Publication number: 20220068161Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present systems, devices, methods, and computer readable medium for contextual driver evaluation and feedback. The disclosed techniques allow for a graphical user interface to collect and annotate trip data from various sensors integrated in a mobile device for a user. The techniques presented describe the segmentation of the data into one or more populations and the identification of event and behavior features for each segment in order to evaluate a driver's ability. The techniques described present this information to the user through a graphical user interface that includes a driver score and coaching tips to improve the driver's future behavior.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Applicant: Tourmaline Labs, Inc.Inventors: Steven Lloyd Pifko, Lukas Daniel Kuhn, Christoph Peter Stüber

Patent number: 11183081Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present systems, devices, methods, and computer readable medium for contextual driver evaluation. The disclosed techniques allow for collecting trip data from various sensors integrated in a mobile device for a user. The techniques include segregating the trip motion data into one or more segments associated with one or more populations with distinct features and characteristics. The trip data can be processed to identify event and behavior features that can be used to evaluate a driver's abilities in a contextually appropriate way. The information for a plurality of drivers can be compared to score the driver's ability amount a plurality of drivers.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2018Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: Tourmaline Labs, Inc.Inventors: Steven Lloyd Pifko, Lukas Daniel Kuhn, Christoph Peter Stüber

Patent number: 9037527Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and articles of manufacture for use in a mobile device to determine whether a dynamic user profile is to transition from a first state to a second state based, at least in part, on one or more sensed indicators. The dynamic user profile may be indicative of one or more current inferable user behavior contexts for a user co-located with the mobile device. The mobile device may transition a dynamic user profile from a first state to a second state, in response to a determination that the dynamic user profile is to transition from the first state to the second state, and operatively affect one or more functions performed, at least in part, by the mobile device based, at least in part, on the transition of the dynamic user profile to the second state.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2014Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Lukas Daniel Kuhn, Sanjiv Nanda, Vidya Narayanan

Publication number: 20140122396Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods to optimize a rules engine as a platform within a computing system. The computing system may identify a context of interest, such as environment or circumstance of the computing system or a user of the computing system. Based on the identified context of interest, the rules engine platform may selectively identify rules or sets of rules that are relevant to the context of interest. Accordingly, rules or sets of rules that are irrelevant to the context of interest may be omitted from evaluation. Therefore, resources of the computing system may not consumed in some embodiments by resolving conflicts between rules and evaluating rules that result in actions that are not suitable for the context of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: May 1, 2014Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Ashwin Swaminathan, Lukas Daniel Kuhn, Li Ding, Evan Patton

Patent number: 8682345Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for utilizing relationships between places of relevance are presented. In some embodiments, a mobile computing device may obtain information indicative of a micro-place of relevance visited by the mobile device at a first time. The information may be based on measurements taken by the mobile device at the first time. Further, the mobile device may derive an attribute of the visit to the micro-place of relevance based on the obtained information and a place model that associates micro-places of relevance with macro-places of relevance.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2012Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Lukas Daniel Kuhn, Jinwon Lee, Vidya Narayanan

Publication number: 20110060750Abstract: The present application relates to systems and methods for determining at least one target path from a start vertex to a goal vertex within a directed acyclic graph. The systems and methods use a target value search (MFTVS) of a directed acyclic graph. The MFTVS includes beginning with a start vertex as a current prefix and progressing through selected prefixes. The MFTVS further includes determining a selected prefix from successor prefixes of the current prefix according to a selection rule. The selection rule is one of selecting the successor prefix having a highest path value and selecting the successor prefix having a lowest path value. The MFTVS further includes setting the current prefix to the selected prefix until a frontier of a blind spot is encountered. The frontier of the blind spot is defined by an evaluation function.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2009Publication date: March 10, 2011Applicant: PALO ALTO RESEARCH CENTER INCORPORATEDInventors: Lukas Daniel Kuhn, Johan deKleer, Tim Schmidt, Rong Zhou
