Publication number: 20230229152Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing platforms that utilize improved techniques for dynamic event verification. A computing platform may receive first source data comprising driving data associated with a vehicle over a time period. Based on the first source data, the computing device may determine that the vehicle experienced an event, resulting in an event output. In response to determining the event output, the computing device may generate a request for second source data associated with the vehicle over the time period. The computing device may receive, from a sensor device, the second source data. Based on a comparison of the first source data to the second source data, the computing platform may determine an event comparison output. The computing platform may determine that the event comparison output exceeds a predetermined comparison threshold, and may send an indication of an event in response.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventor: Emad S.

Patent number: 8996898Abstract: This disclosure relates to an alarm-based power saving mode and associated system implemented on a device for a microprocessor or a telematics circuitry, and more particularly, to an alarm and powered-up microprocessor-driven power latch for disabling a power source to a microprocessor or telematics circuitry at a power switch. A microprocessor and/or telematics circuitry are powered down by an instruction step from the microprocessor or the telematics circuitry by using a power switch to cut off power. The switch is controlled by a power latch, which is regulated by a wake-up value given to an alarm to enable the power latch and exercise power switch control, as well as by a value given directly by the microprocessor to enter the powered down mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2012Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: The Morey CorporationInventors: Michael E.
