  • Patent number: 11093563
    Abstract: A computer system is provided that includes a server configured to store a plurality of location accounts, each location account being associated with a physical space at a recorded geospatial location. The plurality of location accounts utilize shared data definitions of a physical space parameter. Each physical space is equipped with a corresponding on-premise sensor configured to detect measured values for the physical space parameter over time and send to the server a data stream indicating the measured values. The computer system further includes a network portal, via which an authorized user for a location account can selectively choose whether to share the measured values or a summary thereof with other location accounts via the network portal.

  • Patent number: 10929561
    Abstract: A device for removal of personally identifiable data receives monitoring data acquired by a sensor. The monitoring data including personally identifiable data relating to one or more individuals being monitored. The system processes the acquired monitoring data to remove the personally identifiable data by at least one of abstraction or redaction while the monitoring data is located on the device. The processed monitoring data having the personally identifiable data removed can thereby be transmitted external to the device with reduced security risk.

  • Patent number: 10748343
    Abstract: A computer device is provided that includes an input device, a sensor device, a display device, and a processor. The processor is configured to detect a physical object in a physical environment based on sensor data received via the sensor device, measure one or more physical parameters of the physical object based on the sensor data, determine a physical behavior of the physical object based on the measured one or more physical parameters, present a graphical representation of the physical behavior of the physical object via the display device, generate a simulation of the physical behavior of the physical object based on the measured one or more physical parameters, receive a user input to modify the one or more physical parameters for the simulation via the input device, and present the simulation with the modified one or more physical parameters via the display device.
