Title: Model-based machine-learning and inferencing
Inventor: Timothy David Hartley
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2020-05-18
Abstract: Model-based machine learning and inferencing logic for use during a transaction involving exchange of goods or objects such as a sale, loan, hire or rental transaction. Comprising: image input during which image data derived from an image, such as an image captured by a camera, of an object, is received; generating a first classification to classify the object by activating a trained model to analyse the image data; receipt of an object identifier for the object in the image, such as a universal product code (UPC), global trade item number (GTIN), bar code or QR code; generating a second classification which classifies the object according to the object identifier; detecting when the first and second classification do not match; in these cases determining the causal factor(s) in the failure; and where a deficient first classification is the cause providing training input comprising the image data and the object identifier to the model. The parameters of the model may then be modified to improve performance.

Abstract: A system comprises an electronics module 100 arranged to be removably mechanically coupled to a wearable article 200. The electronics module forms a communicative connection with the wearable article so as to receive measurement data from the wearable article when the electronics module is mechanically coupled to the wearable article. The system also comprises at least one processor operable to analyse measurement data obtained when the electronics module is mechanically coupled with the wearable article to determine whether an anomaly condition is present, wherein the anomaly condition is indicative of an anomaly in the communicative connection between the electronics module and the wearable article, and if the anomaly condition is present, trigger a compensation to be applied to obtained measurement data so as to compensate for the anomaly in the communicative connection between the electronics module and the wearable article. The compensation my be a scaling factor to be applied to the measurement data to compensate for anomaly in the communicative connection, which is determined by comparing obtained measurement data to characteristic measurement data, for example specific to a user.

Title: Controller and method for generation of steering overlay signal
Inventor: Robyn Caldwell
IPC: B62D15/02
Filed: 2020-09-09
Abstract: A control system with at least one controller, is provided to control generation of a steering wheel overlay signal to control positioning of a host vehicle, particularly for lane keeping assistance. The system generates a steering wheel overlay signal for steering the vehicle toward a target lane position (step 110); receives a driver intervention signal indicating a driver intervention torque applied to a steering wheel of the vehicle (step 120); and determines a driver intervention torque threshold dependent on an elapsed time since the generation of the steering wheel overlay signal (step 130); typically this threshold decreases as the time increases. The control system mitigates the steering wheel overlay signal if the intervention torque exceeds the threshold (step 150). Suitably, the intervention signal and intervention threshold may each have both a torque component and a duration component. A vehicle, method and computer program are also provided.

Title: Scheduling displays on a terminal device
Inventor: ANDRÉ BROWN
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2020-09-10
Abstract: A method of controlling scheduling of displays presented in response to user inputs from user terminals 10 in a computerised system, the method comprising determining a performance metric for a response 25 by a data processing apparatus 22 responding to the user terminals in accordance with a strategy of scheduling displays when a user input occurs at the terminal. The apparatus comprises at least one processor and at least one memory including a computer program code. A response performance score is computed based on the performance metric and a reference metric representative of a preferred result when responding to user inputs and then it is determined, based on this score, whether the strategy of scheduling displays when responding to user inputs needs a change. The user input may be in the form of a search query 24 and/or web browsing data, and the score may be computed using a ratio of the performance metric to the reference metric. The display 14 of products on the user terminal screens 12 can therefore be prioritised depending on the visiting user browsing the site.
