  • Publication number: 20250020597
    Abstract: A system and method for prior and post-image analysis for damage level assessments are provided. An Image-based Prior and Posterior Conditional Probability Learning (IP2CL) system and method is provided for Human Assistance and Disaster Response (HADR) and damage assessments (DA) situational assessment and awareness (SAA). Equipped with the IP2CL, matching prior and posterior disaster/action images are effectively encoded into one image which is then ingested into deep learning (DL) approaches to determine the damage levels. Two scenarios for practical uses are provided: pixel-wise semantic segmentation and patch-based global damage classification.

  • Patent number: 10957002
    Abstract: Various methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for communicating location-based digital components to a mobile and other devices. A natural language processor component can parse an input audio signal to identify a request and a keyword. A content selector can select digital components based on keyword and request. An audio signal generator component can generate an output signal that includes a selected digital components. An interface can transmit the output signal to cause a client computing device to drive a speaker to generate an acoustic wave corresponding to the output signal prior to occurrence of at least one of the first action and the second action.

  • Publication number: 20160071154
    Abstract: A three-dimensional taxonomy server is operative to identify the location of a client device based on three-dimensional positional information received from the client device. The three-dimensional positional information may include global positioning system coordinates, an Internet Protocol address, cellular network information, or any other type of three-dimensional positional information. The three-dimensional taxonomy server may operate in conjunction with another server, such as an advertising server or business search server, to deliver contextual content based on the location of the client device. The contextual content may include a targeted advertisement, a targeted search result, or other type of contextual content.

  • Patent number: 9208512
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for transferring promotional messages to a mobile communication device. A promotional message is generated for display on a mobile communication device. The promotional message is associated with an entity having a physical location. The promotional message has a plurality of different types of content each associated with a different distance between the mobile communication device and a physical location of the entity. The generated promotional message is thereafter stored in a memory. A controller selects and transfers the promotional message to the mobile communication device responsive to a detected distance between the mobile communication device and the physical location. The transferred promotional message displays, on the device, a selected one of the different types of content corresponding to the detected distance.
