Patent number: 12001749Abstract: Described herein is a system in which multiple display devices may be located remotely throughout a facility. The system receives location information for a number of users within the facility. The system is able to identify a set of users collocated with a particular display device and generate a set of configuration settings specific to that set of users. Information provided by the system, either in response to an information request or automatically, may be formatted and/or filtered according to the generated set of configuration settings. In some embodiments, the set of configuration settings may be compiled from each of the users in the set of users based on priority.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2021Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: C/HCA, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Doyle, III, Robert Barnett Rhodes, Gina Marie Ragans, Sameer Sunilkumar David, Marne Lynn Owens, David Charles Sanderson, Janet McCallister, Lisa Ann Pitts

Publication number: 20240166047Abstract: A visual guidance system may include a drone having a sensor. The drone may be configured to autonomously position the sensor outside a vehicle with a line of sight to a current path of the vehicle to collect path data. The visual guidance system may also include a controller in communication with the sensor and configured to provide visual guidance to a vehicle operator based on the path data. Example methods of providing visual guidance may include autonomously positioning a sensor outside a vehicle using a drone such that the sensor has a line of sight to a current path of the vehicle to collect path data. Example methods may also include using a controller to determine visual guidance from the path data and provide the visual guidance to a vehicle operator.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Charles Sanderson, Vivek Vaid, Quentin Spottiswoode
