  • Patent number: 10313340
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying an electronic device user and tracking the electronic device at a docking station is provided. The system includes a CPU, a database containing data corresponding to individual device users, a user identification station, and docking stations. The CPU has access to the database and is communicatively linked to the user identification station and the docking stations. The docking stations have indicators. A device user has an identifying feature corresponding to data for the user in the database. The user identification station is configured to sense the identifying feature of the device user and send this information to the CPU. The CPU is configured to compare the information on the identifying feature to data in the database, and if matching, to instruct one of the docking stations to activate the indicator.

  • Patent number: 9990784
    Abstract: A presentation of visual information relates to an accurate identity of a person. Visible data corresponding to the identity is rendered upon a wearable badge associated uniquely with the person. The rendered visible data are augmented dynamically. The augmentation includes adding a conspicuous indication to the rendered visible data, in real time, that an authorized security credential corresponding to the person is exceeded in relation to a presence of the person in a particular location.
