Abstract: A system for determining that a monitored person has experienced an event wherein the event is detrimental to the monitored person. The system comprises a first sensing component for producing a first sensed parameter value representative of a first sensed condition of the monitored person and a second sensing component activated responsive to the first sensed parameter value for producing a second sensed parameter value representative of a second sensed condition. A detecting component receives the first and second sensed parameter values for determining that the monitored person has experienced the event.

Abstract: A system for determining the occurrence of an event and for issuing notifications responsive the occurrence of the event. The system has a first component for storing reference parameters for use in determining occurrence of the event and a sensor for determining real-time parameters that may be indicative of the occurrence of the event. An analysis component analyzes the real-time parameters relative to the reference parameters. If the event is detected a communications component issues a notification to those effected by the event.

Several accessory styles and devices for attaching same to electronics are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and system to verify identity while protecting private data. To locally verify identity without requiring communication with an external database or passing personal/identity information over network connections. To create a database and/or statistical model for later use to verify identify, private information from a first media is input to a device. Private information subsequently presented via a second media is then verified locally by comparing to the private information previously captured from the first media. If the resultant correlation score is sufficiently high the private information from the first media and from the second media are determined to belong to the same individual, and the user is authenticated or a desired action is approved. In case of a low correlation score, a notification may be sent to one or more entities alerting authorities of a security breach or identity theft.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a person's personal preferences. These personal preferences are detected or determining according to several different systems and methods and based on these preferences personal services are provided to the person. Certain embodiments of the invention utilize a “so-called” smart card, including a card with EMV contacts, for determining those preferences and/or for providing services.

Abstract: A method for determining a dynamic pairing code for use in exchanging information between a first and a second communications entity. At the at the first communications entity, determining a first authentication score associated with a first information exchange session between the first and second communications entities, determining a second authentication score associated with a second information exchange session between the first and second communications entities, (the second information exchange spaced apart in time from the first information exchange), combining the first and second authentication scores to create a cumulative risk analysis score, and responsive to the cumulative risk analysis score, generating a dynamic pairing code for use in governing exchange of information during subsequent communications between the first and second communications entities.

Abstract: Systems and methods to authenticate a user using. Techniques for authenticating a user focus less on what the user enters, and more on how the user enters it. Different user specific factors are recognized, such as the speed with which a pattern, drawing or the like is produced, pressure applied, or the area of contact. In some embodiments, the user is able to produce the PIN using several different techniques. Some methods of the present invention utilize actions that the user is familiar with executing, or naturally performs on a regular basis. Furthermore, some methods of the present invention consist of embodiments wherein mathematical operations or device motions are used during the PIN authentication process.

Abstract: A system for authenticating a first entity. The system comprises a storage component for storing a trained electronic-metric factor, a sensor for receiving an electronic-metric input from the first entity, an analysis component associated with a second entity for determining a first relationship between the trained electronic-metric factor and any electronic-metric input, and an authentication component for authenticating the first entity responsive to the first relationship.

Abstract: An electronic wallet system that protects payment accounts, identification and other personal information found within a typical wallet with a secure electronic vault (first) device that can be part of a physical wallet, insert to a wallet, or in other embodiments, wearable/portable devices. A unique biometrically enabled multi-factor authentication process ensures only owners of the information can copy the information to the device or retrieve it thereafter. Authenticated users may then select payment, identification, medical or virtually any private information via touch display or voice command on the vault or on another (second) device that operates in conjunction with the vault. The second device comprises, for example, a programmable card with dynamic magnetic stripe, cell phone, or other wearable technology, that initiates and processes a payment and/or transfer of private information.
