  • Patent number: 11188402
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for determining location point quality. In one example, a computer-implemented method is provided which includes obtaining, by one or more computing devices, obtaining, by one or more computing devices, one or more location point reports for a location point. The method further includes generating, by the one or more computing devices, location point score modifier for the location point based on one or more location point reports. The method further includes providing, by the one or more computing devices, the location point score modifier for use in determining candidate location points for generation of location-based application content.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20200061472
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for providing geographic information for software application development. In one example, a computer-implemented method is provided for determining candidate locations for a playability service, which includes obtaining, by one or more computing devices, a plurality of location points and filtering the plurality of location points to obtain a plurality of candidate location points based at least in part on a suitability of each of the location points for use in generating location-based application content. The method further includes generating, by the one or more computing devices, a candidate location dataset based on the plurality of candidate location points. The method further includes receiving, by the one or more computing devices, a request for one or more of the plurality of candidate location points and providing data associated with one or more of the plurality of candidate location points in response to the request.

  • Patent number: 10042652
    Abstract: A method for operating a home automation system includes receiving a device modification request from a requesting user device of a requesting user to modify a configurable device property of a requested household device. The requesting user is one of one or more users associated with the household. The method further includes identifying the requested household device based on a home structure mapping the household devices to the corresponding device rooms based on a corresponding location of each household device in the residence. The method also includes determining whether the requesting user has an assigned access level granting access to the requested household device and allowing modification of the one or more configurable device properties of the requested household device. When the requesting user has been assigned an access level, the method includes permitting the modification of the at least one configurable device property of the requested household device.

  • Publication number: 20170223005
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computerized methods, systems, and devices, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for device authentication. For example, the resource device may generate and maintain master access tokens, which may be transmitted to a computing system. The computing system may receive, from a device of an owner of the resource device, data granting a client device limited access to the resource device in accordance with various access restrictions. The computing system may generate and provide to the client device a limited version of the master access token that specifies the access restrictions. The client device may present the local access token to the resource device over a direct wireless connection, and the resource device may verify the token and grant the requested access without communication with the computing system.
