    摘要: Architecture that motivates and utilizes users as the means for capturing geographical data of a desired location. The architecture incentivizes users (e.g., large numbers of mobile-phone and mobile-computer users) to provide the data in the form of geolocation information trails and images captured by user devices. Thus, users take multiple pictures, for example, and can validate existing coverage of specific points of interest based on variable needs of the requestor. One motivational technique is by using augmented reality (AR) games, which include shooting targets associated with the point of interest (e.g., a street). Thus, the game can be designed for the data accumulation, which includes visual data. Additionally, the architecture can determine the areas or points of interest for validation and/or additional coverage by comparing live video data to an image database to decide of the need for update.

    摘要: A sequence of events may be planned by drawing on knowledge of existing sequences of events, and combining those events in accordance with a set of constraints. In one example, the sequences of events are events in a social agenda, such as dinner, drinks, movie, etc. Actual social agendas that users have carried out are monitored (with the users' permission), and these events are stored in a database. A sequence of events may be referred to as an existing path. Using the database, a system can respond to a query such as “plan an evening in Seattle,” or “plan an evening in that includes a movie” by querying the database to determine what sequences have already happened, and either retrieving an existing sequence or synthesizing a new one from existing sequences.

    摘要: Embodiments enable the evaluation of injected queries within a monad. One or more operators with closures are received from a first process. The operators with closures represent one or more functions to be applied by a second process. The second process evaluates the received operators with closures to apply the functions within the monad. During evaluation, the second process converts the closures to simply typed closures. Further, the second process binds the converted closures within the monad to restrict execution of the functions. In some embodiments, the queries (e.g., sequences of one or more operators with closures) are composed using a set of query operators from the language integrated query (LINQ) framework encoded in uniform resource locators (URLs) in the representational state transfer (REST) style.

    摘要: Positional information is provided while minimizing the possibility that personally identifiable information can be derived therefrom. Positional information is received in the form of trails that can be aggregated. Individual cells of a grid reflect a quantity of aggregated trails through those cells, an average intensity and direction of movement through those cells, or a more detailed distribution thereof. Alternatively, individual trails are aggregated to an aggregated trail in the form of a line. Further obfuscation of personally identifiable information occurs by resampling aggregated positional information, by introducing false positional information, or by falsely modifying existing positional information, in a manner that does not impact the overall aggregations, and by pruning, or deleting, positional information, especially around sensitive locations, such as a user's home, place of business, or other location that users typically would seek to keep private. Provision of positional information is delayed until a sufficient amount is received.

    摘要: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for creating a hierarchical multi-resolution representation of a curve. That is, a first-level curve (e.g., a relatively lower resolution of the curve) may be represented as a set of points within a first-level curve representation. A non-first-level curve (e.g., a second-level curve associated with a relatively higher resolution of the curve) may be represented as a set of offsets from the first-level curve (e.g., distances along offsets vectors starting from the first-level curve to the second-level curve), which is more efficient than storing complete data sets for different resolutions of the curve. In this way, various resolutions of the curve may be efficiently represented within the hierarchical multi-resolution representation. The various resolutions (e.g., levels) of the curve may also be acted upon or manipulated independently of one another.

    摘要: Providing directions from point A to point B may be treated as an information retrieval problem. In one example, actual routes that are traveled by people are received, and are stored in a database. When a person requests directions from point A to point B, a system searches the database to determine whether a route from A to B exists. If the route does exist, then the route may be provided as directions in response to the request. If no such route exists, then the system looks in the database for routes that have some amount of overlap with each other, and attempts to construct a route from A to B by joining known routes that overlap with each other. Rules may govern the degree of overlap that routes are to have before they can be joined.
