Publication number: 20230377228Abstract: A computing device receives a first user input that includes user selection of a first data field of a data source from a schema information region of a user interface and placement of the first data field into a data visualization region of the user interface. When the first data field corresponds to a geographic data field, the computing device determines longitude and latitude information for data values of the first data field. The computing device generates a map data visualization corresponding to the first data field according to the determined longitude and latitude information. The map data visualization includes a first layer having a first set of data marks corresponding to the first data field. The computing device displays, in the data visualization region, the map data visualization including the first set of data marks.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Rodion Degtyar, Bryan Alexander Feddern, Steven Richard Hollasch, Raphael Hsieh, Lauren Lea Jackson, Dirk Karis, Vladimir Kondrashov, Ashwin Kumar, Jialin Le, John Michael Lounsbery, Kent Marten, Patrick Kenneth McKay, Jonathan D. Que, Yang Su, Dan Zheng, Roger Bruce Dubbs, III

Patent number: 11715245Abstract: A method generates map visualizations with multiple map layers. A user selects a data source with geographic data. A device displays a data visualization user interface, including a schema information region with data fields, and shelf regions that defining characteristics for a data visualization. The user selects a first geographic data, and the user interface generates a map data visualization using coordinates associated with the first geographic data field. The visualization includes a first plurality of data marks in a first layer. The user selects a second geographic data field. In response, the user interface displays a new layer icon. Upon activation of the new layer icon by the second geographic data field, the user interface superimposes a second layer over the existing map data visualization to form an updated map data visualization. The second layer includes a second plurality of data marks corresponding to the second geographic data field.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Tableau Software, LLCInventors: Rodion Degtyar, Bryan Alexander Feddern, Steven Richard Hollasch, Raphael Hsieh, Lauren Lea Jackson, Dirk Karis, Vladimir Kondrashov, Ashwin Kumar, Jialin Le, John Michael Lounsbery, Kent Marten, Patrick Kenneth McKay, Jonathan D.

Publication number: 20230019041Abstract: This disclosure describes a collective UAV in which multiple UAVs may be coupled together to form the collective UAV. A collective UAV may be used to aerially transport virtually any size, weight or quantity of items, travel longer distances, etc. For example, rather than using one large UAV to carry a larger or heavier item, multiple smaller UAVs may couple together to form a collective UAV that is used to carry the larger or heavier item.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Nathan Michael Paczan, Michael John Elzinga, Raphael Hsieh, Luan Khai Nguyen

Patent number: 10112712Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a series of multiuse UAV docking stations are disclosed. The docking stations can be networked with a central control and a plurality of UAVs. The docking stations can include a number of services to facilitate both UAV guidance and maintenance and community acceptance and benefits. The docking stations can include package handling facilities and can act as a final destination or as a delivery hub. The docking stations can extend the range of UAVs by providing recharging/refueling stations for the UAVs. The docking stations can also include navigational aid to guide the UAVs to the docking stations and to provide routing information from the central control. The docking stations can be incorporated into existing structures such as cell towers, light and power poles, and buildings. The docking stations can also comprise standalone structures to provide additional services to underserved areas.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2016Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Kristofer Gentry, Raphael Hsieh, Luan Khai Nguyen

Patent number: 9864778Abstract: Described are techniques to provide event data to users. Event data corresponding to one or more events may be received from a first device. Availability data corresponding to availability of a user regarding events may be received from a second device. The event data that corresponds to at least a portion of user data associated with the second device may be determined, and at least a portion of the event data is provided to the second device. Rating data acquired or generated by a device present at the event location may be used to adjust a rating metric associated with the event.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: William Alexander Strand, Samuel Appelbaum, Raphael Hsieh, James Ronald Spencer, II
