Patent number: 9389090Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward a system for bidirectional navigation viewing and methods thereof. The system includes at least one server and a first client device and a second client device that are both communicatively coupled with the server. The server is configured to continuously provide data to both devices for bidirectional viewing of an optimal route from a source location to a destination location on the first client device and on the second client device. The source location and the destination location are typically specified by the first client device and the second client device, respectively. The source location is typically the current location of the first device. The optimal route is continuously updated based on information sent to the server. The information typically includes updated location information of the first device and real-time traffic information between the two locations.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2013Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Uri Levine, Ehud Shabtai, Amir Shinar, Yuval Shmuelevitz

Publication number: 20120284755Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward a device, system and method of television broadcasting of live feed from mobile devices. A client application residing on a mobile device allows a user of the mobile device to provide real-time reporting of an event to a central location which is configured to broadcast such live feed. A broadcaster is able to invite a user to provide the live feed. In addition or alternatively, a user is able to propose to the broadcaster that the user, who is located in proximity of a news-worthy event, is willing to commence a live feed. The broadcaster is able to accept or reject the proposal, and modify or negotiate the terms of the transfer of the live feed. The live feed is typically incorporated substantially in real time within a live broadcast.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2012Publication date: November 8, 2012Applicant: WAZE, INC.Inventors: Samuel Keret, Uri Levine, Amir Shinar, Ehud Shabtai, Yuval Shmuelevitz
