  • Patent number: 11893724
    Abstract: A smart, human-centered technique that uses artificial intelligence and mixed reality to accelerate essential tasks of the inspectors such as defect measurement, condition assessment and data processing. For example, a bridge inspector can analyze some remote cracks located on a concrete pier, estimate their dimensional properties and perform condition assessment in real-time. The inspector can intervene in any step of the analysis/assessment and correct the operations of the artificial intelligence. Thereby, the inspector and the artificial intelligence will collaborate/communicate for improved visual inspection. This collective intelligence framework can be integrated in a mixed reality supported see-through headset or a hand-held device with the availability of sufficient hardware and sensors. Consequently, the methods reduce the inspection time and associated labor costs while ensuring reliable and objective infrastructure evaluation.

  • Patent number: 11893579
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of reducing smart contract fees for a decentralized application (DApp). A parameter of a request reception event and a public key of a user are stored in a task queue of a computation server. The computation server performs a task requested by the user, calls a state change function for the performed task from a smart contract, and transmits a transaction result to the user when the transaction result is returned. The user pays, to the smart contract, a fee corresponding to the generation of the request reception event, and the computation server pays, to the smart contract, a fee corresponding to a state change of the smart contract. Thus, by minimizing and uniformizing a fee to be paid by a user of a DApp system, it is possible to increase accessibility to a corresponding DApp.
