Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include security systems and methods for securing an electronic device. In some embodiments, the security system may include an electronic device including surveillance components, including a microphone and a camera. The security device may be secured to the electronic device in a way that blocks or interferes with one or more of these surveillance components. Additionally, the security device may be placed near or on the electronic device. The security device may also include security components to distort sounds from a sound source to be detected by the microphone. As a result, this may prevent third parties from at least remotely streaming or recording live audio and/or video from various audio and video recording components present on the electronic device.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include security systems and methods for securing an intelligent automated assistant device comprising. In some embodiments, the security system may include an intelligent automated assistant device including a microphone and a camera. Additionally, the security device may be placed near the intelligent automated assistant device. The security device may also include security components to distort sounds from a sound source to be detected by the microphone.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for obtaining location-based data on a mobile device that comprises receiving location data from a RFID tag using the mobile device, transmitting identification data of the mobile device and the location data to a remote system, receiving customized data from the remote system, wherein the customized data are based on the location data from the RFID tag and the device ID, and presenting the customized data on the mobile device.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for locating an entity both within and outside of a structure using an RFID system in conjunction with other location systems and methods. The RFID systems may include a portable RF transmitter/receiver transported by the entity within the structure, a base unit, and a plurality of RFID tags. The methods may comprise the steps of: (a) emitting an RF interrogation signal at constant, predetermined intervals; (b) powering up and emitting a signal containing location data; (c) receiving the location data and broadcasting the location data to the base unit; and (d) receiving and displaying the location data; wherein steps (a) and (c) are performed by the RF transmitter/receiver, step (b) is performed by an RFID tag when the RF interrogation signal is within an effective range of the RFID tag, and step (d) is performed by the base unit.
