Patent number: 11961313Abstract: Systems and methods for using image analysis techniques to assess unsafe driving conditions by a vehicle operator are discloses. According to aspects, a computing device may access and analyze image data depicting the vehicle operator. In analyzing the image, the computing device may measure certain visible metrics as depicted in the image data and compare the metrics to corresponding threshold values, and may accordingly determine whether the vehicle operator is exhibiting an unsafe driving condition. The computing device may generate and present alerts that indicate any determined unsafe driving condition.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Dingchao Zhang, Yuntao Li, Jeffrey S.

Publication number: 20240079117Abstract: A method and system may use computer vision techniques and machine learning analysis to automatically identify a user's biometric characteristics. A user's client computing device may capture a video of the user. Feature data and movement data may be extracted from the video and applied to statistical models for determining several biometric characteristics. The determined biometric characteristic values may be used to identify individual health scores and the individual health scores may be combined to generate an overall health score and longevity metric. An indication of the user's biometric characteristics which may include the overall health score and longevity metric may be displayed on the user's client computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Dingchao Zhang, Jeffrey S.
