  • Patent number: 12282963
    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein are directed to automatedly generating and issuing accident data gathering recommendations for a vehicle accident occurrence. In response to a recommendation system detecting an occurrence of a vehicle accident, the system can retrieve initial accident data for the occurrence. Using the initial accident data, the system can generate accident data gathering recommendations to obtain additional accident data via mapping to one or more characteristics for the vehicle accident occurrence. The recommendations, when executed, can yield additional accident data that can be compiled with the initial accident data into a vehicle accident evidence package.

  • Patent number: 12253826
    Abstract: Implementations configure hologram interactions with vehicle passengers. A hologram manager can configure a hologram to interact with vehicle passengers, alleviate danger, and/or guide vehicle passengers to safety. The hologram manager can select an input modality for the hologram according to sensed conditions. For example, the hologram manager can determine a state of impairment for a passenger using sensed data and machine learning model(s). The hologram manager can then select an input modality according to the state of impairment. The generated hologram can be configured by the hologram manager to interact with the passenger using the selected input modality. For example, an instruction manager can generate a set of instructions using sensed and/or gathered information, and the hologram manager can configure the hologram to provide the instructions to the passenger using the input modality.

  • Publication number: 20240224149
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for switching cells based on monitoring performance management messages. A network administration module can identify that a user equipment (UE) is associated with a first transceiver in a first cell area. The network administration module can determine that a first periodic message indicative of bandwidth availability within the first cell area has not been received for a threshold amount of time and that the first transceiver is incapable of providing connectivity to the UE. The network administration module can determine that the UE is within a second cell area and that a second transceiver associated with the second cell area is capable of providing connectivity to the UE and provide instructions to the UE to initiate a connection with the second transceiver.

  • Publication number: 20240146775
    Abstract: Templated document stream integration of checklist data includes loading different checklist templates for a generic endpoint in a computing infrastructure, each containing partially filed data and each corresponding to a different security policy hardening the generic endpoint from a cyberthreat. Specific endpoints are then selected in the computing infrastructure and, for each corresponding specific endpoint, a set of checklists generated, each checklist in the set deriving from a different checklist template and including the partially filled data of one of the different checklist templates. Further, remediation data stored in a data store of an enterprise application is merged into each one of the generated checklists in the set. Finally, the enterprise application is updated with respect to the corresponding one of the selected specific endpoints with the different checklists merging the partially filled data and the remediation data.

  • Publication number: 20210300494
    Abstract: Systems and methods for illuminating an electric scooter are described. The systems and methods generate randomized patterns of lights based on movement of the electric scooter, such as in response to vibrations or other forces applied to the electric scooter as it travels through an environment. For example, the systems and methods can receive movement data from one or more vibration sensors of the electric scooter, generate a continuous wave pattern based on the movement data, and cause lighting devices (e.g., addressable LEDs (light emitting diodes)) to emit light in response to the continuous wave pattern. The resulting light, in some cases, is an ever-changing pattern of light and intensity.
