SYSTEM TO DISPLAY USER PATH - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18096357 titled 'SYSTEM TO DISPLAY USER PATH

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a system that displays a user's route over a period of time. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The system displays a map image showing a location.
  • It accesses user profile data, which includes a user identifier and location data associated with the user profile.
  • Based on the user profile data, the system identifies a sequence of locations associated with the user profile.
  • The system then displays a trail indicating the sequence of locations, with the trail ending at the display of the user identifier.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Fitness tracking: The system can be used to track and display a user's running or cycling route over time, helping them monitor their progress and set goals.
  • Travel tracking: It can be used to track and display a user's travel route, allowing them to share their experiences with others or keep a record of their journeys.
  • Delivery tracking: Companies can use the system to track and display the route taken by their delivery personnel, ensuring efficient and accurate deliveries.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Lack of visual representation: The system provides a visual representation of a user's route, making it easier for them to understand and analyze their movements.
  • Difficulty in tracking multiple locations: The system identifies and displays a sequence of locations, making it convenient to track and visualize the user's route.
  • Limited user identification: By displaying the user identifier at the end of the trail, the system ensures that the user's identity is clearly associated with their route.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced tracking and analysis: Users can easily track and analyze their routes over time, helping them improve their performance or gain insights from their movements.
  • Improved communication: The system allows users to share their routes with others, facilitating communication and sharing of experiences.
  • Efficient logistics management: Companies can use the system to optimize delivery routes and monitor the movements of their personnel, leading to improved efficiency and customer satisfaction.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system to display a route of a user over a period of time is configured to perform operations that include: causing display of a map image that depicts a location; accessing user profile data associated with a user profile, the user profile data comprising a user identifier and location data associated with the user profile; identifying a sequence of locations associated with the user profile based on the user profile data; and causing display of a presentation of a trail indicating the sequence of locations associated with the user profile, the trail terminating at a display of the user identifier.
