METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT A LOCATION WITH IMAGE ANALYSIS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18221636 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT A LOCATION WITH IMAGE ANALYSIS

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a system and method for providing information about a location using image analysis.

  • The method involves retrieving location information and receiving a digital image of a location captured by a user's device.
  • The digital image is then analyzed to detect an identification feature, which helps determine the identity of the location.
  • The capture time of day of the digital image is identified, and a median rate of traffic at that time is determined for the location.
  • Information is calculated based on the median rate of traffic, specifically related to how crowded the location is at the captured time of day.
  • Finally, this information is provided to the user through a display on their device.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and method for providing information about a location with image analysis are described herein. The method can include: retrieving, from a user's device, location information, receiving a digital image of an location captured by a digital camera connected to the user's device, analyzing the digital image to detect an identification feature, determining an identify of the location based on the location information and the identification feature, identifying a capture time of day at which the digital image was captured, determining a median rate of traffic at the establish at the identified capture time of day, calculating information based on the median rate of traffic at the capture time of day, the information related to how crowded the location is at the captured time of day, and providing, by a display on the user's device, the information.
