Abstract:
A handsfree device, which is coupled to a data processing device, may be operable to monitor at least one audio stream for occurrence of at least one keyword. Upon recognition of the at least one keyword, the handsfree device may establish a first connection between the handsfree device and the data processing device for launching a voice interface in the data processing device. The handsfree device may send audio data received after the recognition of the at least one keyword to the data processing device, via the first connection for responding to the audio data via the voice interface. During a keyword configuration operation, the handsfree device may send at least one inputted keyword to the data processing device for recording. The handsfree device may receive, via a second connection, the recorded at least one keyword from the data processing device for keyword configuration of the handsfree device.
Abstract:
In one aspect, the present disclosure can be embodied in a method that includes receiving a search query from a user via an interface of a search engine. User-selected options are identified for excluding at least one search category in a plurality of predetermined search categories. Each search category corresponds to one or more query signals and page signals used by the search engine to execute search queries. The search query is executed based on the user-selected options, one or more query signals related to the search query received from the user, and one or more page signals related to each potential result of the search query to be executed. Search results are provided to the user based on the executed search query.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for transferring navigation data are provided. A system includes a map module configured to receive, at a first mobile device, the navigation data for navigating from a beginning location to a target destination. The navigation data includes at least one of the target destination, directions from the beginning location to the target destination, and map tiles covering a geographic area comprising the beginning location and the target destination. The system includes an extraction module configured to determine a portion of the navigation data, which includes at least one of the target destination, directions from a current location to the target destination, and a subset of the map tiles that cover a route from the current location to the target destination. The system includes a communications module configured to transmit the portion of the navigation data from the first mobile device to a second mobile device.
Abstract:
A computer implemented method for assessing road quality using data collected from a mobile device is disclosed. The method may include obtaining travel data associated with a mobile device traversal. The travel data may include acceleration data associated with the mobile device during the mobile device traversal. The method may also include analyzing the travel data according to one or more heuristics. Each heuristic may provide a heuristic metric indicative of whether the mobile device traversal is a human-carried mobile device traversal. In addition, the method may include determining a confidence score for the travel data based on the heuristic metric provided by each of the one or more heuristics and processing the travel data based at least in part on the confidence score, wherein the processed travel data is configured to be used to assess road quality.
