  • Patent number: 10740766
    Abstract: A vehicle weight detection method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, include calculating a first difference between a first expected weight of a vehicle and a first current weight of the vehicle based on On-Board Dash (OBD) input data, calculating a second difference between a second expected weight of the vehicle and a second current weight of the vehicle based on a spring-mass-damper mechanical algorithm using vehicle data received from a user device, and a comparing circuit configured to compare each of the first difference and the second difference to a predetermined weight difference threshold value.

  • Patent number: 10733541
    Abstract: A geolocation data discovery method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, include mining a textual alert message of an event from secure source data for a geolocational indicator, a temporal indicator, and a type of alert, embedding a geolocational tag location and a temporal tag time to the event based on the geolocational indicator and the temporal indicator mined from the textual alert message by the secure text mining, mapping the event with an icon related to the type of alert at the geolocational tag location on a navigational map at a time associated with the temporal tag time of the event, learning a false-positive event by comparing a secure sensor with an unsecure sensor as the secure source data, and removing updates to the icon on the map based on the learned false-positive event.

  • Patent number: 10504041
    Abstract: A geolocation data discovery method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, include a secure text mining circuit configured to mine a textual alert message of an event from secure source data for a geolocational indicator, a temporal indicator, and a type of alert, a geolocation and temporal embedding circuit configured to embed a geolocational tag location and a temporal tag time to the event based on the geolocational indicator and the temporal indicator mined from the textual alert message by the secure text mining circuit, and an event mapping circuit configured to map the event with an icon related to the type of alert at the geolocational tag location on a navigational map at a time associated with the temporal tag time of the event.
