Patent number: 10962373Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for generating and providing assessments of transit network characteristics for specified locations. The system receives a specified location, generates an assessment of the received location, and provides a generated visual representation of the received location to a client system. Determining a location assessment may be based on transit network information related to the distance between a specified location and the nearest point of access/egress on transit network routes that are accessible from the specified location, the frequency at which the transit network routes stop at the point of access/egress on the transit network routes that are accessible from the indicated location, or the transportation mode used for at least one of the transit network routes that are accessible from the specified location. The initial location assessment may be updated periodically, in response to changes in system status, or on demand by user request.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2017Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Walk Score Management, LLCInventors: Matthew Lerner, Jesse G.

Patent number: 9964410Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating travel sheds which show the area reachable in a given amount of time by different modes of transport. A travel shed may consist of a series of polygons or other geometric shapes showing areas which are reachable from a given address or location within a specified travel time by utilizing a specified mode of transport (e.g. driving, biking, walking, public transportation, etc.). Techniques are disclosed for enabling the rapid calculations of travel times. In one embodiment, the rapid generation of travel times and associated travel sheds may be enabled by performing a number of pre-processing steps (e.g. downsampling, progressive road type removal, etc.) on road graph data. The pre-processing steps reduce the size of the road graph while still preserving enough of the road graph to generate accurate travel sheds. One example use of travel sheds is to enable searching for points of interest (e.g. homes, apartments, hotels, restaurants, schools, parks, etc.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2015Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: WALK SCORE MANAGEMENT, LLCInventors: Bo Borgerson, Kenshi Kawaguchi, Matthew Lerner, Josh Herst

Patent number: 8478763Abstract: A unified user interface is described that allows a user to search, browse, and launch items from the same user interface. For example, a single text input box may be provided that allows the user to perform all these functions by typing in a portion of an item name or an entire item name. The various functions may be selectively performed depending upon the text inputted by the user into the text input box. For example, where the text appears to be the beginning of an item name, then those items matching the input text will dynamically appear as the user types. Or, where the text appears to be the beginning of a file path, then items in that file path may be presented. In addition, advanced items such as system files may be suppressed so that inexperienced users do not accidentally stumble across these items.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2009Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Bret P.

Patent number: 7962846Abstract: A system and process for handling clips with annotations is provided. A user annotates a document. The system gathers context information regarding the clip and displays the clip or clips with annotations to the user. A system for showing clips of content and annotations may include an input for receiving content and annotations, a processor creating a renderable image having the clips with at least one of the clips being a combination of two or more annotations, and an output for outputting the renderable image. A method of displaying clips may include receiving at least two sets of an annotation and related content, filtering the received, combining the filtered output, and displaying a combination of the filtered output.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2004Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Matthew Lerner, William Mak, Kevin Paulson, Jeffrey W.

Patent number: 7634729Abstract: Computer systems and methods allow users to receive, save, access, and/or display handwritten information as electronic ink in objects managed by an operating system and/or that are accessible by the operating system. Such systems and methods may allow the operating system to receive, save, access, and/or display electronic ink file names, author identifiers, keywords or comments, and the like. Some examples of such systems and methods include: (a) receiving electronic ink data associated with a document or file; (b) storing the electronic ink data; and (c) providing operating system access to the stored electronic ink data. Then, whenever the file name (or other information) is displayed in an object managed by the operating system, it will be displayed in electronic ink format. Additionally, aspects of the invention relate to computer-readable media including instructions stored thereon for performing the methods and operating the systems described above.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2003Date of Patent: December 15, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Matthew Lerner, Michael S.

Publication number: 20070130535Abstract: Described is distinguishing between input mechanisms to determine which input mechanism was used to activate a start menu. A start menu is selected that corresponds to the input mechanism that was used to activate it. Further data corresponding to start menu interaction is received, and action is taken via based on the further interaction. For example, upon detecting activation of a start menu, how the start menu was activated from among activation types is used to present a first start menu/behavior for a first activation type, which may differ from a second start menu/behavior activated via a second activation type. For example, a determination may be made as to whether a start menu was invoked via a pointing device or via keyboard; when via keyboard, a search entry region may be provided, by which a user may directly enter search criteria via the keyboard.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2005Publication date: June 7, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Pasquale DeMaio, Matthew Lerner, Charles Cummins, Song Zou, Bret Anderson, David Matthews, Isabelo de los Reyes, Joseph Matthews
