  • Most relevant application recommendation based on crowd-sourced application usage data
    Patent number: 10108748
    Abstract: Crowd-sourced localized application usage data is collected from mobile devices at a usage location and sent to a network-based service. The network-based service analyzes the data to determine a single most relevant application correlated to the usage location. Once the most relevant application is determined, a recommendation for the application is sent to client devices operating at the usage location. In some implementations the data is processed to determine whether the usage location is a chained venue, a large venue or an event. Once the usage location has been determined, the most relevant application can be selected for recommendation.
    Type: Grant

  • Navigation system with point of interest harvesting mechanism and method of operation thereof
    Patent number: 8577610
    Abstract: A method of operation of a navigation system includes: generating an extraction job including a crawl task based on a location of a point of interest and a web form type of a website for harvesting the point of interest from the website; receiving a heartbeat from a distributed cache for determining when a client device is available to execute the extraction job; generating an assignment schedule of the extraction job based on the heartbeat for distributing the extraction job to the client device to retrieve a location-based field; and receiving the location-based field associated with the point of interest for displaying on a monitor device.
