International Classification:

G01C 21/00
G06F 17/30

US Classification:

701521, 707748, 707722, 707E17009, 707E17014

Abstract:

A system and method for estimating a place affinity for a user is disclosed. The system comprises a gathering module, a communication module and a scoring module. The gathering module receives a place and retrieves rich place data associated with the place. The communication module retrieves user profile data associated with a user and a place affinity model associated with the user. The scoring module estimates an affinity score for the place using the place affinity model based at least in part on the rich place data and the user profile data.

International Classification:

G06K 9/00
B60W 50/14
B60W 40/08
G06K 9/62
G01C 21/36

Abstract:

In an example embodiment, a computer-implemented method is disclosed that generates a spectral signature describing one or more dynamic objects and a scene layout of a current road scene; identifies, from among one or more scene clusters included in a familiarity graph associated with a user, a road scene cluster corresponding to the current road scene; determine a position of the spectral signature relative to other spectral signatures comprising the identified road scene cluster; and generates a familiarity index estimating familiarity of the user with the current road scene based on the position of the spectral signature. The method can further include determining an assistance level based on the familiarity index of the user; and providing one or more of an auditory instruction, a visual instruction, and a tactile instruction to the user via one or more output devices of a vehicle at the determined assistance level.

G08G 1/0967
G06K 9/00
G01C 21/34

Abstract:

In an example embodiment, a computer-implemented method is disclosed that receives road scene data and vehicle operation data from one or more sensors associated with a first vehicle on a road segment; receives situation ontology data; automatically generates a semantic road scene description of the road segment using the road scene data, the vehicle operation data, and the situation ontology data; and transmits, via a communication network, the semantic road scene description to one or more other vehicles associated with the road segment. Automatically generating the semantic road scene description of the road segment can include determining lane-level activity information for each lane based on lane information and dynamic road object information and determining a lane-level spatial layout for each lane based on the lane information and the dynamic road object information.

International Classification:

B60W 30/00
B60W 40/08

Abstract:

The disclosure includes a method for autocompleting an in-vehicle operation that includes monitoring sensors for sensor data. The method includes determining an occurrence of an initial vehicle operation performed by a user based on the sensor data. The method includes determining a vehicle task from a digitally stored dataset based on the initial vehicle operation. The method includes determining a next vehicle operation to autocomplete based on the vehicle task. The method includes autocompleting the next vehicle operation. The method includes determining whether the vehicle task is complete.

International Classification:

H04L 29/08

Abstract:

The disclosure includes a system and method for provisioning wireless application services in sparsely connected wireless environments. The system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to: estimate journey requirements; generate a current connectivity map based on driving-related data; generate a current connectivity map based on driving-related data; e; estimate services for a current journey; and generate a prioritized list of services and at least one expiration time for one of the services.

International Classification:

G10L 15/07

US Classification:

704244

Abstract:

The disclosure includes a system and method for configuring custom vocabularies for personalized speech recognition. The system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that when executed cause the system to: detect a provisioning trigger event; determine a state of a journey associated with a user based on the provisioning trigger event; determine one or more interest places based on the state of the journey; populate a place vocabulary associated with the user using the one or more interest places; filter the place vocabulary based on one or more place filtering parameters; and register the filtered place vocabulary for the user.
