  • Publication number: 20250111385
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a method for intelligent bookout discrepancy detection. The system may receive bookout data from an automotive dealer, which may include dealer-provided vehicle information that includes a dealer price and dealer-listed features. The system may identify a vehicle identification number from the dealer-provided vehicle information. The system may retrieve third-party vehicle information including at least one of a third-party price and third-party listed features from one or more third party sources using the vehicle identification number. The system may aggregate the third-party vehicle information from the one or more third party sources. The system may determine that a bookout discrepancy exists by comparing the dealer price to the third-party price and comparing dealer-listed features to third-party listed features. The system may flag a contract associated with the bookout data for further review.

  • Publication number: 20240305052
    Abstract: A low-profile track system includes low-profile joiner components or devices that releasably couple and electrically connect track segments together. In one example, the joiner device includes a protruding portion configured to fit within corresponding cavity of a receptacle at the end of a track segment. To maintain a low profile, the joiner device can include joiner contacts that exert an outward lateral force that engages with corresponding receptacle contacts disposed in the cavity of the receptacle. The joiner device further includes a secondary or complimentary fastener or connector associated with the protruding portion that releasably engages a corresponding fastener disposed in the cavity of the receptacle, where the complimentary fastener and exerts a force in a direction orthogonal to the outward lateral force.

  • Publication number: 20240291649
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for transferring control of vehicle information. A transfer system may be used to facilitate the transfer. The system may receive a first request for transferring an association of a vehicle from a first user to a second user. The transfer system may generate a first blockchain operation for transferring control of the cryptographic token from a first to second cryptography-based storage application associated with the first user and second user, respectively, wherein the first blockchain operation comprises the second address associated with the second cryptography-based storage application. The system may transmit the first blockchain operation for transferring control of the cryptographic token to the second cryptography-based storage application. In response to receiving an indication of successful blockchain operation from a blockchain node, the system may transmit a command to update first user identification data stored at a link.

  • Publication number: 20240290064
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may receive, from an augmented reality (AR) device, a set of images captured during an AR session. The system may detect a plurality of features included in the set of images. The system may identify an item, from a list of items, that corresponds to the object based on at least one feature of the plurality of features. The list of items may identify one or more characteristics that are expected to correspond to the plurality of features. The system may identify one or more noncorresponding characteristics of the item based on determining that the one or more characteristics do not correspond to the plurality of features. The system may determine a noncorresponding value associated with the one or more noncorresponding characteristics and may provide an indication of the noncorresponding value associated with the one or more noncorresponding characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20240273599
    Abstract: In some implementations, a recommendation system may receive information related to a browser context associated with the client device. The recommendation system may generate a vehicle feature vector that includes an array of elements to represent a plurality of vehicle attributes. The recommendation system may apply a similarity model to the vehicle feature vector to determine a vehicle recommendation dataset that includes a plurality of vehicles that are each associated with a respective set of vehicle attributes. The recommendation system may filter the vehicle recommendation dataset based on a subset of the information related to the browser context associated with the client device that indicates a profile of a user associated with the client device. The recommendation system may provide information related to the vehicle recommendation dataset to the client device for display in an interface of the client device.

  • Patent number: 11137132
    Abstract: A track lighting device includes a clamp assembly having a dual engagement mechanism for coupling to a track. For example, the clamp assembly includes a collar rotatable about a collar axis, and a cam follower having a cam-pin received by a first groove of a cam. The cam also includes a second groove and a first engagement member. The first groove translates a rotational movement of the collar and the cam follower into a linear movement along the collar axis to releasably couple the first engagement member to the track. The clamp assembly also includes a latch assembly having a second engagement member and a latch-pin in communication with the second groove of the cam. At least a portion of the latch assembly pivots about a latch axis based on movement of the latch-pin relative to the second groove to couple the second engagement member to the track.
