Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatuses to detect an item left in a vehicle and to generate an alert about the item. For example, a camera configured in a vehicle can be used to monitor an item associated with a user of the vehicle. The item as in an image from the camera can be identified and recognized using an artificial neural network. In response to a determination that the item recognized in the image is left in the vehicle after the user has exited the vehicle, an alert is generated to indicate that an item is in the vehicle but the user is leaving the vehicle.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- at least one camera configured to have a field of view of an inside of a vehicle;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive first data indicative of a request by a user for a ride in one of a plurality of vehicles of a ride sharing or taxi service;
- detect, based on image data captured by the at least one camera, that the user has left an item in the vehicle;
- and
- transmit, to a device of the user, information.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of a computing device, first data indicative of a request by a user for a ride in one of a plurality of vehicles of a ride sharing or taxi service;
- detecting, by the processor based on image data captured by at least one camera, that the user has left an item in the vehicle;
- and
- transmitting, by the processor to a device of the user, information.
A non-transitory computer storage medium storing instructions which, upon execution by a processor of a computing system, causes the computing system to:
- receive first data indicative of a request by a user for a ride in one of a plurality of vehicles of a ride sharing or taxi service;
- detect, based on image data captured by the at least one camera, that the user has left an item in the vehicle;
- and
- transmit, to a device of the user, information.
