  • Patent number: 11029328
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for classifying a motion state of a mobile device comprising: determining a first motion state associated with a highest probability value and with a first confidence level greater than a first threshold; entering the first motion state; while the first motion state is active, determining a second motion state associated with a highest probability value and with a second confidence level greater than the first threshold, the second motion state being different from the first motion state; determining whether the second motion state is to be entered; and in response to determining that the second motion state is to be entered, entering the second motion state.

  • Patent number: 10810378
    Abstract: A method for decoding a natural language user query involves obtaining the user query submitted by a user, segmenting the user query into words, generating a character embedding for each of the words, and generating a word embedding for each of the words. The method further involves obtaining a clickstream from tracked clicks of the user, generating a clickstream embedding from the clickstream, and for each of the words, generating a unified feature representation based on the character embedding and the word embedding for each of the words, and the clickstream embedding. The method also involves decoding the unified feature representations to obtain a decoded user query, and processing the user query using the decoded user query.

  • Publication number: 20160345165
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication to enable data collection from wireless devices in an efficient manner. An aspect of the data collection approaches described herein may involve determining a smaller group of wireless devices from which to collect data. Determining the group may be performed such that the data collected is representative of the wireless devices as a whole. For example, a statistically significant group of wireless devices may be selected to be statistically representative of the wireless devices of the network. Various criteria may be identified for selecting the group. Such criteria may include a specified technique for selecting wireless devices for the group.
