    Abstract: The present invention pertains to enhancement or refinement of estimated locations based upon user-specific information. Upon user authorization, geographical information is extracted from a number of user-related sources, including the web browser history, search history, maps history, address book, e-mail archives and calendar entries. Such information is used to build a spatial index of specific physical locations for a geocoded result set. From this, heat maps identifying particular locations from the user-related sources are created for different periods of time. The heat maps may be used to refine an initial location estimate of the user. This may be done by determining whether one or more positions in a given heat map provide a more accurate position of the user than the initial estimate. If so, a best position is selected. This can be used to provide enhanced driving directions to the user.

    Abstract translation: 本发明涉及基于用户特定信息来增强或改进估计位置。 在用户授权之后,从多个用户相关来源中提取地理信息,包括网络浏览器历史,搜索历史,地图历史,通讯录,电子邮件档案和日历条目。 这样的信息用于构建地理编码结果集的特定物理位置的空间索引。 由此,在不同的时间段内创建从用户相关源识别特定位置的热图。 热图可以用于细化用户的初始位置估计。 这可以通过确定给定热图中的一个或多个位置是否提供比初始估计更准确的用户位置来完成。 如果是,选择最佳位置。 这可以用于为用户提供增强的驾驶方向。
