709217, 709203, 707767, 706 21, 706 25, 706 45
Abstract:
A system facilitates automatically determining the hypothetical context information or the distribution of hypothetical contexts. During operation, the system receives a request from a user for one or more recommendations. The system also receives a current context substantially associated with the request. The system then determines a hypothetical context for the request, wherein the hypothetical context may be determined by considering several sources of information, including but not limited to the current context, past contexts, and relationships between the current context and past contexts. Next, the system determines one or more recommendations for the user based on the hypothetical context. Finally, the system returns the one or more recommendations to the user.

Determining User Compass Orientation From A Portable Device

US Patent:
8332180, Dec 11, 2012
Filed:
Sep 3, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/553839
Inventors:
Kurt E. Partridge - Palo Alto CA, US
Kai Kunze - Oberhausen, DE
Maurice K. Chu - Burlingame CA, US
Assignee:
Palo Alto Research Center Incorporated - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G01C 9/00
G01C 17/00
US Classification:
702150
Abstract:
An orientation-determining system determines a person's compass orientation from data generated by one or more sensors embedded within a portable device transported by the person. In some scenarios, the system uses the person's initial orientation to calculate an initial orientation delta describing a difference between the person's initial orientation and an initial orientation of the device. In other scenarios, the system calculates the person's current orientation based on an initial orientation of the device and a known or assumed orientation delta. The system can apply the orientation delta to the device's current orientation to determine the person's current orientation. The system can update the orientation delta based on any changes to the orientation of the person or the device.
