Patent number: 11906632Abstract: A handheld electronic device, such as a GPS-enabled wireless communications device with an embedded camera, a GPS-enabled camera-phone or a GPS-enabled digital camera, determines whether ephemeris data needs to be obtained for geotagging digital photos taken with the device.

This GPS pre-acquisition improves the likelihood that a position fix (GPS lock) is achieved by the time the photo is taken (to enable immediate geotagging). Alternatively, the photo can be geotagged retroactively by appending the current location to the metadata tag associated with the digital photo. An optional acquisition status indicator can be displayed on a user interface of the device to indicate that a position fix is being obtained.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Piotr Konrad Tysowski, Ngoc Bich Ngo, David Noel Vanden Heuvel

Patent number: 11716419Abstract: Methods and systems for communicating active voice calls within a system that supports messaging functions between a plurality of accounts are disclosed. Active voice calls are identified between a call participant and a first account of a messaging system. A call object is generated for the active voice call having a data structure including call information about the active voice call. A message is received from the first account, the message associated with the active voice call. An object container is generated including the call object and the received message from the first account. The call object, including the message associated with the active voice call, is displayed in a call user interface of the system, providing controls for a second account of the plurality of accounts of the system to interact with the active voice call.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2022Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Scott A. Schwarz, Waseem W. Hashem

Patent number: 11699140Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to determining whether geographic locations of a user computing device satisfy a location consensus threshold. A computer system receives results of a plurality of location determination operations, each of which specifies a geographic location of a computing device initiating an action. The computer system then makes a determination whether the received results satisfy a consensus threshold as to geographic location of the computing device. In some embodiments, the determination is usable to select, from a plurality of sets of rules for different geographic regions, a particular set of rules for processing the action. In some cases, the particular set of rules is usable to determine whether to process the action. Such techniques may advantageously allow a processing system to understand how to process actions initiated by a computing device associated with different geographic locations.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2019Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Bradley Wardman, Nathan Pratt, Ilya Chernyakov, Yotam Perkal, Yuri Shafet
