Providing transit information
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- obtaining, by a user device, a state model that includes one or more states, each state representing a stationary location designated as significant to a user of the user device, and wherein each state in the state model is further associated with a time that is significant to the user;
determining a current location of the user device;
predicting, using the state model and based on the current location of the user device, that a first location that corresponds to a state in the state model is a next significant location to the user;
obtaining a current time;
based on the current location of the user device and the current time, predicting, using the state model, that a first time associated with the first location in the state model is a next significant time to the user; and
in response to predicting the first location as the next significant location to the user and the first time as the next significant time to the user, determining an estimated time of arrival (ETA) of a transit vehicle at the first location.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for determining transit routes through crowd-sourcing, for determining an estimated time of arrival (ETA) of a vehicle of the transit route at a given location, and for providing predictive reminders to a user for catching a vehicle of the transit route. A server receives signal source information about wireless signal sources detected by user devices, including information about a first wireless signal source detected by some devices. The server determines that the first wireless signal source is moving. The server determines that the first wireless signal source is associated with a public transit route upon determining that the signal source information satisfies one or more selection criteria. The server stores information associating the first wireless signal source with the public transit route as transit movement data corresponding to the public transit route.

12. A system comprising:
-
a user device that is configured to perform operations comprising; obtaining a state model that includes one or more states, each state representing a stationary location designated as significant to a user of the user device, and wherein each state in the state model is further associated with a time that is significant to the user; determining a current location of the user device; predicting, using the state model and based on the current location of the user device, that a first location that corresponds to a state in the state model is a next significant location to the user; obtaining a current time; based on the current location of the user device and the current time, predicting, using the state model, that a first time associated with the first location in the state model is a next significant time to the user; and in response to predicting the first location as the next significant location to the user and the first time as the next significant time to the user, determining an estimated time of arrival (ETA) of a transit vehicle at the first location. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A non-transitory storage device storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
obtaining, by a user device, a state model that includes one or more states, each state representing a stationary location designated as significant to a user of the user device, and wherein each state in the state model is further associated with a time that is significant to the user; determining a current location of the user device; predicting, using the state model and based on the current location of the user device, that a first location that corresponds to a state in the state model is a next significant location to the user; obtaining a current time; based on the current location of the user device and the current time, predicting, using the state model, that a first time associated with the first location in the state model is a next significant time to the user; and in response to predicting the first location as the next significant location to the user and the first time as the next significant time to the user, determining an estimated time of arrival (ETA) of a transit vehicle at the first location. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
