  • Patent number: 12288230
    Abstract: To increase the efficiency of a used vehicle data processing process while still tailoring to an individual user's unique specifications on a used vehicle, at least some pre-calculations are performed by a backend process before a request for data for a specified vehicle is received through a web site or a web server on the Internet. A user can be presented with an interface where the user can make a variety of determinations. After the user requests data on a specific vehicle configuration, a frontend process handles user-provided data in conjunction with the data calculated in the backend process to ensure that the results are better tailored to the user's specific vehicle attributes. The results can include pricing data such as a trade-in price, a list price, an expected sale price or range of sale prices, market low sale price, market average sale price, market high sale price, etc.

  • Patent number: 12287797
    Abstract: The present technology provides for facilitating efficient identification of relevant metrics. In one embodiment, a set of candidate metrics for which to determine relevance to a user is identified. For each candidate metric, a set of distribution parameters is determined, including a first distribution parameter based on implicit positive feedback associated with the metric and usage data associated with the metric and a second distribution parameter based on the usage data associated with the metric. Such usage data can efficiently facilitate identifying relevance even with an absence of negative feedback. Using the set of distribution parameters, a corresponding distribution is generated. Each distribution can then be sampled to identify a relevance score for each candidate metric indicating an extent of relevance of the corresponding metric. Based on the relevance scores for each candidate metric, a candidate metric is designated as relevant to the user.

  • Patent number: 12277568
    Abstract: A vehicle data system receives a lead submission through a website supported by the vehicle data system and determines, utilizing a machine learning model, a user value for a lead associated with the lead submission. The user value represents a probability of the lead purchasing a vehicle from a dealer through the website. The vehicle data system determines a user lifetime value for the lead based at least on the user value for the lead. Subsequently, the vehicle data system obtains clickstream identifiers from a search engine and assigns a corresponding user lifetime value to each clickstream identifier. The vehicle data system aggregates the clickstream identifiers and corresponding user lifetime values in a single file and communicates the single file to a search server for consumption. The user lifetime values are utilized by the search engine in search engine marketing processes.

  • Patent number: 12277406
    Abstract: Traditionally, a software application is developed, tested, and then published for use by end users. Any subsequent update made to the software application is generally in the form of a human programmed modification made to the code in the software application itself, and further only becomes usable once tested, published, and installed by end users having the previous version of the software application. This typical software application lifecycle causes delays in not only generating improvements to software applications, but also to those improvements being made accessible to end users. To help avoid these delays and improve performance of software applications, deep learning models may be made accessible to the software applications for use in providing inferenced data to the software applications, which the software applications may then use as desired. These deep learning models can furthermore be improved independently of the software applications using manual and/or automated processes.

  • Patent number: 12236401
    Abstract: An information exchange platform referred to as a Trading Grid (TG) may perform relationship-based data processing utilizing a trading partner (TP) graph that describes relationships amongst operating units (OUs) on the TG. When the TG receives a request from an OU to exchange data with a TP, the TG accesses the TP graph and determines a relationship between the OU and their TP as reflected in the TP graph. The TP graph is maintained and controlled by the system independently of the OU and the TP. The TG may route the data based on instructions associated with the relationship that is reflected in the TP graph. The instructions associated with the relationship may specify network based services provided by the TG. An orchestration component may operate to orchestrate the performance of the network based services. The TG then communicates the processed and/or produced data to the TP.

  • Patent number: 12229807
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically detecting, classifying, and processing objects captured in an images or videos are provided. In one embodiment, the system receives an image from an image source and detects one or more objects in the image. The system performs a high-level classification of the one or more objects in the image. The system performs a specific classification of the one or more objects, determines a price of the one or more objects, and generates a pricing report comprising a price of the one or more objects. In another embodiment, the system captures at least one image or video frame and classifies an object present in the image or video frame using a neural network. The system adds the classified object and an assigned object code to an inventory and processes the inventory to assign the classified object a price.

  • Patent number: 12229761
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing non-fungible tokens (NFT) as a mechanism for verifying ownership of payment instruments such as stored value payment instruments. First, a computing device can receive a purchase notification, the purchase notification indicating that a first user has purchased a stored value payment instrument. Then, the computing device can create a non-fungible token (NFT) on a distributed data store in response to receipt of the purchase notification. Next, the computing device can associate a unique identifier of the NFT with the stored value payment instrument. Subsequently, the computing device can receive a first public key associated with the first user. Then, the computing device can update an owner identifier of the NFT with the first public key associated with the first user.

    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to, in part, mobile carts that are configured to determine their respective locations based on analysis of image data generated by cameras mounted to the respective carts. For instance, an example mobile cart may include at least one camera of a field-of-view directed substantially away from a cart and substantially towards an outward environment of the cart, such as toward an inventory location that houses one or more items. The mobile cart may generate image data representative of items housed at an inventory location adjacent to the cart and may use computer-vision techniques to analyze the image data and determine characteristics of these items. The mobile cart may then use this information to determine which section of multiple sections of a store in which the cart is currently located.
