  • Patent number: 12256011
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for secure authentication of users using one or more biometric recognition systems are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: receiving an indication that a biometric identifier is to be used to authenticate a user to a service; receiving (i) the biometric identifier of the user from a capture device and (ii) knowledge-based secondary information associated with the user from an input device; determining a Voronoi cell identifier that corresponds to the biometric identifier; calculating a hash of the Voronoi cell identifier and the knowledge-based secondary information; transmitting the hash to a server device for verification; in response to transmitting the hash to the server device, receiving a response indicating whether the hash matches a previously stored hash that was stored in the server device; and determining whether to automatically authenticate the user to the service based on the response from the server device.

  • Publication number: 20250005632
    Abstract: A cloud server receives customer feedback from a vehicle, the received customer feedback including voice data and vehicle data, the voice data including speech recorded by the vehicle from an occupant of the vehicle, the vehicle data including a snapshot of information descriptive of operation of the vehicle. The vehicle data is binned into a category of a hierarchy of categories based on textual content of the speech in the voice data. The received customer feedback is added to maintained customer feedback. A portal application presents a user interface to allow the client device to explore the hierarchy of categories and view the maintained customer feedback filtered to a selected one of the hierarchy of categories.

  • Publication number: 20240152340
    Abstract: The technology involves generating a deliverable image for a product. This can include selecting a set of feature options corresponding to the product and a product operating system; generating a graphical interface that includes a set of input options about the product and a set of input options about the operating system together with linkages between the sets of input options, wherein the interface restricts user selection of linkages between the product and operating system input options; receiving selection of product and operating system input options; receiving selection of linkages between the selected product and operating system options; obtaining a set of artifacts corresponding to the received selections; and assembling set of artifacts into the deliverable image for the product, the assembling including automatically linking components of the product with components of the operating system according to the selected linkages.
