A computer-implemented method for determining a quality of driving of a vehicle is presented. Information indicating at least one driving condition may be received from at least one driving condition information indicating device. The at least one driving condition may be different from each of a plurality of driving metrics, and may affect a relationship between the quality of driving and at least one of the plurality of driving metrics. Information indicating the at least one driving metric may be received. At least one indication of the quality of driving of the vehicle may be determined based on the information indicating the at least one driving metric and the received information from the at least one driving condition information indicating device. The at least one indication of the quality of driving may be provided to at least one of the driver, a driving instructor, or an insurance provider.

System and method for determining a quality of driving of a vehicle

A method and system for improving damage assessment by automatic measurement of virtual objects within an augmented reality (AR) representation of a physical environment are disclosed. A user interacts with a mobile computing device to position and resize virtual objects within a virtual space corresponding to a physical environment, which is presented to the user as an AR environment generated by the mobile computing device. The virtual objects are positioned and sized to match damaged physical objects within the physical environment. The sizes of the physical objects are automatically determined using the virtual sizes of the virtual objects, which physical sizes are further used to determine the extent of damage.

Augmented reality system for real-time damage assessment

Disclosed systems and methods incorporate machine learning to assess damage to vehicles. An example method includes: accessing image data representing one or more digital images of damage to a vehicle; selecting, using one or more processors, an applicable machine learning algorithm from a plurality of different trained machine learning algorithms, wherein the plurality of different machine learning algorithms are trained for respective different combinations of one or more of vehicle make, vehicle model, vehicle year, or area of damage; processing the image data, with the applicable machine learning algorithm using one or more processors, to determine assessed damage for the vehicle; accessing actual damage information for the vehicle; determining, using one or more processors, differences between the actual damage and the assessed damage; and iterating, using one or more processors, the applicable machine learning algorithm based on the differences to improve its damage assessment accuracy.

Using machine learning techniques to calculate damage of vehicles involved in an accident

Systems and methods are described for performing blockchain validation of user identity and authority. In various aspects, the blockchain-based validation system includes: a server communicatively coupled to a blockchain-based network; and program instructions stored in a program memory that, when executed by the server, cause the server to: receive a blockchain ID associated with a user, wherein the blockchain ID is associated with a blockchain; aggregate a plurality of blockchain transactions, the plurality of blockchain transactions including at least a blockchain transaction associated with the blockchain; establish, based on the plurality of blockchain transactions, a trust relationship between the user and a second entity; and generate a trust profile for the user and the second entity based on the trust relationship, wherein the trust profile includes a level of trust between the user and the second entity based on the plurality of blockchain transactions.

Systems and methods for blockchain validation of user identity and authority

Systems and methods are described for generating a blockchain-based user profile. In various aspects, one or more blockchain IDs associated with a user is received, where each blockchain ID is associated with a corresponding blockchain. One or more blockchain transactions are identified that are associated with the one or more blockchain IDs, where a trust profile for the user can be generated based on the one or more blockchain transactions. The trust profile can include user information determined from the one or more blockchain transactions.

Systems and methods are disclosed for enhancing and developing a damage scene virtual reality (VR) visualization. Annotated immersive multimedia image(s) may be received from a first user, where the annotated immersive multimedia image(s) can be associated with a damage scene. A VR visualization of the annotated immersive multimedia image(s) may be rendered using a VR device associated with a second user. The VR visualization may be used to determine a damage amount, where the damage amount is determined from one or more damaged items identifiable in the annotated immersive multimedia image(s).

A system for movement-based device control is presented. The system may include a target device and a control device. The control device may be configured to determine an indication of the target device. The control device may also be configured to detect at least one movement associated with the control device. The movement(s) may correspond to at least one control command associated with the target device. The control device may additionally be configured to generate a control signal indicative of the control command(s) associated with the target device based on the movement(s) associated with the control device. The control device may also be configured to transmit the control signal indicative of the control command(s) associated with the target device to the target device based on the indication of the target device so that the target device is controlled according to the control command(s).

Movement-based device control

Systems and methods may incorporate machine learning techniques to evaluate the extent of damage caused to vehicles involved in an accident. The system will receive photos of a vehicle involved in an accident and retrieve data from a number of different sources and use the data to calculate the cost of repair for the vehicle. Data sources can include information of vehicles involved in similar accidents, information of similar vehicles involved in accidents, virtual reality models of vehicles obtained from a database provided by the manufacturer, etc. The system will continuously update machine learning algorithms by comparing calculated damage to actual repair costs and further update the appropriate databases.

Systems and methods are described for performing blockchain validation of user identity and authority. In various aspects one or more processors receive a first blockchain ID and a second blockchain ID, where each of the first blockchain ID and the second blockchain ID is associated with a user and is further associated with a first and second blockchain, respectively. A plurality of blockchain transactions may be aggregated where the plurality of blockchain transactions includes at least a first blockchain transaction associated with the first blockchain and a second blockchain transaction associated with the second blockchain. A first validation event providing a first indication of validity for the user may be identified based on the first blockchain transaction or the second blockchain transaction.

Systems and methods are disclosed for annotating and visualizing a damage scene. In various aspects, one or more immersive multimedia images are generated and associated with a damage scene. The immersive multimedia image(s) may be augmented with annotation(s) to create annotated immersive multimedia image(s). The annotated immersive multimedia image(s) may be visualized using a using a virtual reality (VR) device, where the damage scene and the annotation(s) of the annotated immersive multimedia image(s) can be viewed via the VR device.
