Patent number: 11816686Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for generating sellability and cancellability scores for selling objects on an electronic marketplace. An embodiment operates by receiving, from a mobile device, an image including an object for sale and determining information associated with the object for sale. Information associated with pre-identified objects is determined from information associated with pre-identified objects, where each of the pre-identified objects corresponds to the object for sale. A sellability score and/or a cancellability score is generated based at least in part on the information associated with the object for sale and the information associated with the pre-identified objects. The sellability score and the cancellability score are further provided to users.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: MERCARI, INC.Inventors: John Alexander Lagerling, Kai Chun Cheung, Byong Mok Oh, Dhruv Mehrotra, Jeffrey Kenichiro Hara

Patent number: 11702095Abstract: A travel controller detects, from an image representing the face of a driver of a vehicle, an act of the driver checking surroundings of the vehicle, records a time at which the act of checking is detected, and suggests to the driver a lane change for the vehicle to change a travel lane to an adjoining lane. In the case that the act of checking is detected in a precheck period before a suggestion time at which the lane change is suggested, the travel controller makes the vehicle execute the lane change regardless of whether the act of checking is detected in a post-suggestion check period after the suggestion time of the lane change.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2022Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yutaro Tsugawa, Kenichiro Hara, Hiromi Nemoto

Publication number: 20220297714Abstract: A travel controller detects, from an image representing the face of a driver of a vehicle, an act of the driver checking surroundings of the vehicle, records a time at which the act of checking is detected, and suggests to the driver a lane change for the vehicle to change a travel lane to an adjoining lane. In the case that the act of checking is detected in a precheck period before a suggestion time at which the lane change is suggested, the travel controller makes the vehicle execute the lane change regardless of whether the act of checking is detected in a post-suggestion check period after the suggestion time of the lane change.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2022Publication date: September 22, 2022Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yutaro TSUGAWA, Kenichiro HARA, Hiromi NEMOTO

Publication number: 20220172065Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, computer-readable storage medium, and method embodiments of automatic ontology generation by embedding representations. A system including at least one processor may be configured to receive a vectorized feature set derived from an embedding and including first and second features, and provide the vectorized feature set to a fuser set including first and second fusers. The system may be configured to generate a representation from the fuser set based on the first and second features, and derive tasks based on the representation, assigning to the tasks respective qualifier sets including a weight value, a loss function, and a feedforward function. The system may be configured to compute respective weighted losses for the tasks, based on the respective qualifier sets, and output a data model based on backpropagating the respective weighted losses through the fuser set, the vectorized feature set, the embedding, or a combination thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2021Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventors: Sho ARORA, Jeffrey Kenichiro HARA, Sahil RISHI, Yu ISHIKAWA, Shotaro KOHAMA, Lu SUN, Vishal KASHYAP, Mohammad-Mahdi MOAZZAMI

Publication number: 20210357955Abstract: Described herein are embodiments for improving search engine results of listings of For Sale Objects (FSOs). A search engine may be improved by implementing rules that resolve ambiguity between listings for different (FSOs) that match the same search inputs. An unsupervised machine learning module may evaluate candidate rules and identify improvements that may not be obvious to a human evaluator. An ecommerce site that combines the improved search engine with the unsupervised machine learning module may dynamically evaluate search results using different candidate rules and iteratively improve search results.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: Sahil RISHI, Manikandan SANKAR, Byong Mok OH, Yodhavee CHUENBUNLUESOOK, Shuichi IIDA, Jeffrey Kenichiro HARA, Stephen JOHNSON

Publication number: 20210016804Abstract: Provided is a driving assistance apparatus (a control unit (100)) for a vehicle capable of hands-off driving that lets a driver take his or her hands off the steering wheel. The driving assistance apparatus includes a processor (10) configured to determine, on the basis of sensor information indicating a state of the driver, whether or not the driver is in a state unsuitable for the surrounding monitoring of the vehicle during the hands-off driving, warn the driver through a notification device when it is determined that the driver is in a state unsuitable for the surrounding monitoring, and notify the driver, through the notification device, of a request for holding the steering wheel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2020Publication date: January 21, 2021Inventors: Kenichiro HARA, Naruhisa YOSHIDA, Kazuhiro TOMOSUE, Shunichiro SAWAI, Naoki NISHIMURA, Takanori KUSAKABE, Tomoyuki YOSHIDA, Shogo KONISHI, Hirofumi MORI
