  • Patent number: 11584321
    Abstract: A method and computing system for determining whether a DTC set in a vehicle involved in a collision is collision-related or non-collision-related. The method can include determining a vehicle model associated with the vehicle, determining a DTC set within an ECU in the vehicle, determining a damaged portion in the vehicle, determining the DTC is collision-related, and outputting a collision report that indicates the DTC is collision-related. The determined damaged portion indicates where the vehicle was damaged by the collision. Determining the DTC is collision-related can include determining the damaged portion in the vehicle matches a reference vehicle portion associated with both a component attributable to setting the DTC and the vehicle model associated with the damaged vehicle. The collision report can indicate that a different DTC set by the same or a different ECU in the vehicle is non-collision-related.

  • Patent number: 11409947
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a web-page with a search bar and a first set of card(s) including file(s) of a first set of content files. The method includes transmitting an indication the search bar was selected and receiving tag array(s) associated with a second set of content files. The method includes displaying, within an expanded search bar, tag array(s) including a first tag array associated with file(s) among the second set of files, and transmitting an indication the first tag array was selected from within the search bar, and receiving a third set of content files for populating card(s) on a modified web-page. Each file of the third set of files includes a file most-recently downloaded to a server and associated with the first tag array. The method includes displaying the modified web-page, including a second set of one or more cards including file(s) of the third set of files.

  • Publication number: 20220242351
    Abstract: A method and computing system for determining whether a DTC set in a vehicle involved in a collision is collision-related or non-collision-related. The method can include determining a vehicle model associated with the vehicle, determining a DTC set within an ECU in the vehicle, determining a damaged portion in the vehicle, determining the DTC is collision-related, and outputting a collision report that indicates the DTC is collision-related. The determined damaged portion indicates where the vehicle was damaged by the collision. Determining the DTC is collision-related can include determining the damaged portion in the vehicle matches a reference vehicle portion associated with both a component attributable to setting the DTC and the vehicle model associated with the damaged vehicle. The collision report can indicate that a different DTC set by the same or a different ECU in the vehicle is non-collision-related.

  • Patent number: 11070763
    Abstract: A system includes a processor and a memory storing program instructions. The instructions are executable by the processor to generate a first image file representing a thermal image and a second image file representing a visible light image. The instructions are executable to generate a first blended image based on the thermal image, the visible light image, and a display setting. Furthermore, the instructions are executable to display the first blended image on a display and to transmit, via a network interface to a server having an application for serving an image file generated by the processor, an image file upload. The image file upload includes: the first and second image files and a third image file representing the first blended image or the display setting for generating a second blended image based on the thermal and visible light images and the display setting.

  • Patent number: 10764514
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and computer-implemented methods for controlling a gain state of a thermal camera. According to an example method, a processor can obtain, from a thermal camera, temperature readings for respective pixels of a plurality of pixels of an image captured by the thermal camera, and the processor can determine respective weights for the temperature readings using a weight function. The method can also involve the processor determining a weighted average of the temperature readings using the temperature readings and the respective weights for the temperature readings. Further, the method can involve the processor determining based at least on the weighted average, a gain state for the thermal camera, and the processor causing the thermal camera to operate in the gain state.

  • Patent number: 10623668
    Abstract: A system includes a processor and a non-transitory computer memory storing computer-readable program instructions. The program instructions are executable by the processor to: initiate a web session of an application served by a server, and display a first web page received during the web session. The first web page includes a field for entering search criteria for locating a file associated with a blended image based on a thermal image and a visible light image. The program instructions are further executable by the processor to: display a second web page received during the web session based on search criteria entered into the field, determine, based on an input entered into the second web page, a revision to the file, display the blended image after determining the revision to the file, and transmit, to the server using a network interface, the revision to the file.
