  • Patent number: 11922618
    Abstract: Methods and system for guiding user data capture during a scan of a vehicle using a mobile device are disclosed. A user may scan a vehicle using a camera or other sensors of the mobile device to capture data from which a three-dimensional virtual model may be generated. During the scanning process, models may be generated and evaluated according to quality metrics. Visual cues may be determined and presented to the user during scanning to indicate areas sufficiently scanned or areas requiring additional scanning to meet data quality requirements for model generation. Damage to vehicle components may be identified by analysis of the generated model, and addition data capture or user annotation entry may be directed based upon the identified damage.

  • Patent number: 11919536
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an evaluation method and system for steering comfort in a human machine cooperative take-over control process of an autonomous vehicle, and a storage medium, thereby avoiding a defect that most comfort evaluation methods are applicable only in laboratory conditions, and also solving a problem that most comfort evaluation methods do not consider non-traditional control characteristics of a driver in a take-over control process. The method of the present disclosure includes: acquiring vehicle data information in a current driving cycle, and preprocessing the vehicle data information to form preprocessed vehicle data information; and using the preprocessed vehicle data information as an input to a well-trained comfort model library, and performing log probability matching calculation on the basis of the comfort model library, to form a comfort recognition result corresponding to comfort.

  • Patent number: 11922471
    Abstract: To automate a pricing strategy for an otherwise unpriced service or item, prices may be generated through a plurality of different pricing models, via a pricing engine passing input data to a plurality of discrete pricing models. Those pricing models may pass data back to the pricing engine, which then adjudicates the results of the pricing models to identify a most-relevant pricing model for the particular unpriced service or item.

  • Patent number: 11915320
    Abstract: A computing system can receive loss information from a computing device of a claimant, the loss information indicating damage or loss to property of the claimant from an event. The system can connect with a plurality of data sources to receive contextual information corresponding to the event. Based at least in part on the contextual information corresponding to the event, the system generates a graphical user interface for a policy provider of the claimant, the graphical user interface providing a set of fraud scores for the loss information provided by the claimant.

  • Patent number: 11915535
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and devices for vehicle mode detection based on acceleration data and location data during a trip detected by mobile devices in a vehicle. According to some examples, location data will be compared to known routeway data to detect a vehicle mode. In other examples acceleration data will be used to calculate the consistency of vehicular velocity during a trip to detect a vehicle mode. In some additional aspects, multiple analyses will be performed on the same data sets to check for false positives with vehicle mode detection.

  • Patent number: 11907379
    Abstract: In some examples, a computing device creates an event log when an event occurs. If the event log includes a path comprising one or more components, the computing device may determine a hash, using a hash function and a salt, for each of the components and substitute each component in the path with an index to the hash stored in a dictionary. In this way, the computing device replaces each component of the path with an index to a hash in the dictionary to create a modified path. The resulting modified path can be traversed and searched. For example, a search term may be hashed using the hash function and salt, and the dictionary associated with the logs searched for a match. In this way, a particular file name or a particular folder name can be identified in the modified path.
