  • Patent number: 11580351
    Abstract: A technique is described herein for automatically logging journeys taken by a user, and then automatically classifying the purposes of the journeys. In one implementation, the technique obtains journey data from one or more movement-sensing devices as a user travels from a starting location to an ending location in a vehicle. The technique generates a set of features based on the journey data, and then uses a machine-trainable model (such as a neural network) to make its classification based on the features. The machine-trainable model accepts at least one feature that is based on statistical information regarding at least one aspect of prior journeys that the user has taken. Overall, the technique provides a resource-efficient solution that rapidly provides personalized results to individual respective users. In some implementations, the technique performs its personalization without sharing journey data with a remote server.
