  • Patent number: 10359290
    Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) edge-based map matching includes using a 2D edge-based map matching platform. The 2D edge-based map matching platform receives at least one request to match a probe data point to one of a plurality of thoroughfare segments. Next, the 2D edge-based map matching platform determines respective edges of the plurality of thoroughfare segments and causes a matching of the probe data point to the one thoroughfare segment based on a comparison of the probe data point to the respective edges of the plurality of thoroughfare segments.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9843534
    Abstract: An approach is provided for managing the provisioning and utilization of resources. A management platform determines a request from a user for execution of one or more data processing tasks by a remote computing service. The management platform also processes and/or facilitates a processing of at least one execution constraint associated with the user, a group associated with the user, or a combination thereof to determine a maximum number of clusters, cluster instances, or a combination thereof of the remote computing service to be provisioned for fulfilling the request. The management platform further causes, at least in part, a provisioning of one or more clusters, one or more cluster instances, or a combination thereof to the user, the group, or a combination thereof to within the maximum number of clusters, cluster instances, or a combination thereof based on the at least one execution constraint.

  • Patent number: 9672240
    Abstract: A mobile device initiates communication with a server through a location based service and sends a user generated submission and a geolocation to the server. The server identifies an incomplete entry in a geographic database based on the geolocation and generates a probe question for the incomplete entry. The probe question requests that a user visually inspect or photograph an object or area near the geolocation. The server analyzes the information provided by the user in order to update the geographic database.
