Abstract: A vehicle adjustment system includes one or more processors configured to receive data from one or more sensors coupled to a vehicle that is in a stationary position. The one or more processors are also configured to analyze the data to determine whether an object is within a buffer zone surrounding the vehicle while the vehicle is in the stationary position. In response to determining that the object is within the buffer zone while the vehicle is in the stationary position, the one or more processors are configured to provide control signals to one or more driving components of the vehicle to reposition the vehicle to an alternate position.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure include a vehicle water detection system that includes a housing configured to be disposed within a vehicle. The vehicle water detection system also includes a water-activated battery disposed within the housing and configured to produce an electrical voltage upon contact with water. The vehicle water detection system further includes an electronic circuitry disposed within the housing and configured to detect a water event occurring in the vehicle based at least in part on the electrical voltage.

Abstract: A system that includes a protective windshield system that deflects particulate away from a vehicle. The protective windshield system includes a sensor that senses the particulate and emits a signal indicative of the particulate. A deflection system deflects the particulate away from the vehicle. A controller couples to the sensor and to the deflection system. The controller detects the particulate and activates the deflection system to deflect the particulate away from the vehicle.

Abstract: A method may include receiving an alert and a recorded data set from a first monitoring system and receiving a first set of permissions from the first monitoring system. The method may also include determining a permission associated with sharing of the recorded data set based at least in part on the first set of permissions. The method may also include determining that sharing of at least a portion of the recorded data from the first monitoring system is permitted based at least in part on the permission and sharing the at least a portion of the recorded data set.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure include at least one building component detection sensor device configured to be deployed within (or proximate to) a building comprised of a plurality of building components. The at least one building component detection sensor device is configured to detect data relating to at least one building component of the plurality of building components. In addition, a building component property determination system includes a processor configured to execute instructions stored in memory to determine one or more properties of the at least one building component based at least in part on the data detected by the at least one building component detection sensor device.

Abstract: A digital camera processing system with software to manage taking photos with a digital camera. Camera software controls the digital camera. A downloaded software component controls the digital camera software and causes a handheld mobile device to perform operations. The operations may include instructing a user to have the digital camera take photos of a check; displaying an instruction on a display of the handheld mobile device to assist the user in having the digital camera take the photos; or assisting the user as to an orientation for taking the photos with the digital camera. The digital camera processing system may generate a log file including a bi-tonal image formatted as a TIFF image.

Abstract: When a customer service representative (CSR) calls a customer, the customer may be able to authenticate himself or herself by providing the CSR with personal identifying information. However, the CSR may be unable to provide information to authenticate himself or herself to the customer. Thus, this patent document describes authentication techniques that can allow the CSR to authenticate himself or herself to the customer. For example, before or during a call that the second person (e.g., CSR) initiates to call a first person (e.g., customer), a notification message may be sent to the first person's user device. The content of notification message displayed on the user device may provide information to the first person which can allow the first person to determine whether the second person is trustworthy.

Abstract: Techniques are described for passive authentication based at least partly on collected voice data of a user. During a speech interaction between a user and a personal assistant (PA) device, the user's speech may be analyzed to authenticate the user. The authentication of the user may be a passive authentication, in which the user is not explicitly asked to provide authenticating credentials. Instead, the speech data of the user is collected during the user's interactions with the PA device, and the collected speech data is compared to a previously developed model of the user's speech. The user is successfully authenticated based on determining that there is sufficient correspondence between the collected speech data and the model of the user's speech. After the user is authenticated passively during the conversation, they may be able to access sensitive data or services that may not be otherwise inaccessible without authentication.

Abstract: Remote deposit of checks can be facilitated by a financial institution. A customer's general purpose computer and image capture device may be leveraged to capture an image of a check and deliver the image to financial institution electronics. Additional data for the transaction may be collected as necessary. The transaction can be automatically accomplished utilizing the images and data thus acquired.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for addressing possible fraud and mistake scenarios in a system for electronically receiving check images from customers and for automatically initiating a deposit of funds into a customer account. An electronic analysis of a check may be conducted to retrieve a check identifier that may be compared against a limited number of previously deposited checks, allowing for faster real-time comparisons. The deposit may be soft-post of regardless whether it is flagged as a potential duplicate, because subsequent more thorough analysis may uncover false positives. Also, transaction and account information can be analyzed to determine if there is a possibility of a check kiting operation.
