Patent number: 12185039Abstract: A vehicle monitoring system, includes a vehicle database, which includes information associated with a plurality of vehicles. The vehicle monitoring system also includes a sensor database, which includes information captured by a sensor of an observing vehicle, and one or more processors. The one or more processors may generate a request to determine information associated with a target vehicle and to transmit the request to the sensor in response to determining that the information captured by the sensor does not include the information associated with the target vehicle. The sensor captures the information associated with the target vehicle based at least in part on the request. The one or more processors may also receive and store the information associated with the target vehicle from the sensor. Further, the one or more processors may output the information associated with the target vehicle to a computing device.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2021Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Cory A. Matheson, Kade L. Scott

Patent number: 12181872Abstract: A system may include one or more sensors configured to acquire data associated with a driver of a vehicle and a processor. The processor may receive the data and determine whether the data is within a baseline data associated with expected behavior of the driver. The processor may then control one or more operations of the vehicle in response to the data being outside the baseline data.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Kade L. Scott, Benjamin D. Ethington, Richard Daniel Graham, Matthew T. Flachsbart

Patent number: 11788446Abstract: A vehicle liquid testing system includes a liquid testing apparatus with a form factor of a dipstick. The system includes a sensor that detects a property of a fluid in a vehicle and emits a signal indicative of the property. A transmitter receives the signal from the sensor and transmits the signal. A controller receives the signal from the transmitter and compares the signal from the sensor to a threshold level to determine a condition of the fluid.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Zachery C. Lake, Kade L. Scott, Benjamin D. Ethington, Matthew T. Flachsbart, Cory A. Matheson

Patent number: 11505892Abstract: Sensor units that includes a power source, a communication interface, and a sensor coupled to the power source and the communication interface. The sensor is calibrated to connect the power source to the communication interface upon an occurrence of a condition in an appliance. The sensor, thereby, permits the communication interface to transmit data indicating the condition to a computing device. Methods, systems, and apparatus, for monitoring such sensor units.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Matthew Flachsbart, Benjamin D. Ethington, Wayne M. Hartman, Kade L. Scott
