  • Patent number: 11774257
    Abstract: Systems and methods described receive a request for a transportation plan for a user, wherein the request comprises a starting point and an ending point for a route. Systems and methods then generate a set of potential transportation plans for the route, determine an impact of a subset of plans in the set of potential transportation plans and estimate a likelihood of acceptance of the subset of plans in the set of potential transportation plans based on a personal preference model for the user. Systems and methods also select an influence strategy of the user based on a user model and generate a message recommending a selected plan from the subset of plans for the user, wherein the message is generated based on the selected influence strategy.

  • Publication number: 20210318130
    Abstract: Systems and methods described receive a request for a transportation plan for a user, wherein the request comprises a starting point and an ending point for a route. Systems and methods then generate a set of potential transportation plans for the route, determine an impact of a subset of plans in the set of potential transportation plans and estimate a likelihood of acceptance of the subset of plans in the set of potential transportation plans based on a personal preference model for the user. Systems and methods also select an influence strategy of the user based on a user model and generate a message recommending a selected plan from the subset of plans for the user, wherein the message is generated based on the selected influence strategy.

  • Patent number: 10885783
    Abstract: Systems and methods described receive a request for a transportation plan for a user, wherein the request comprises a starting point and an ending point for a route and generate a set of potential transportation plans for the route. The systems and methods determine an estimated travel time and an estimated fuel consumption for at least a first subset of plans in the set of potential transportation plans and estimate an impact on a transportation system of at least a second subset of plans in the set of potential transportation plans. Based at least in part on the estimated time, the estimated fuel, and the estimated impact on the transportation system, a plan is selected.

  • Publication number: 20200210967
    Abstract: One embodiment can provide a system for augmenting perceptions of a machine sensing system. During operation, one or more sensors of the system can obtain sensory information associated with a physical system. The system can determine a state of a first component of the physical system based on the obtained sensory information; select, from a rule database, one or more logical rules associated with at least the first component; and augment a perception of the machine sensing system toward the physical system based on both the determined state of the first component and the selected one or more logical rules, thereby facilitating the machine sensing system to make a decision associated with the physical system.

  • Publication number: 20170301258
    Abstract: A method and system for delivering a multidimensional wellness coaching program and recommendation to a computing device. During operation, the system receives a request for content to assist the user in achieving a health and wellness goal from the computing device. The system estimates numeric values for a radar chart. The system may create a customized program by combining components and primitives and the customized program includes a set of activities for the user to perform. The system may receive user input and sensor and user activity data from the computing device. Based on the received information, the system may modify the radar chart. The system may modify components of the customized program based on the radar chart. The system may generate a coaching recommendation based on the radar chart. The system then sends the customized program and coaching recommendation to the computing device.
