Patent number: 11741723Abstract: A system and method for performing intersection scenario retrieval that includes receiving a video stream of a surrounding environment of an ego vehicle. The system and method also include analyzing the video stream to trim the video stream into video clips of an intersection scene associated with the travel of the ego vehicle. The system and method additionally include annotating the ego vehicle, dynamic objects, and their motion paths that are included within the intersection scene with action units that describe an intersection scenario. The system and method further include retrieving at least one intersection scenario based on a query of an electronic dataset that stores a combination of action units to operably control a presentation of at least one intersection scenario video clip that includes the at least one intersection scenario.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2020Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yi-Ting Chen, Nakul Agarwal, Behzad Dariush, Ahmed Taha

Patent number: 10943154Abstract: Multi-modal data representing driving events and corresponding actions related to the driving events can be obtained and used to train a neural network at least in part by using a triplet loss computed for the driving events as a regression loss to determine an embedding of driving event data. In some cases, using the trained neural network, a retrieval request for an input driving event and corresponding action can be processed by determining, from the neural network, one or more similar driving events or corresponding actions in the multi-modal data.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2019Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Ahmed Taha, Yi-Ting Chen, Teruhisa Misu, Larry Davis, Xitong Yang

Patent number: 10558980Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for an On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) system. Payment and merchant information is stored in a database record for each product in a set of products from multiple suppliers. In response to receiving a request to refund products in the set, the OLTP system may determine the merchant, a number of payments, and the amount of each payment for each product being refunded based on the payment and merchant information in the database record, and trigger payments between the supplier, seller, and buyer. In response to detecting an error, the OLTP system may store a status of the refund processing in the database record and queue the transaction for processing by a call center. In response to receiving a restart request, the OLTP system may retrieve the status data from the database record and restart processing of the refund based on the status data.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2016Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: AMADEUS S.A.S.Inventors: Ahmed Taha Tribak Lyedri, Simon Cognet, Julien Hugol, Arnaud Schwartz, Pierre Cabeza
