  • Publication number: 20230048235
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring a location of a client device associated with a transportation service and generating augmented reality images for display on the client device. The systems and methods use sensor data from the client device and a device localization process to monitor the location of the client device by comparing renderings of images captured by the client device to renderings of the vicinity of the pickup location. The systems and methods determine navigation instructions from the user's current location to the pickup location and select one or more augmented reality elements associated with the navigation instructions and/or landmarks along the route to the pickup location. The systems and methods instruct the client device to overlay the selected augmented reality elements on a video feed of the client device.

  • Publication number: 20210233198
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for detecting non-compliant use of a micro-mobility vehicle, for example, based on parking the micro-mobility vehicle outside of a designated area. In an embodiment, a processor detects that a micro-mobility vehicle shared by a plurality of users has transitioned from an operational state to a parked state, where the micro-mobility vehicle was operated by a user of the plurality of users when in the operational state. The processor determines a location of the micro-mobility vehicle while the micro-mobility vehicle is in the parked state, and evaluates whether it is permissible to transition the micro-mobility vehicle to the parked state at the location. Responsive to determining that it is not permissible to transition to the parked state at the location, the processor updates a profile of the user to indicate non-compliant use of the micro-mobility vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10881290
    Abstract: A system for use in performing ocular examinations, such as convergence and accommodation useful in diagnosing traumatic brain injury (including concussion), includes an assessment device. The assessment device includes a portable carrier having a visual target and a distance measurement component. The system may further include a communications channel and a companion device. The distance measurement component communicates via the communication channel with the companion device. The companion device stores one or more distances measured by the distance measurement component.

  • Publication number: 20200232803
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring a location of a vehicle approaching a pickup location associated with a transportation service and generating composite images for display on a driver client device in response to determining that the vehicle is within a threshold distance of a pickup location. The systems and methods use sensor data from the driver client device and a device localization process to monitor the location of the driver client device located in the vehicle. In response to determining that the driver client device (and thus, the vehicle) is within a threshold distance of the pickup location the service generates one or more composite images by overlaying a stored image of the pickup location with one or more persistent augmented reality elements associated with the pickup location and/or the transportation service.
