Patent number: 10949635Abstract: A package scanning conveyance system that integrates a first two-dimensional image with at least a second two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional point clouds to calculate or estimate a package's physical properties, and/or determine if there are two or more packages in a pile. The captured imaging data is transformed by the inventive system to provide real-time feedback to a human operator to enable the operator to maintain an understanding of the system's performance. The imaging data may also be used to perform quality-checks on other parts of the package delivery and conveyance systems and document the condition of packages that have passed through the system.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2020Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Plus One Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Shaun Edwards, Erik Nieves, Paul Hvass, Joshua Curtis

Patent number: 10915747Abstract: A computing device receives a request to render a listing of item entries on a graphical user interface. The computing device receives an electronic image of the document, analyzes the electronic image, and determines a document type by performing an image recognition on a first portion the electronic image, comparing information extrapolated via the image recognition algorithm to a database of document types, and identifying a match between the extrapolated information a document type. The computing device applies an OCR algorithm that corresponds to the determined document type to a second portion of the electronic image, and identifies items extracted from the second portion. The computing device renders the listing of item entries on the graphical user interface of the user computing device, the listing of items comprising a listing of each item extracted from the second portion of the electronic image.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Shih-Hao Yeh, Navid Samadani-McQuirk, Jack Cameron Dille, Joshua Curtis Hudgins

Publication number: 20190197307Abstract: Modifying graphical user interfaces based on new data obtained from electronic documents comprises a computing system and an image capturing system of a user. The computing device receives a first digital image comprising a first set of data and extracts the first set of data from the first digital image. The computing device populates a list with a first set of data. The computing device receives a second digital image comprising a second set of data and extracts the second set of data from the second digital image. The computing device then modifies the list based on the second set of data. The computing device searches for third party data to associate with items on the list and takes appropriate action based on the association.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2018Publication date: June 27, 2019Inventors: Shih-Hao Yeh, Navid Samadani-McQuirk, Joshua Curtis Hudgins, Jack Cameron Dille
