Location data and/or acceleration data of a mobile device may be received. The data may include timestamps. The timestamped data of the mobile device may be compared to timestamped data of another mobile device. Upon determining the timestamped data of the mobile device matches the timestamped data of the other mobile device, joint movement of the mobile devices may be signaled.

Matching multiple devices to identify joint movement of the mobile devices

Location information of each participant in a carpool or other event may be automatically collected at a central server. The location information may be collected based on an ascertained location of a mobile computing device carried by a participant. The location of each participant's mobile computing device may be obtained through the use of location based services. Each participant's device may push geographic location, speed, and/or movement type information (such as whether the participant is walking or driving) to a central system. The pushed data may then be pulled from the central system by the devices of other interested participants. Methods, computer readable media, and devices are provided.

Distribution of location and movement information of meeting participants

User input including a start location and an end location of a desired ride may be received. A database may be searched for completed routes matching the user input. The completed routes may include location information and travel time information associated with the completed routes. Upon identifying one or more matched completed routes, a route proposal for the desired ride may be generated based on the one or more matched completed routes.

Adaptive route proposals based on prior rides

A portable computing device of a carpool participant may include functionality enabling a mobile application executed on the device to detect an appropriate end of a carpool for a respective participant. Once the end of the carpool is detected for a particular carpool participant, the mobile application may automatically generate and present a carpool survey to the participant on the participant's mobile device. The survey may be presented and feedback collected immediately once the carpool has concluded for each participant using movement and/or location based technologies included in the mobile computing device. Mobile computing devices, methods, and computer readable media are provided.

Location-based carpool survey trigger

A database may be searched for prior meetings matching the proposed meeting. Each prior meeting may include attendees of each prior meeting and travel time of each attendee to the each prior meeting. Upon identifying one or more matched prior meetings, a notification for an attendee of the proposed meeting based on travel times of the attendee to the one or more matched prior meetings may be generated.

Adaptive acceleration-based reminders

Location information of each participant may be linked to a reminder system or application on the participant's mobile computing device that reminds the participant of upcoming events, tasks, meetings, and so on. Instead of activating a reminder at a fixed reminder time, location information from location based services may be used to identify a current location of the mobile computing device. The identified current location may then be compared to a meeting, event, or other location and an estimated time to travel between the current location and the meeting location may be calculated. The estimated travel time may be used to identify a time to activate a reminder for the scheduled event so that the participant has sufficient time to travel and arrive on time and within a predetermined time window to the scheduled event.

Location and distance based reminders

An apparatus, method and computer-readable storage medium for determining intent object preferences for locking intent objects, and grouping the intent objects into sets based on the intent object preferences for locking. The sets may contain intent objects with matching preference values for the intent object preferences for locking. Each set may be locked such that only a matcher object associated with the set may operate on the set. The locking may be done in memory, or via a database. The matcher associated with a set may determine whether the intent objects in that set match other intent objects in the set. Multiple matchers may operate on their associated sets in parallel.

N-dimensional locking

Distances between locations traveled by a carpool driver in a carpooling system may be initially estimated by calculating direct, straight line distances between each of the location points. Travel speeds may also be initially estimated using an expected maximum vehicle speed, which may be a maximum speed limit. An estimated travel time may then be calculated from this data to initially designate passengers as eligible or ineligible for carpooling with a carpool driver.

Increasing throughput for carpool assignment matching

Distances between locations traveled by a carpool driver in a carpooling system may be initially estimated by calculating direct, straight line distances between each of the location points. Travel speeds may also be initially estimated using an expected maximum vehicle speed, which may a maximum speed limit. An estimated travel time may then be calculated from this data to initially designate passengers as eligible or ineligible for carpooling with a carpool driver. Cancellation requests received from participants in assigned carpools may be processed to determine whether the carpool may still be conducted. If so, the carpool may continue. If not, the system may search for alternative assignments before sending any cancellation notifications to the participants. Cancellations may be sent only if the system is not able provide a suitable alternate assignment.

Preserving assigned carpools after a cancellation

A system and method for accessing a document management system in a multi-environment processing system includes receiving a client call command from a web service proxy. The web service proxy, disposed on a client and running in conjunction with a client application. A web service end point, disposed in a web service framework receives the client call command. Through the web service end point and a class module, the client call command is converted for accessing the document management system. Retrieved data is temporarily stored in a memory location. The amount of data transfer allowed in a single data transfer is determined. Then, based on this information, multiple web services call are executed to incrementally transfer the data for the client application.

Data transfer in a multi-environment document management system access

A system and method for accessing a document management system in a multi-environment processing system includes receiving a client call command from a web service proxy. The web service proxy, disposed on a client and running in conjunction with a client application. A web service end point, disposed in a web service framework receives the client call command. In conjunction with a class module, the client call command is translated from the second processing environment that the application is executing within and the first processing environment providing the document management system. Through the web service end point and the class module, the client call command is converted for accessing the document management system.
