Technologies for a harness connected with an integrated wireless transceiver are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, an in-line connector with an integrated wireless transceiver is inserted between a vehicle connector and a trailer connector of a trailer wiring harness assembly. The wireless transceiver connects to a wireless sensor such as a camera and passes the sensor data to the vehicle connector. Connections from the trailer connector designated for video or other sensor data may not be connected to corresponding connections of the vehicle connector.

Technologies for detecting occlusions on a camera of a vehicle by a compute device are disclosed. The compute device may receive one or more images from the camera. The compute device may analyze the images using various algorithms such as optical flow calculations, blurriness detection for portions of the image, edge detection, and circular artifact detection. The analysis may be used to determine the presence of occlusions on the camera, such as water drops, mud, dirt, etc. The compute device may send a command to clean the camera and/or may use the determined presence of occlusions as part analyzing images from the camera for a driver assist system, such as by ignoring portions of the image that are occluded.

A method and a system are provided for constructing album data using discrete track data from multiple sources. In one example, the system identifies one or more set of tracks having a similar album title, wherein the one or more set of tracks are obtained from one or more client devices. The system then searches across the one or more set of tracks for tracks having a matching fingerprint and a matching album title. The system groups tracks that match according to an original album title in metadata to obtain grouped tracks. The system mines across the grouped tracks to generate a juxtaposition of track data from the one or more client devices. The system then generates album data for one or more albums based on the juxtaposition of track data.

Data searching performed by a server system. A query is received to search data stored in an organizing system in which data has been organized from a highest confidence quality tier to a lowest confidence quality tier. Data of the highest confidence quality tier of the organizing system is searched to satisfy the query, wherein searching the data of the highest confidence quality tier is performed before searching data of a lower confidence quality tier of the organizing system.

Structuring and searching data in a hierarchical confidence-based configuration

A method and a system are provided for structuring and searching data in a hierarchical confidence-based configuration. In one example, the system receives data and assigns a confidence quality tier to the data. The confidence quality tier is in a range that spans from a highest confidence quality tier inclusive to a lowest confidence quality tier inclusive. Data of a particular confidence quality tier is configured to be searched before data of a relatively lower confidence quality tier. The system organizes the data in a selected server of a server system according to the confidence quality tier. The selected server is in the range that spans from the highest confidence quality tier inclusive to the lowest confidence quality tier inclusive.
