  • Patent number: 10375619
    Abstract: Embodiments for managing mobile devices by one or more processors are described. A plurality of mobile devices are detected at a first location. After the plurality of mobile devices are detected at the first location, a first of the plurality of mobile devices is detected traveling to a second location while a second of the plurality of mobile devices remains at the first location. In response to the plurality of mobile devices being detected at the first location and the first of the plurality of mobile devices being detected traveling to the second location while the second of the plurality of mobile devices remains at the first location, data detected by the second of the plurality of mobile devices at the first location is enabled to be transmitted to the first of the plurality of mobile devices at the second location.

  • Patent number: 10237699
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for performing automated operations in order to predict obstacles to mobile device travel paths. Historical mobile device path data about multiple historical paths previously taken by a plurality of mobile devices during a first period of time is tracked. Recent mobile device path data about a plurality of recent paths taken by multiple mobile devices during a second period of time is received and analyzed, including comparing the historical mobile device path data with the recent mobile device path data. Based at least in part on such analysis, a location is predicted for a new obstacle that is determined to be substantially adjacent to one or more of the recent paths. An indication of the predicted location of the new obstacle is provided to one or more user devices.

  • Publication number: 20180364715
    Abstract: Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for autonomous vehicle operation using altered traffic regulations. The computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processor, request data that represents a request to use altered traffic regulations. The processor determines a current location of one or more autonomous vehicles associated with the request. The processor determines that an authority associated with the processor governs at least a portion of a road network associated with the request. The processor determines resolution of the request, wherein determining the resolution is based at least in part on a determination that the authority associated with the processor governs the associated portion of the road network associated with the request. The processor generates resolution data representing the resolution and transmits the resolution data.

  • Publication number: 20180307800
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for implementing a personalized training recommendation system. A request is received from a user to generate a personalized training regimen for a specified athletic event and event information is identified comprising characteristics of one or more geographical segments of the specified athletic event. Based on the event information, one or more portions of a geographical region are identified that approximate one or more characteristics of the one or more geographical segments within a predetermined tolerance. A training course is generated at least by combining a selected set of the portions of the geographical region based on an evaluation of a level of matching, for each portion, of characteristics of the portion to the one or more physical characteristics associated with the one or more geographical segments of the specified athletic event, which is then presented to the user as the personalized training regimen for the user.
