Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for depicting information about a vehicle in augmented reality. An exemplary method may include determining identification information of a vehicle based on input received from a client device and obtaining, from an information source, vehicle information based on the identification information. The method may also include analyzing the vehicle information using an artificial intelligence engine and extracting vehicle history data from the vehicle information based on the analysis. The method may also include identifying a portion of the vehicle associated with the vehicle history data and providing instructions, based on the vehicle history data, to an augmented reality-enabled device to superimpose an indicator on a visual representation of the vehicle at a location corresponding to the portion of the vehicle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A system for extracting vehicle information for depiction in augmented reality, the system comprising:
at least one processor in communication with an augmented reality-enabled device; and at least one storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: receiving vehicle information associated with a vehicle; extracting vehicle history information from the vehicle information, wherein the vehicle history information includes accident-related history of the vehicle; identifying, using the vehicle history information, a vehicle portion associated with the vehicle history information that was impacted by an accident, the vehicle portion being a portion of the vehicle; and providing instructions, based on the vehicle history information, to the augmented reality-enabled device to perform operations including: identifying, in an augmented-reality visual representation of the vehicle, a location corresponding to the vehicle portion impacted by the accident, and superimposing an indicator on the augmented-reality visual representation of the vehicle on the location corresponding to the vehicle portion impacted by the accident.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the indicator includes a mark representing a degree of damage severity sustained in the accident.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the indicator includes a first mark that is rendered in a first format different from a second format of a second mark, the first mark representing a first degree of the damage severity and the second mark representing a second degree of the damage severity.

4 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the degree of damage severity is obtained based on a text in the vehicle history information describing the damage severity.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the indicator includes an image.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the augmented-reality visual representation of the vehicle comprises a live image of the vehicle captured by the augmented reality-enabled device.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein a position of the indicator changes based on a real-time change in the live image due to a change in an angle or a position of the augmented reality-enabled device.

8 . A method for processing vehicle information for depiction in augmented reality, the method comprising:
receiving vehicle information associated with a vehicle; extracting vehicle history information from the vehicle information, wherein the vehicle history information includes accident-related history of the vehicle; identifying, using the vehicle history information, a vehicle portion associated with the vehicle history information that was impacted by an accident, the vehicle portion being a portion of the vehicle; and providing instructions, based on the vehicle history information, to a client device to perform operations including: identifying, in an augmented-reality visual representation of the vehicle, a location corresponding to the vehicle portion impacted by the accident, and superimposing an indicator on the augmented-reality visual representation of the vehicle on the location corresponding to the vehicle portion impacted by the accident.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the indicator includes a mark representing a degree of damage severity sustained in the accident.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the indicator includes a first mark that is rendered in a first format different from a second format of a second mark, the first mark representing a first degree of the damage severity and the second mark representing a second degree of the damage severity.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the degree of damage severity is obtained based on a text in the vehicle history information describing the damage severity.

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the indicator includes an image.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the image corresponds to an image of a damage sustained by the vehicle at the location the indicator is superimposed.

14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the indicator includes textual description of the vehicle portion impacted by the vehicle.

15 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the augmented-reality visual representation of the vehicle comprises a live image of the vehicle captured by the client device.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein a position of the indicator changes based on a real-time change in the live image due to a change in an angle or a position of the client device.

17 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium for processing vehicle information for depiction in augmented reality, comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause operations comprising:
receiving vehicle information associated with a vehicle; extracting vehicle history information from the vehicle information, wherein the vehicle history information includes accident-related history of the vehicle; identifying, using the vehicle history information, a vehicle portion associated with the vehicle history information that was impacted by an accident, the vehicle portion being a portion of the vehicle; and providing instructions, based on the vehicle history information, to a client device to perform operations including: identifying, in an augmented-reality visual representation of the vehicle, a location corresponding to the vehicle portion impacted by the accident, and superimposing an indicator on the augmented-reality visual representation of the vehicle on the location corresponding to the vehicle portion impacted by the accident.

18 . The computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the indicator includes a mark representing a degree of damage severity sustained in the accident.

19 . The computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the augmented-reality visual representation of the vehicle comprises a live image of the vehicle captured by the client device.

20 . The computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein a position of the indicator changes based on a real-time change in the live image due to a change in an angle or a position of the client device.
