Patent Images
1. A computerized method for performing a vehicle inspection, the method comprising:
- obtaining, with a camera, one or more images of at least a portion of a vehicle and a technician proximate the vehicle;
determining, based at least on the one or more images, a real-time location of the technician relative to the vehicle;
determining a section of the vehicle proximate to the technician based at least on the real-time location;
determining one or more vehicle inspection tasks associated with the determined section of the vehicle;
receiving a voice command from the technician, the voice command having an inspection task from the one or more vehicle inspection tasks and an inspection task status; and
associating the inspection status with the inspection task associated with the section of the vehicle proximate to the technician;
wherein the method is performed by a computing system having one or more processors.

Abstract
A dynamic inspection system determines a location of a technician with respect to an inspection vehicle and determines active voice commands to which it responds to based on that location. The technician can perform a vehicle inspection by providing voice commands to the dynamic inspection system, which can increase the technician'"'"'s efficiency. Further, as the dynamic inspection system'"'"'s active commands are customized for the location of the technician, the dynamic inspection system can filter out sound that does not include active voice commands, potentially increasing the accuracy of its voice recognition capability.
