Patent number: 11612045Abstract: Smart switch devices, systems, and methods for modifying an existing electrical system to utilize the power state output of a physical switch as an indicator or signal for the operation of a smart home device or system or network of such devices to facilitate interoperability of physical switches with smart devices. The smart switch detects or determines the power state of a circuit and infers the corresponding state of a mechanical switch that operates the circuit. This information is then transmitted to associated smart devices, which may not be physically connected to the circuit controlled by the switch. When the mechanical switch is operated, it can control both electrically attached loads, such as a conventional light or appliance, and wirelessly control unconnected smart devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2022Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Ivani, LLCInventors: Matthew Wootton, Boris Dieseldorff

Publication number: 20230064871Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting the presence of a body (typically a human) in a network without fiducial elements while additionally using fiducial elements to assist the system and possibly reduce the computational loading on the system. The fiducial element may be used in many ways including, without limitation, assisting in ignoring some bodies present in the detection area and training the system using additional data.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventors: Matthew Wootton, John Wootton, Chris Nissman, Justin McKinney, Saarth Mehrotra, Boris Dieseldorff

Patent number: 11533584Abstract: Systems and methods for confirming the presence of a person or asset for a given purpose, and recording this information in a distributed ledger. The distributed ledger records and confirms presence indicia in connection with a transaction said facilitates remote and/or automated signatures. The systems and methods detect the presence of one or more humans and/or computing devices at a specific location at the time of a transaction, and contemporaneously recording information concerning the transaction in a distributed ledger. Presence can be determined using network presence sensing (NPS), other types of sensors, or the combination of NPS with other sensors.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2019Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Ivani, LLCInventors: Matthew Wootton, Boris Dieseldorff, Justin McKinney

Patent number: 11350238Abstract: Systems and methods for securing an unattended computer. The systems and methods provide an additional layer of security for computer systems by using network presence sensing (NPS) to detect the presence or absence of a user physically present at a computer system and if an authorized user is detected as having departed, taking a security action in response. The response may be to lock the computer, encrypted sensitive data, and so forth. The concept may also be applied at a facilities level, in computing pools, and in other instances physical presence or absence of a user at a computer is indicative of a need for a change in system state. This change could be security related, or could pertain to other resources.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Ivani, LLCInventors: Matthew Wootton, Boris Dieseldorff

Publication number: 20220141944Abstract: Smart switch devices, systems, and methods for modifying an existing electrical system to utilize the power state output of a physical switch as an indicator or signal for the operation of a smart home device or system or network of such devices to facilitate interoperability of physical switches with smart devices. The smart switch detects or determines the power state of a circuit and infers the corresponding state of a mechanical switch that operates the circuit. This information is then transmitted to associated smart devices, which may not be physically connected to the circuit controlled by the switch. When the mechanical switch is operated, it can control both electrically attached loads, such as a conventional light or appliance, and wirelessly control unconnected smart devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2022Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Matthew Wootton, Boris Dieseldorff

Patent number: 11323845Abstract: Indoor positioning systems and methods including a reverse-beacon for location determination and presence sensing technology. The reverse-beacon is any device comprising a transceiver and a computer operating with system nodes and will generally be in the form of a smartphone or other mobile computer. The systems and methods utilize wireless signals of any device that adheres to a general-purpose communication protocol, such as Bluetoothâ„¢ and Wi-Fi, to provide location-based services such as location determination and acting as a ground-truth field for presence sensing systems. The systems and methods operate by passively licensing to wireless communications that take place during the ordinarily course of operation of a wireless network irrespective of the presence of the reverse-beacon.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2019Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Ivani, LLCInventors: Matthew Wootton, Liani Lye, Kevin Zhang, Boris Dieseldorff, John Wootton

Patent number: 11245285Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for modifying an existing electrical circuit to enable a conventional mechanical switch to integrate with and operate smart devices, while also providing continuous power supply and cooperating with external operation of the smart devices (e.g., via a mobile device application, smart controller, etc.). The smart device thus is operable both via the physical switch and via a home automation system, without loss of power to the smart device computer and transmitter components caused by use of the wall switch. This may be done via a replacement switch or faceplate which effectively bypasses the physical switch to ensure continuous power to the smart device while also inferring and transmitting the toggle state of the switch by measuring an amount of current through the faceplate.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2018Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: Ivani, LLCInventors: Matthew Wootton, Boris Dieseldorff
