20130181993 | PLACE HEAT GEOMETRIES - A process for determining and labeling areas of interest, including steps for receiving a plurality of data points from a plurality of users, each data point received at a particular time, determining a user location for each of the plurality of data points and generating a heat map from the plurality of data points, wherein the heat map represents a population density distribution over a geographic area divided into a plurality of cells. In certain aspects, the process further includes steps for identifying at least one cluster of cells within the geographic, generating a bounded polygon for the at least one cluster of cells and storing the at least one cluster of cells and its corresponding bounded polygon as an area of interest in a geographical information system. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided. | 07-18-2013 |
20150156610 | Sharing Content - A system and method shares content with third parties based on the location of the third parties at the time the content was created. The third parties with which content is shared are selected by identifying those third parties which were within a zone of geographic proximity around the location at which the content was created at the time of its creation. | 06-04-2015 |
20150160031 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANEUVER-LEVEL CONTEXTUAL FILTERS IN DIRECTIONS - In a general aspect, a method for modifying a geographic route from a starting location to a destination location can include, responsive to a search query, presenting a graphical user interface including a depiction of a route including a series plurality of sequential maneuvers from the starting location to the destination location, where at least one of the series plurality of sequential maneuvers is associated with one or more selectable visual attributes that correspond with static or real-time conditions. The method can also include, automatically retrieving a refined route upon a selection of a first selectable visual attribute of the one or more selectable visual attributes, the refined route having a maneuver of the plurality of sequential maneuvers corresponding with the first selectable visual attribute replaced with one or more different maneuvers and, upon automatically retrieving the refined route, presenting the refined route in the graphical user interface. | 06-11-2015 |
