Patent number: 12229884Abstract: A 3D building model generator has a server that constructs a 3D texture model for each floor in a building by extruding a 2D floor plan to 3D using user-inputted heights, and adding photos captured by a smartphone or mobile device as textures to image planes for surfaces in the 3D model. The server displays on the smartphone a floor-plan portion, or a virtual 3D display based on the camera orientation with a facing wall highlighted and confirmed by a smartphone user. The user moves mapping points overlaid upon the photo to wall corners to map the photo to the facing surface in the model. The user flags rooms and exits such as doors and elevators as walkable. The server stacks the 3D texture model for the floors and connects them into a walkable network of the rooms and exits that are flagged as walkable. Hashing removes duplicate floorplans.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2024Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company LimitedInventors: Tak Wing Lam, Tak Fuk Wong, Ka Wah Wong, Kwok Fai Ng

Patent number: 12135824Abstract: Systems and methods which provide for auditable data are described. Data management systems of embodiments facilitate storage and management of various data (e.g., information regarding transactions, customers, infrastructure, geographic locations, medical records, etc.) for supporting data creation, manipulation, storing, and/or sharing by and among different parties. Users may create new and/or update data, digitally sign the data, and store the digital signature and data on immutable storage using data structures of a data management system. A data structure in which data and associated metadata is stored on immutable storage in association with a digital signature corresponding to the data and user may be used in providing data traceability and auditability. Snapshots of merged data may be implemented with respect to data having many updates to avoid delays in merging update data for queries for that data. A collaborative rating mechanism may provide trust levels with respect to the data.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2022Date of Patent: November 5, 2024Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tak Wing Lam, Kwok Fai Ng, Tak Fuk Wong

Publication number: 20240248826Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting mapping user interface (UI) states for a web document are described. A UI state mapper program may determine a set of interactable elements that are configured to cause a UI state change to a UI of the web document, such as from a configuration for the web document. The UI state mapper program may interact with the set of interactable elements of the UI. The UI state mapper program may generate sets of nodes in a graphical node representation in response to the interacting. The sets of nodes may include nodes of a first node type with a UI state change resulting from a universal resource locator (URL) change and nodes of a second node type with a UI state change resulting from a visual effect on the UI without a URL change. The UI state mapper may generate a computer readable record indicating a sequence of interactions by the UI state mapper program to generate the graphical node representation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2023Publication date: July 25, 2024Inventors: Josh Philip Walker, Wiiliam Hackett, Hon Fai Ng, Dongkun David Kim, Harrison Lee Berrier
