Title: Road segment ranking
Inventor: JEFFREY ADAM SUMMERSON
IPC: G01C21/34
Filed: 2021-06-30
Abstract: Road segments are ranked with danger ratings indicative of how dangerous each of the road segments are to travel. Danger ratings can be determined based upon incident data and factors indicative of how safe or dangerous are each road segment. The danger ratings can be determined and/or updated in real-time as new incident data and/or changes in factors become available. The danger ratings may be personalized for particular drivers and vehicles being driven by the drivers. The danger ratings may be provided to the drivers, such as display through a user interface. For example, a warning may be displayed if a danger rating exceeds a danger threshold, or a visual characteristic of a road segment may be modified based upon its danger rating (e.g., colour or thickness). Thus the device can take into account how dangerous or safe routes are when identifying and recommending what routes to suggest and use for routing drivers to destination locations.

Title: Method, apparatus and system for associating different instances of user engagement with a content provider
Inventor: TANYA FIELD
IPC: H04L67/50
Filed: 2021-07-01
Abstract: A CP 238 supplies content instances (CI) to subscriber devices SD_222a and SD_222b which have the same subscriber. A first CI delivered to SD_222a has a first ID supplied by the CP. A first entity (FE) 226 receives a first message from SD_222a which comprises the first ID associated with the first CI. The FE identifies the subscriber and determines an identifier for them. The FE transmits the subscriber identifier (SI) and the first ID to a Second Entity (SE) 234. The SE stores the first ID in association with the SI. A second CI delivered to SD_222b has a second ID supplied by the CP. The FE receives a second message from SD_222b which comprises the second ID associated with the second CI. The FE identifies the subscriber and transmits the SI and the second ID to the SE. Using the SI the SE associates the second ID with the first ID. The SE provides to a third entity (TE) 240 at the CP the association between the first ID and the second ID. The TE knows the IDs associated with different CI and is thus able to associate different CI to the same subscriber.

Title: Motion tracking using pure tones
Inventor: JULES GOLDBERG
IPC: G10H1/02
Filed: 2021-12-21
Abstract: Motion of a target is detected by a doppler shifted reflection signal ft from one or more transmitted pure tone acoustic signals fo. The motion is detected from analysis of a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of a received signal. Values of the time-variance of energy within adjacent frequency bins in the signal DFT are used, where the emitted tone fo has a frequency at the boundary between the two adjacent frequency bins. Energy in two adjacent frequency bins either side of the transmitted tone may be used to determine motion direction. Velocity may be determined from the centroid of the energy values and displacement of the target may be inferred from velocity and duration. A device used for detecting the motion may be a smartphone with a speaker and microphone. The target may be a user’s hand making gestures to control the smartphone. A slowly moving target can be detected where the doppler shift is within a frequency bin. Applications include gaming, sleep tracking, or emulation of a musical instrument.
