Patent number: 11030538Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to determining an inquiry to provide to a user based on deficient information related to a plan of the user. Deficient information may be determined based on an insufficient association between a desired information item of the plan and a set of information items that are determined from one or more sources associated with the user. In some implementations, the user may provide, responsive to the inquiry, additional information related to the deficient information and a suggestion may be provided to the user based on the additional information.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2017Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Andrew Theodore Wansley, Amay Nitin Champaneria, Frederick Peter Brewin, Jason Luther Smart

Publication number: 20200301935Abstract: A system is described that, after executing a parameterless search query to identify results that are determined to be relevant to a user of a device, determines a respective target property, for each of the results, that indicates whether a result is associated with audio content, visual content, audio and visual content, haptic content, or textual content. The system also determines one or more dynamic properties, of the device, that indicate one or more of a network connection strength, connection status to an audio output device, battery level, or connection status to a multimedia streaming device. Based on the one or more dynamic properties of the computing device and the respective target property of each of the results, the system determines a dynamic ranking of the results and transmits the results and the dynamic ranking to the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2020Publication date: September 24, 2020Inventors: Jakob Nicolaus Foerster, Frederick Peter Brewin

Publication number: 20200234168Abstract: A computing system is described that predicts a future action to be taken by a user of a computing device and determines, based on contextual information associated with the computing device, a current action being taken by the user. The computing system determines, based on the current action, a degree of likelihood of whether the user will be able to take the future action and predicts, based on the degree of likelihood, that the user will not be able to take the future action. The computing system sends information to the computing device indicating that the current action being taken by the user will lead to the user not being able to take the future action.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2020Publication date: July 23, 2020Inventors: Jakob Nicolaus Foerster, Frederick Peter Brewin

Publication number: 20190188739Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer-readable media (transitory and non-transitory) are disclosed for identifying a good or service of potential interest to the user and a context in which the good or service would be consumed, determining, based on historical data, a statistic about resources expended by other users to consume goods or services of a same class as the good or service of potential interest to the user in contexts that correspond to the predicted context, and providing an indication of the statistic. In some implementations, the good or service of potential interest to the user may be predicted, e.g., based on one or more signals associated with the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2014Publication date: June 20, 2019Inventors: Amay Nitin Champaneria, Frederick Peter Brewin

Publication number: 20180174075Abstract: Travel preferences are received from a user for a trip including a starting location, starting travel date, destination and arrival date. At least one month is presented in a calendar via a graphical user interface, including a month associated with the starting travel date. For one or more days from the starting travel date, a value of a feature is determined that is associated with originating travel on a respective day. A lowest value of the feature is determined of a ticket to travel on a trip starting on the respective day that lasts a projected number of days equal to a proposed trip length plus or minus a predetermined number of days. The lowest value of the feature for each day is presented in the calendar and in a graph that includes axes representing value of the feature and days.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2016Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventors: Rani S. Manoharan, Frederick Peter Brewin
