  • Patent number: 12584752
    Abstract: A visual vehicle-positioning fusion system and a method thereof is provided. In the method, an image point cloud map stored in a storage device is converted into a longitude and latitude database corresponding to the image point cloud map. Longitude and latitude measurement coordinates received by a positioning device are used as first location information. The longitude and latitude database is compared with the longitude and latitude measurement coordinates to generate the initial location of a vehicle. Feature matching is performed on the initial location and the image point cloud map to generate second location information of the vehicle on the image point cloud map. The first location information or the second location information is selected as a final positioning output information and outputted based on a positioning fusion rule.

  • Patent number: 12530324
    Abstract: An online document system can allow users to participate in collaborative negotiation of documents stored with in the online document system. To facilitate negotiations between multiple entities (each potentially including multiple users with different roles in the negotiation), the online document system includes a permissions system that allows per-clause control over user's access to propose and approve changes to a negotiated document. Similarly, the user interfaces for viewing a negotiated document provided by the online document system to users can depend on the role of that user in editing the document and the current stage of the negotiation of the document. Finally, the online document system can track agreement between sides in a negotiation on a per-clause basis and can otherwise help facilitate the negotiation of the document.

  • Patent number: 12518553
    Abstract: A method involves detecting primary entities in a document, involving determining that a subset of the primary entities are associated with a first primary entity type, and determining a second primary entity type of one of the primary entities. The method further involves processing the primary entity of the second primary entity type to determine a secondary entity type of the primary entity. The secondary entity type is a subcategory of the second primary entity type. The method also involves hierarchically organizing the primary entities into a document layout structure that includes a top level and a child level. The top level is established by the first subset of primary entities based on the first primary entity type identifying the first subset as headings, and the child level is established by the primary entity based on the second primary entity type, the child level identifying the secondary entity type.
