  • Publication number: 20240086948
    Abstract: A method for predicting fleet utilization or capacity for fulfilling a delivery demand is provided. The method includes receiving vehicle data from vehicles in a fleet of vehicles associated with a location. The vehicle data is related to delivery information associated with the vehicles. The method includes determining, based on the vehicle data, a health status of the vehicles. The health status includes an indication of a health status of one or more components of the vehicles. The method includes generating a prediction of a fleet utilization or capacity for fulfilling a delivery demand based on the health status of the vehicles. The method includes transmitting, based on the prediction of the fleet utilization or capacity, information to transfer a delivery load from the vehicles to other vehicles in the fleet to fulfill the delivery demand.

  • Publication number: 20240086860
    Abstract: A method for predicting and managing a maintenance schedule for a fleet of vehicles is provided. The method includes receiving vehicle data from a vehicle in a fleet of vehicles, and determining, based on the vehicle data, a health status of the vehicle. The health status includes an indication of a health status of components of the vehicle. The method further includes generating a prediction of a maintenance servicing for the vehicle based on the health status of the vehicle, in which the prediction of the maintenance servicing for the vehicle corresponds to a predicted maintenance servicing for at least one of the components of the vehicle. The method further includes transmitting information to schedule an action addressing the maintenance servicing for the vehicle. The schedule is determined based on the predicted maintenance servicing for the at least one of the components of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11904237
    Abstract: A online gaming system provides for presentation on a user device of actionable game-related push notifications. The push notification is presented outside of a game interface and includes both contextual information about a particular game event and one or more action elements. Responsive to selection of a particular action element, a corresponding game-related action is performed with launching or switching to a game application for the game on the user device. Thus, the push notification mechanism provides for performance of a game-related action without receiving user input via a game-specific user interface provided by a corresponding game application executed by the user device.

  • Patent number: 10729979
    Abstract: A system for automated tuning of a computer-implemented game is configured to enable definition of a performance metric indicative of player performance in a computer-implemented game that has tunable gameplay parameters. A performance target is defined that represents target values for the performance metric during progress in the game. The system executes a gameplay simulation using an automated player, and performs an iterative tuning operation based on results of the simulation. The tuning operation automatically determines a suggested value set for the tunable parameters.
