Patent number: 10343520Abstract: The method, system, and computer-readable medium facilitates monitoring one or more eyes of a vehicle operator during a driving session to generate a plurality of gaze location logs with gaze location values. The gaze location value may be generated by determining a location of the vehicle operator's gaze, determining which area of the vehicle is associated with the gaze location, and assigning the gaze location value based on the area of the vehicle associated with the gaze location. The gaze location logs may be analyzed to determine the duration of the vehicle operator's gaze at each area of the vehicle. Based on the duration of the vehicle operators gaze, one or more recommendations to improve vehicle operator performance may be identified and communicated to the vehicle operator.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2017Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Bryan Allen Plummer, Parker Andrew Brown, Jibo He, Brian M. Fields, Steve Roberson, Steve Cielocha, Jufeng Peng

Patent number: 10343693Abstract: In a computer-implemented method, data about potential vehicle operator impairment is retrieved. The data is generated by monitoring a vehicle operator, the environment ahead of the vehicle, and/or force in one or more directions. A number of impairment scores are generated by analyzing the data about potential vehicle operator impairment. A specific time period during which the vehicle operator tends to be most impaired is determined based on the impairment scores. Recommendations to reduce operator impairment of the vehicle operator are identified and communicated to the vehicle operator.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2018Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Bryan Allen Plummer, Parker Andrew Brown, Jibo He, Brian M.

Patent number: 10163163Abstract: A method includes receiving data about potential impairment of a vehicle operator, wherein the data about potential impairment is generated by: (i) monitoring the vehicle operator with a first optical sensor, and (ii) monitoring an environment ahead of a vehicle operated by the vehicle operator with a second optical sensor. The computer-implemented method further includes assigning a plurality of scores based on the data about potential impairment, wherein each of the plurality of scores corresponds to a respective impairment indicator, and determining an impairment score for the vehicle operator by performing a mathematical operation on the plurality of scores, the impairment score summarizing a level of impairment of the vehicle operator.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2014Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Jibo He, Brian Mark Fields, Steve Roberson, Steve C.

Patent number: 9932042Abstract: In a computer-implemented method, data about potential vehicle operator impairment is retrieved. The data is generated by monitoring a vehicle operator, the environment ahead of the vehicle, and/or force in one or more directions. For each of a plurality of trips, an impairment score is generated by analyzing the data about potential vehicle operator impairment, and determining whether the vehicle operator was impaired during the trip by comparing the impairment score to a threshold value. A specific time period during which the vehicle operator tends to be most impaired is determined based on the determinations of whether the vehicle operator was impaired. Recommendations to reduce operator impairment of the vehicle operator are identified and communicated to the vehicle operator.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2017Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Bryan Allen Plummer, Parker Andrew Brown, Jibo He, Brian Mark Fields, Steve Roberson, Steve Cielocha, Jufeng Peng
