Patent number: 10635898Abstract: Described herein is a system for automatically capturing images. A device may execute an application on the device. In response to receiving a request for capturing an image of a document, the application may control the operation of the camera to contemporaneously and continuously capture image frames of an area within the field of view of a camera of the device. The field of view may include an object and in turn may be included in the captured image frames. The application may determine whether the aspect ratio and real-world size of the object in the captured image frames corresponds with a specified threshold size and aspect ratio which corresponds with a given document type. In response to determining the object corresponds to the given document type, the camera may automatically extract an image of the object.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2019Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Jason Pribble, Daniel Alan Jarvis, Nicholas Capurso

Patent number: 10635905Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving, from devices in an environment, real-time data associated with the environment. The method may also include determining, from the real-time data, current mapping and object data. The current mapping data may include coordinate data for the environment and the current object data may include both state data and relationship data for objects in the environment. The method may also include determining mapping deltas between the current mapping data and baseline map data and determining object deltas between the current object data and an event graph. The event graph may include prior state data and prior relationship data for objects. The method may also include updating the baseline map data and the event graph based on the deltas and sending updated baseline map data and event graph data to the devices. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2018Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Richard Andrew Newcombe, Jakob Julian Engel, Julian Straub, Thomas John Whelan, Steven John Lovegrove, Yuheng Ren
