Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for grading user devices (e.g., mobile devices, smartphones, IoT devices, electronic devices, etc.). Image data associated with one or more portions of a user device may be determined as the user device traverses a conveyor system. The image data may be analyzed and a graphical depiction of regions of the user device where defects are present may be generated to rank, score, and/or grade the user device and/or portions of the user device.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- determining image data associated with a mobile device, wherein the image data is determined using computer vision;
- and
- wherein the image data includes images from at least each of:
- the front, back,
- and sides of a mobile device;
- determining, based on the image data, a type of the mobile device;
- determining for the image data of each the front, back, and each side of the mobile device a plurality of fixed regions, wherein the regions are defined by a grid pattern;
- and
- wherein at least the buttons, lenses, speakers, and microphones are separated into regions separately from the grid pattern;
- wherein the plurality of regions includes the regions defined by the grid pattern and the separated regions;
- determining, for each region of the plurality of regions, a number of defects;
- determining, for each defect a size of the defect;
- determining, for each region of the plurality of regions, a numerical score, wherein the numerical score is based on the type of the mobile device and a combination of the number of defects and the size of the defect;
- determining a total numerical score for the mobile device based on the numerical score of each region;
- converting the numerical score to a letter grade;
- and
- updating, based on the numerical score and letter grade for each region of the plurality of regions, a device profile associated with the mobile device.

- determining, for each mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices, based on the image data, a type of the mobile device;
- determining for the image data of each of the front, back, and each side of each of the plurality of mobile devices a plurality of fixed regions, wherein the regions are defined by a grid pattern;
- and
- wherein buttons, lenses, speakers, and microphones are separated into regions separately from the grid pattern;
- wherein the plurality of regions includes the regions defined by the grid pattern and the separated regions;
- determining, for each mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices, for each region of the plurality of regions, a number of defects;
- determining, for each defect a size of the defect;
- determining, for each mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices, for each region of the plurality of regions, a numerical score, wherein the numerical score is based on the type of the mobile device a combination of the number of defects and the size of the defect;
- determining a total numerical score for each mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices based on the numerical score of each region of the mobile device receiving the total score;
- converting the numerical score to a letter grade;
- and
- updating, for each mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices, based on the numerical score and letter grade for each region of the plurality of regions, a device profile associated with the mobile device.
