  • Patent number: 11171893
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology provide an online and/or offline meeting system that utilizes a “scene” as a collaboration context and/or for collecting and grouping related multimedia based messages exchanged in discussions, and causes the related messages to be presented to participants of an online and/or offline meeting in a cinematic way. When an online meeting is over and the meeting session is ended, participants can still make offline communications using the scene as the collaboration context. Further, the present technology improves user experience in viewing or annotating non-text based content in a chat session.

  • Publication number: 20210300211
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to vehicles capable of autonomous driving. These vehicles may include seats for accommodating different numbers of passengers. In some cases, the seats may be reconfigurable. For instance, a vehicle may include a first row of seating having a first, passenger use configuration. The first row may allow a passenger to sit in a seat of the first row of seating and access user input controls for the vehicle. The first row of seating may also have a second, folded configuration where the first row is in a folded configuration and no longer usable for passenger seating. The vehicle may also have a second row of seating. When the first row of seating is in the second, folded configuration, the second row of seating may still be usable for seating and may include additional legroom for the passenger as compared to when the first row of seating is in the first passenger use configuration.

  • Patent number: 11091156
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a road segment. A set of features associated with the road segment can be determined based at least in part on data captured by one or more sensors of a vehicle. A level of similarity between the road segment and each of a set of road segment types can be determined by comparing the set of features to features associated with each of the set of road segment types. The road segment can be classified as a road segment type based on the level of similarity. Scenario information associated with the road segment can be determined based on the classified road segment type.

  • Patent number: 11064358
    Abstract: A one-time-password authentication method, comprising the following steps: a client establishes NFC with an NFC dynamic token, obtains a token serial number of the NFC dynamic token and a one-time-password from the NFC dynamic token; the client encrypts the one-time-password by using the token serial number and a second random number stored by the client, to obtain a third ciphertext, and sends the third ciphertext, the second random number, and the token serial number to a token server; the client receives an authentication success message or an authentication failure message returned from an application server. By means of the present invention, the one-time-password generated by the NFC dynamic token is obtained by using an NFC channel, and the one-time-password is sent to the token server for authentication. Therefore, errors and leakage caused by a user by manually inputting the one-time-password is avoided, and the security of the dynamic token is improved.

  • Publication number: 20210124350
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can access a plurality of parameter-based encodings providing a structured representation of an environment captured by one or more sensors associated with a plurality of vehicles traveling through the environment. A given parameter-based encoding of the environment identifies one or more agents that were detected by a vehicle within the environment and respective location information for the one or more agents within the environment. The plurality of parameter-based encodings can be clustered into one or more clusters of parameter-based encodings. At least one scenario associated with the environment can be determined based at least in part on the one or more clusters of parameter-based encodings.
