Patent number: 10558724Abstract: Location graph-based derivation of user attributes. Location data associated with a user, such as a current and/or past location at which the user has been, is received. A user attribute data associated with the location data is determined and used to update a user profile associated with the user.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2017Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: NINTHDECIMAL, INC.Inventors: Kevin Toshio Ching, Grigory Sokol, Ahmad Fairiz Azizi, Luke Gain, Yury Zhyshko, Mark Christopher Dixon, Robert Abusaidi, Kevin McKenzie, John Raymond Klein, Leonid Blyukher, Jeff Pittelkau, David Staas

Publication number: 20180359608Abstract: Systems and methods including computing patterns of visitation to predefined regions by converting coordinates of mobile devices to cell identifiers and searching a database to find matches between cell identifiers representing regions and the cell identifiers of the device locations. Devices having similar visitation patterns are divided into two groups, based on status data of whether or not information about a region has been transmitted to respective users. The visitation patterns after the transmission are compared by a system between the two groups to measure a difference. Identifiers of devices, users, or households are initially provided to the system without the status data to obtain attributes associated individually with the identifiers. In return, the system is provided with the status data associated with the attributes individually for the devices, users, or households but without sufficient information to map the status data individually to the identifiers of the devices, users, or households.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2018Publication date: December 13, 2018Inventors: Kevin Toshio Ching, Veronica Milenkiy, Paolo D'Alberto, Keith Kilpatrick, Andrew Shapiro, Mark Christopher Dixon, Todd A.

Patent number: 10142788Abstract: Systems and methods including mobile devices determining their location using a location determination system, such as a global positioning system. A database stores the identifiers of cells representative of predefined regions in a hierarchical grid system. The location coordinates as function of time are converted to visitation patterns of the mobile devices to the predefined regions, based on converting the coordinates to cell identifiers and searching the database to find matches between the cell identifiers representing the regions and the cell identifiers representing the mobile device locations. For example, mobile devices having similar visitation patterns can be identified and divided into two groups; and information relevant to a region is transmitted to one of the group but not another. The visitation patterns of the two group after the transmission is identified and compared to measure a difference.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2017Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: NINTHDECIMAL, INC.Inventors: Yury Zhyshko, Veronica Milenkiy, Elena Rose, Mark Christopher Dixon, Kevin Toshio Ching, Keith Kilpatrick

Patent number: 10034141Abstract: Systems and methods including a database storing the identifiers of cells representing residential parcels of real estate properties. Mobile devices determine the coordinates of their locations during a period of time using a location determination system, such as a global positioning system. The coordinates are converted to cell identifiers to look up corresponding residential parcels that have been visited by the mobile devices. A server generates a visitation data set for each residential parcel visited by each mobile device, including different types of frequencies of the mobile device visiting the residential parcel (e.g., night, weekend). A server filters the residential parcels based on visitation frequencies to identify home candidates and then further filters the home candidates based on the count of mobile devices having the home candidates. A home parcel, and thus its address, is identified from the filtered home candidate(s) for each mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2017Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: NINTHDECIMAL, INC.Inventors: Elena Rose, Mark Christopher Dixon, Kevin Toshio Ching, Veronica Milenkiy
