Patent number: 11794755Abstract: A system provides on-demand remote support services including teleoperation of vehicles. In response to a remote support request, the system assesses environmental conditions, historical data, and/or parameters of a request for remote support to rank available operators capable of fulfilling the request, and selects an optimal operator for the remote support request based on desired criteria.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Phantom Auto Inc.Inventors: Shay Magzimof, David Parunakian, Michael Kris

Publication number: 20230306852Abstract: A vehicle policy server maintains a set of policies for constraining operations of one or more remote vehicles. The policies may specify areas, locations, or routes that specified vehicles are restricted from accessing based on a set of acquired information. An application programming interface (API) enables programmatic updates of the policies or related information. Policies may be enforced by transmitting control signals fully or in part to onboard vehicle computers or to a teleoperation support module providing remote support to the vehicles using human teleoperators and/or artificial intelligence agents. The control signals may directly control the vehicles or teleoperation, or may cause a navigation system to present known restrictions in a suitable fashion such as generating an augmented reality display or mapping overlays.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Shay Magzimof, David Parunakian, Michael Kris

Patent number: 11675367Abstract: In a vehicle system that can receive remote support from a remote support server (e.g., interfacing with a human or computer teleoperator), a local normalization engine locally normalizes operation of the vehicle based on locally available sensor data that may not be accessible to the remote support server. The local normalization engine applies transformations to control commands received from the remote support server to transform the command to compensate for conditions that are locally sensed and may be unknown to the remote support server. Alternatively, or in addition, the local normalization engine controls auxiliary functions of the vehicle (e.g., by activating one or more auxiliary actuators) that may not be under direct control of the remote support server.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Phantom Auto Inc.Inventors: Shay Magzimof, David Parunakian, Michael Kris

Patent number: 11565420Abstract: A smart container yard includes systems for intelligently controlling operations of vehicles in the container yard using teleoperation and/or autonomous operations. A remote support server controls remote support sessions associated with vehicles in the container yard to provide teleoperation support for loading and unloading operations. Aerial drones may be utilized to maintain positions above a teleoperated vehicle and act as signal re-transmitters. An augmented reality view may be provided at a teleoperator workstation to enable a teleoperator to control vehicle operations in the smart container yard.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Phantom Auto Inc.Inventors: Joe Grundfest, Shay Magzimof, David Parunakian, Michael Kris, Elrom Silvera
