Patent number: 11245758Abstract: A method for providing restoration of third-party application data to a client device is described herein. The method includes determining whether to provide, to the client device, data associated with a third-party application to be restored at the client device. The data associated with the third-party application includes binary data stored in a first cloud storage location having a storage address, and metadata stored in a second cloud storage location. The method also includes using the metadata to determine the storage address of the first cloud storage location. The method further includes providing the binary data from the first cloud storage location to the client device for restoring the third-party application data.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2019Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Michael Jeffrey Procopio, Christiaan Prins, Ramesh Nagarajan, Ushasree Kode, Christopher Tate, Di Wu, Reuben Kan, John Herndon

Patent number: 11178224Abstract: A method for storing mobile device data to cloud storage includes detecting a predetermined condition to backup data associated with a first mobile device to the cloud storage. Uploading, to a cloud storage server, data associated with the first mobile device including data associated with a plurality of third-party applications stored on the first mobile device and one or more of contacts information stored on the first mobile device, text messages stored on the first mobile device, or contents of a memory card associated with the first mobile device. The data associated with the plurality of third-party applications include binary data and metadata. The method further includes storing the binary data of the plurality of third-party applications at a first cloud storage location and storing the metadata of the plurality of third-party applications to a second cloud storage location that is different from the first cloud storage location.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2019Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Michael Jeffrey Procopio, Christiaan Prins, Ramesh Nagarajan, Ushasree Kode, Christopher Tate, Di Wu, Reuben Kan, John Herndon

Patent number: 11036773Abstract: A cloud storage system provides remote access to a file associated with the cloud storage system. In response to a request to access the file, the cloud storage system identifies applications available to the request generator and capable of accessing the file, which may include both online web-based applications and applications installed on a device with which the user is accessing the file. The cloud storage system determines an application type of an identified application, and provides file access to the identified application based on the application type.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2018Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Michael Jeffrey Procopio, Tobias Thierer, Reuben Kan, Ivan Young Lee, Eric Benson Schoeffler, Brian Lewis Cairns

Patent number: 10977941Abstract: Locating passenger transit vehicles by detecting interactions. Each interaction is between a transit terminal and a geolocation-enabled user device, and is characterized by data indicative of the interacting terminal, the interacting user device, and the time of interaction. For each detected interaction, a geolocation of the corresponding user device at the time of the interaction is requested; and in response to the requesting, the geolocation of the corresponding user device, the time of the geolocation, and the data indicative of the interacting terminal is received. A particular passenger transit vehicle associated with at least one interacting terminal is identified based on the user device geolocations. The location of the passenger transit vehicle is transmitted for display on user devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Reuben Kan, Cayden Meyer

Patent number: 10635916Abstract: Systems and methods for determining vehicle crowdedness are provided. A method can include obtaining, by a computing system, real-time location data including information identifying a real-time location corresponding to a transit station for each of a plurality of user computing devices; determining, by the computing system using a vehicle crowdedness model, a vehicle crowdedness for one or more transit vehicles departing from one or more transit stations based at least in part on the real-time location data; and communicating, by the computing system, data indicative of the vehicle crowdedness for the one or more transit vehicles to a particular user computing device. The data indicative of the vehicle crowdedness can include information for displaying the vehicle crowdedness for the one or more transit vehicles on the particular user computing device.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2019Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Cayden Meyer, Reuben Kan
