    Abstract: In some implementations, a video system may capture, from a camera mounted to a vehicle, a video of a portion of a road on which the vehicle is traveling. The video system may detect, in the video, a driving lane associated with the road on which the vehicle is traveling. The video system may detect, in the video, multiple other vehicles within the driving lane. The video system may determine, for each of the multiple other vehicles within the driving lane, a bounding box that substantially surrounds an image of the other vehicle, resulting in a plurality of bounding boxes. The video system may determine a region in the video corresponding to an area to be driven by the vehicle based on the plurality of bounding boxes.

  • Publication number: 20240249078
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to a hierarchical and explainable (HE) similarity and use thereof. A target text is identified based on a source text. A HE similarity characterizes the similarity between the source and target texts in terms of multiple assessment categories and is computed based on source and target phrases generated via linguistic features. A HE feature vector is constructed with similarity scores at phrase, word, and character levels. The HE similarity is computed based on the HE feature vector and used to determine whether the target text related to the source text. The HE similarity is used to determine whether the target text relates to the source text.

  • Patent number: 12046048
    Abstract: A device may receive accelerometer data and video data for a vehicle and may identify bounding boxes and object classes for objects near the vehicle. The device may identify tracks for the objects and may filter out tracks that are not associated with vehicles or vulnerable road users to generate one or more tracks or an indication of no tracks. The device may generate a collision cone identifying a drivable area of the vehicle to identify objects more likely to be involved in a collision and may filter out tracks from the one or more tracks, based on the bounding boxes, and to generate a subset of tracks or another indication of no tracks. The device may determine scores for the subset of tracks and may identify a track of the subset of tracks with a highest score. The device may perform actions based on the identified track.

  • Patent number: 12047992
    Abstract: A system described herein may monitor, via a Central Unit (“CU”) of a radio access network (“RAN”), radio frequency (“RF”) metrics associated with a User Equipment (“UE”). The monitored RF metrics may be based on communications between the UE and a Distributed Unit (“DU”) that is communicatively coupled to the CU. The system may identify a Multi-Access/Mobile Edge Computing (“MEC”) device that is communicatively coupled to the DU and that provides one or more services to the UE via the DU. The system may resource allocation parameters for the MEC based on the RF metrics between the UE and the DU. The system may instruct the MEC to implement the set of resource allocation parameters.

  • Patent number: 12047502
    Abstract: A user device may determine to back up a hardware key that is associated with a hardware component of the user device. The user device may determine that the user device has an operation key. The user device may retrieve the hardware key from a first data structure that is included in the user device and may encrypt, based on the operation key, the hardware key. The user device may process, after encrypting the hardware key, the hardware key to generate a hash value and may determine that the hash value is not included in a registry of the user device. The user device may transmit, based on determining that the hash value is not included in the registry, the encrypted hardware key to a server device to cause the hardware key to be backed up in a second data structure associated with the server device.

  • Patent number: 12047506
    Abstract: A device that includes a secure element or a secure environment receives a token for authenticating a user that has an account with a service provider. The device generates, based on the token, a set of keys that include at least a private key and a public key. The device performs a key authentication procedure to compare the set of keys and a configured set of keys and selects a public key, of the set of keys or the configured set of keys, based on a result of the key authentication procedure. The device causes a device identifier of the device and the public key to be provided to another device that uses the device identifier and the public key to perform an authentication procedure to authenticate the user.

  • Publication number: 20240244042
    Abstract: A system described herein may receive a message that includes a set of authentication credentials and first message content. The system may determine whether the authentication credentials are valid. When determining that the authentication credentials are not valid, the system may generate second message content by modifying the first message content, and output the message with the modified message content in lieu of the first message content. When determining that the authentication credentials are valid, the system may output the message with the first message content without modifying the first message content. Verifying the credentials may be performed based on attributes of a sender of the message, such as based on determining that a domain of the sender does not match a domain of a recipient of the message.
