MUMBAI, India, Sept. 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617082391 A) filed by Google LLC on July 03, 2026, for Air Quality Metrics.
Inventors include Katz, Gabriela, Anat Adler; Levenhaim, Gal; Harel, Yosef, Michaeli; and Fisher, Emil.
The application for the patent was published on September 04, 2026, under issue no. 36/2026.
Abstract: The technology is generally directed to using a collection of consumer devices to create a virtual sensor for a geographic region. The sensors may be air quality sensors. The collection of consumer devices may include small sensors, such as those typically owned and installed by users. Rather than measure the particulate counts of one or more types of pollutants, the data received from the sensors may be calibrated to provide the mass of the pollutant(s) per volume. By calibrating the sensor data and combining the calibrated sensor data from sensors within the geographic region, accurate air quality metrics may be determined. The air quality metrics may be a current or predicted air quality metric. The current and/or predicted air quality metrics may be used to identify a clean navigational route, e.g., a route with a lower expected exposure metric, identify locations for urban planning, or the like.
