Patent number: 11342051Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for automated contact tracing using multiple data sources. In some implementations, a system uses location data generated based on one or more types of signals, such as GPS signals, WI-FI signals, signals from cellular base stations, signals from short-range wireless technology (e.g., BLUETOOTH), and so on. The system also prompts users for information regarding their locations and the conditions present at the locations, either at the time a user is present or later. With this information, the system compares the tracked locations for different individuals to identify instances of contacts in which criteria for disease transmission potential are met, e.g., when two individuals have certain levels of proximity and timing. Detected instances of contacts can be used to inform individuals of exposure to a disease, as well as to notify public health authorities.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: VigNet IncorporatedInventors: Praduman Jain, Josh Schilling, Dave Klein

Patent number: 11224359Abstract: Abnormal motions are detected in sensor data collected with respect to performance of repetitive human activities. An autoencoder network model is trained based on a set of standard activity. Repetitive activity is extracted from sensor data. A first score is generated indicative of distance of a repetition of the repetitive activity from the standard activity. The repetitive activity is used to retrain the autoencoder network model, using weights of the autoencoder network model as initial values, the weights being based on the training of the autoencoder network model using the set of standard activity. A second score is generated indicative of whether the repetition is an outlier as compared to other repetitions of the repetitive activity. A final score is generated based on a weighting of the first score and the second score.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2019Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Huan Song, Liu Ren, Lincan Zou
