Patent number: 11127217Abstract: A method, system, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for providing a shared vehicle experience between a user located in a remote location and one or more occupants of a vehicle. A device associated with the user receives an exterior video stream corresponding to an exterior environment of the vehicle, along with occupant information comprising location of the one or more occupants in the vehicle. Based on the occupant information, a first augmented video stream is generated. The first augmented video stream comprises one or more dynamic avatars representing each of the occupants of the vehicle, and shows the exterior environment of the vehicle from a perspective of a virtual passenger of the vehicle. The first augmented video stream is displayed to the user to provide the user with an experience of being in the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Inventors: David Saul Hermina Martinez, Eugenia Yi Jen Leu, Delbert Bramlett Boone, II, Mohamed Amr Mohamed Nader Abuelfoutouh, Christopher Steven Nowakowski, Jean-Patrick Christian Marie Favier, Félix Louis Jean Marquette, Julie Marie Hardouin Arouna, Siav-Kuong Kuoch

Patent number: 11107281Abstract: A method, system, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for providing a shared vehicle experience. The method includes capturing an exterior video stream that depicts an exterior environment of a vehicle, and receiving remote user information indicating a bodily movement of a remote user. The method further includes generating and displaying an augmented video stream comprising a dynamic avatar representing the remote user as a virtual passenger, the dynamic avatar being updated based on the remote user information while the augmented video stream is being displayed in the vehicle. At least a portion of the exterior video stream and occupant information are sent to a computer device that causes, based on the at least a portion of the exterior video stream and the occupant information, a display device of the remote user to output an additional augmented video stream that provides the remote user with an experience of being in the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2018Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Inventors: David Saul Hermina Martinez, Eugenia Yi Jen Leu, Delbert Bramlett Boone, II, Mohamed Amr Mohamed Nader Abuelfoutouh, Christopher Steven Nowakowski, Jean-Patrick Christian Marie Favier, Félix Louis Jean Marquette, Julie Marie Hardouin Arouna, Siav-Kuong Kuoch

Patent number: 11067405Abstract: Image-based analysis techniques are used for cognitive state vehicle navigation, including an autonomous or a semi-autonomous vehicle. Images including facial data of a vehicle occupant are obtained using an in-vehicle imaging device. The vehicle occupant can be an operator of or a passenger within the vehicle. A first computing device is used to analyze the images to determine occupant cognitive state data. The analysis can occur at various times along a vehicle travel route. The cognitive state data is mapped to location data along the vehicle travel route. Information about the vehicle travel route is updated based on the cognitive state data. The updated information is provided for vehicle control. The updated information is rendered on a second computing device. The updated information includes road ratings for segments of the vehicle travel route. The updated information includes an emotion metric for vehicle travel route segments.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Affectiva, Inc.Inventors: Maha Amr Mohamed Fouad, Chilton Lyons Cabot, Rana el Kaliouby, Forest Jay Handford

Publication number: 20210112116Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and methods for determining and reserving an optimized amount of required cloud instance resources in order to provide quality streaming to viewers while also reducing overhead costs. For content providers, the choice of appropriate cloud location to transcode the live streams and appropriate number of video representations to serve the current viewership is a key in minimizing cost. However, this task cannot typically be done on the fly due to the properties of live streaming characterized by its dynamic, heterogeneity and wideness. The provided system helps predict the incoming load and the exact number of resources to allocate at each cloud site to help prevent the content provider from over-provisioning resources, leading to an extra cost, or under-provisioning resources, leading to viewers' dissatisfaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2020Publication date: April 15, 2021Inventors: Emna Baccour, Fatima Haouari, Aiman Erbad, Amr Mohamed, Mohsen Guizani

Publication number: 20210032964Abstract: Artificial lift systems, methods, and apparatuses are described. An example artificial lift system may include a plunger have an energy-storing component to store energy as the plunger descends through a wellbore and release the stored energy as the plunger ascends through the wellbore. The energy-storage component may be a spring. The spring may be compressed in response to rotation of a propeller coupled to the spring. The propeller may rotate in a first direction in response to interaction of the propeller and a liquid in the wellbore as the plunger descends. The spring may expand during uphole movement of the plunger to rotate the propeller in a second direction, opposite the first direction, and assist in lifting the plunger to the surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2020Publication date: February 4, 2021Inventor: Amr Mohamed Zahran

Patent number: 10836313Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are disclosed for providing a mixed-reality scene. In response to a pedestrian detection event at a first vehicle, a sequence of mixed-reality images is presented to a driver of a second vehicle. At least one image in the sequence of mixed-reality images results from merging (a) an image captured by a camera aboard the first vehicle and (b) an image captured by a camera aboard the second vehicle. The merging may comprise de-emphasizing an occluded portion of the image captured by the camera aboard the second vehicle and emphasizing an unoccluded portion of the image captured by the camera aboard the first vehicle. The unoccluded portion of the image captured by the camera aboard the first vehicle may provide, in the merged image, visibility of a pedestrian at least partially blocked from a view of the driver of the second vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Valeo Comfort and Driving AssistanceInventors: Christopher Steven Nowakowski, David Saul Hermina Martinez, Delbert Bramlett Boone, II, Eugenia Yi Jen Leu, Mohamed Amr Mohamed Nader Abuelfoutouh, Sonam Negi, Tung Ngoc Truong
