Application: Determining a significant user location for providing location-based services (Patent ID: US20230403530A1)
The patent filed by Apple Inc. describes systems, methods, and program products for providing location-based services to a user based on their daily routine of movement. The mobile device determines significant locations for the user by analyzing historical records of visits and hints indicating user interest in specific locations. It also offers predictive services for calendar items, such as estimating arrival times at locations, and provides various location-related services through an application programming interface (API).
The patent further details operations that involve determining significant locations, predicting future locations based on a state model, storing location data in a state model with entry probabilities, and analyzing patterns for computing devices to determine labels for significant locations. The system allows for configurable frequency thresholds for identifying significant locations, filtering states in the state model based on time and distance parameters, and determining probabilities for future locations based on current time, future time, and current location. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive approach to leveraging user movement data for personalized location-based services and predictive capabilities on mobile devices.
