  • Publication number: 20230359683
    Abstract: A method includes displaying and capturing image data containing an object and accessing a plurality of records related to objects, selecting a record related to the captured object, obtaining an identifier of a vendor of the object of the selected data record, combining the selected data record and the vendor identifier to form a search record, displaying, based on the search record, an augmented reality interface to receive a first interactive action for saving the search record, receiving the first interactive action, saving, in response to receiving the first interactive action, the search record into a searchable data structure, receiving a second interactive action, retrieving, in response to receiving the second interactive action, the search record from the searchable data structure, updating the vendor identifier based on the retrieved search record, and displaying information related to the search record.

  • Publication number: 20230316673
    Abstract: A smart device is provided with an application program for displaying a video feed received from the smart device's camera. The application can determine the coordinates for an intersection point, which is a point on the ground where the smart device is pointing at. The application can display a target on the visual representation of the intersection point. Based on whether the smart device is at an appropriate distance from the intersection point, the user interface can superimpose an indicator on the video feed received from the camera. This can inform the user whether the smart device is at an optimal scan distance from the intersection point (or an object) so that the object can be identified by a machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20220414997
    Abstract: A device including a storage medium storing instructions, and at least one processor configured to execute the stored instructions to perform operations is provided. The operations include displaying on a display screen an interactive scene containing an augmented reality element, receiving input to change display of the interactive scene, and receiving a request to simulate the capturing of image data representing the interactive scene. The operations further include determining a position of the augmented reality element relative to a region defined on the display screen, simulating the capturing of the image data representing the interactive scene, and providing, based on the determined position, an indication of whether the simulation has succeeded.

  • Patent number: 10672957
    Abstract: Light emitting diode (LED) apparatuses and methods having a high lumen output density. An example apparatus can include a substrate with one or more LEDs enclosed by an encapsulant. The encapsulant comprises beveled edges and/or top surface facets. By providing facets in the encapsulant and minimizing the chip-to-area ratio through efficient via placement, a high lumen density is achieved. Facets and bevels can be created by removing material from the encapsulant with a beveled blade.

  • Publication number: 20190278994
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for a photograph driven vehicle identification system. In some embodiments, a system for image-based vehicle identification includes a database, an image processor, and a vehicle search engine. The database can include vehicle information. The image processor may apply one or more machine learning models on images received by a user device. The user device can include a camera that obtains the images. The user device can provide a display having images of a vehicle and information associated with the vehicle through a user interface (UI) of the user device. The display can include a first portion at a first location of the UI, and a second portion at a second location of the UI. The first portion and the second portion may be provided at a single instance. The vehicle search engine may identify one or more vehicles in the images received.
