinates of the centroids of the places-of-interest with geospatial coordinates of visitor locations to determine the visitor behavior of visitors visiting the places-of-interest, including at least one of detecting whether the visitors visited the places-of-interest, and detecting a duration for which the visitors visited the places-of-interest.

  • Patent number: 10877947
    Abstract: The technology disclosed uses machine learning-based models to compare and merge metadata profiles from various metadata sources to create a library of metadata profiles with the most accurate attributes. The technology disclosed adjusts the geospatial coordinates of places located inside a building structure for accuracy and defines a block for each place within the perimeter of the building structure. The building structure may host a single place or multiple places. The non-overlapping blocks, the adjusted geospatial coordinates of places and more accurate metadata profiles enable the gathering of accurate location-specific data from visitors inside the building structures through their personal devices.

  • Patent number: 10623889
    Abstract: The technology disclosed adjusts the geospatial coordinates of places-of-interest located inside a building structure for accuracy and defines a block for each place-of-interest within the perimeter of the building structure. The building structure may host a single place-of-interest or multiple places-of-interest. The technology disclosed outlines a contour of the building structure based on geospatial coordinates of the perimeter points of the building structure, identifies contained places-of-interest within the contour, divides the contour into pieces, calculating splines for each of the pieces, and partitions the pieces into non-overlapping blocks by orthogonally projecting block boundaries onto the splines. Each contained places-of-interest within the building structure is attributed to a block.
