Publication number: 20220180722Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for detecting distracted driving. In an example method, a light source identification procedure may be executed for detecting a first device present inside a vehicle and outside a field of view of a driver monitoring camera (such as upon a dashboard). The procedure can include evaluating an image data sample obtained from the driver monitoring camera so as to identify various devices that may be emitting light incident upon the face of the driver. The incident light may include a first pulse pattern corresponding to light emitted by the first device and a second pulse pattern corresponding to light emitted by a second device. The first device can be detected in various ways such as by evaluating a phase relationship between the first pulse pattern and the second pulse pattern and/or by evaluating spectral content present in the image data sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2020Publication date: June 9, 2022Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: David Michael Herman, Yashanshu Jain

Patent number: 11354054Abstract: Compaction of an ordered event stream (OES) is disclosed. An OES storage system can employing multiple tiers of storage devices, wherein the different tiers each can provide certain advantages and disadvantages that can be used to balance OES event storage costs, both monetarily and in terms of computing resource burden. Compaction can be facilitated by storing, in a stream map, a reference to an event stored via a second tier of storage in contrast to storing in the stream map actual events of a first tier of storage. A reference can be enabled by storing events in a chunk body and storing a location relationships in a header of the chunk. The stream map can then search headers for references, which can often be smaller than the events themselves, which references can then be communicated, stored, and updated in the stream map to facilitate OES compaction.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventors: Mikhail Danilov, Andrei Paduroiu
