  • Publication number: 20230033188
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for identifying a user based on the classification of user movement data. An identity verification system receives a sequence of motion data from a mobile device operated by a target user. From the sequences of motion data, the identity verification system identifies a plurality of identity blocks representing different movements performed by the target user and encodes a set of signature sequences from each identity block into a feature vector. Each feature vector is input to a confidence model to output an identity confidence value for an identity block. An identity confidence value describes a confidence that the movement in the identity block was performed by the target user. The identity confidence value is compared to an operational security threshold and if identity confidence value is above the threshold, the target user is granted access to an operational context.

  • Publication number: 20230026262
    Abstract: An identity verification system determines a communication channel that transmits signals between the computer system and an authentication device by selecting a data link circuit at the computer system. The identity verification system transmits an authentication request received at the computer system to the authentication device via the communication channel and the authentication device validates the authentication request. In response to the authentication device validating the authentication request, the identity verification system measures a proximity of the authentication device to the computer system based on data transmitted through a proximity channel. If the measured proximity of the authentication device satisfies a threshold proximity, the user verification system grants grant the target user access to the to the computer system.

  • Publication number: 20220382845
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for identifying a user based on the classification of user movement data. An identity verification system receives a sequence of motion data characterizing movements performed by a target user. The sequence of motion data is received as a point cloud of the motion data. The point cloud is input a machine-learned model trained based on manually labeled point clusters of a training set of motion data that each represent a movement. The machine-learned model identifies a movement represented by the point cloud of the motion data and assigns a label describing the movement the point cloud. The system generates a labeled representation of the sequence of motion data comprising the label identifying a portion of the sequence of motion data corresponding to the identified movement.

    Abstract: A remotely-controlled (RC) and/or autonomously operated inspection device, such as a ground vehicle or drone, may capture one or more sets of imaging data indicative of at least a portion of an automotive vehicle, such as all or a portion of the undercarriage. The one or more sets of imaging data may be analyzed based upon data indicative of at least one of vehicle damage or a vehicle defect being shown in the one or more sets of imaging data. Based upon the analyzing of the one or more sets of imaging data, damage to the vehicle or a defect of the vehicle may be identified. The identified damage or defect may be compared to a claimed damage or defect to determine whether the claimed damage or defect occurred.

  • Publication number: 20220179982
    Abstract: An identity verification system receives a candidate signal transmitted from a computing device located near a secured asset in response to a target user requesting access to the secure asset. The identity verification system compares the candidate signal to a cluster of signals measured during past successful authentications by the computing device to determine a modulation factor and determines a match probability for the target user based on the determined modulation factor. The identity verification system grants the requesting target user access to the secured asset in response to determining that the match probability is greater than the operational security threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220182379
    Abstract: An identity verification system receives context signals from an authenticating computing device in response to a target user requesting access to a secure asset. The identity verification system identifies candidate locations for the operational context assigned to historical context signals labeled as being measured at a known location and compares the context signal to each historical signal to determine a location of the operational context corresponding to the received context signal. The identity verification system determines a match probability for the target user based on a risk score assigned to the location of the operational received context signal and grants the requesting target user access to the secured asset in response to determining that the match probability is greater than the operational security threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220120060
    Abstract: A computing device generates a graphical user interface displaying a three-dimensional representation of the site comprising a position of a vehicle capable of moving material within the site and a target location within the site for the vehicle to move material. The computing device transmits a set of instructions for the vehicle to move a volume of material from the target location. The computing device receives sensor data describing a depth of the target location, a current volume of material moved from the target location, and a position of the vehicle. The graphical user interface displayed on the computing device is modified to display the current depth of the target location, and the position of the vehicle relative to the target location. The computing device modifies the set of instructions based on the received sensor data and provides the modified set of instructions to the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20220070611
    Abstract: In response to a first user input to a graphical user interface, a computing device generates an initial geofence around a target location in a site. The computing device transmits operations for an earth shaping vehicle (ESV) to perform while navigating within the initial geofence. The computing device receives an indication of an obstacle within the initial geofence detected by the ESV. In response to a second user input via the graphical user interface, the computing device generates an updated geofence that includes the target location but excludes the obstacle. The computing device transmits instructions for the ESV to navigate within the updated geofence.
