Publication number: 20240073647Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, software, and system may generally build and quantify mobility patterns based on user location data, both at an individual level and an aggregate level. The system may determine the origin and destination data for each trip taken by a user. The system may then define areas of mobility using a mobility graph built from the data. The graph may include nodes and edges. In some examples, the nodes are constructed from the origins and destinations of the trajectories using spatial clustering techniques. Further, the edges between nodes may be constructed based on the trips between them, such as two nodes are connected by an edge if there is at least one trip between them. The edges may be given different weights based on trip frequencies. The system may then determine a region of mobility using the generated mobility graph and data clustering techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Matei Stroila, Narayanan Alwar, Timothy W. Gibson, Sunil Chintakindi

Publication number: 20230362590Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, software, and system may generally identify, determine, and understand the significance of commute location data using telematics data. The system and methods may identify significant commute location data and points by analyzing telematics data and capturing GPS locations associated with the mobility of a user. The commute location data may be classified as data points including origin, destination, and waypoints. This commute location data may be used with metadata to identify significant locations associated with the user. The commute location data may also be used with metadata to understand mobility behavior of the user. Lastly, the commute location data may be used with metadata to determine risk associated with the user, such as based on a risk map.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Matei Stroila, Narayanan Alwar, Timothy W.

Patent number: 10281293Abstract: A navigation system comprises a processor, a geographic database and a guidance application executable on the processor. The guidance application obtains data from the geographic database and obtains a photographic image. The guidance application overlays an advertisement route highlight on said photographic image. The advertisement route highlight graphically illustrates a path corresponding to a route and a direction of travel for the route. The advertisement route highlight includes a series of advertisement decals.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2014Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventors: Adil M.

Patent number: 9989650Abstract: In one embodiment, the position of a mobile device is determined based, at least on part, of the relative locations of two or more nearby points. Distance data, received from a range finding sensor, corresponds to distances to the two or more nearby points from the mobile device. A predetermined model that includes previously recorded locations for objects is accessed to receive location data for two or more nearby points. A position of the mobile device is calculated based on the location data and the distance data. The nearby points may be building edges or building corners. The calculation may involve a series of equations. The series of equations may include satellite-based positioning equations in addition to equations based on the predetermined model.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2013Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventors: Bishnu Phuyal, Jeffrey R.

Patent number: 8896686Abstract: Systems, devices, features, and methods for determining a geometric parameter from an image are disclosed. For example, one method for determining the geometric parameter is used to develop a navigation database. The method comprises determining calibration values corresponding to a camera mounted on a vehicle or a pedestrian. A plurality of images of geographic features are captured by the camera. A single image from the plurality of images is identified or selected. A geometric parameter of a region in the single image is determined based on the determined calibration values. For example, the geometric parameter is a real-world distance, such as a real-world length or width.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2009Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventors: Xin Chen, Roger B.

Patent number: 8854453Abstract: Systems, devices, features, and methods for determining geographic position information from an image are disclosed. For example, one method for determining the geographic position information is used to develop a navigation database. The method comprises capturing a plurality of images of geographic features by a camera mounted on a vehicle or a pedestrian. A single image from the plurality of images is identified or selected.
