Abstract: Various embodiments described herein relate to a call management system that aims to provide a more efficient, secure, and dynamic technique for authenticating a user based on a location of the user. A server of the call management system receives a phone call from a user device. The server transfers the phone call to an analyst device. When the analyst device accepts the phone call, the server starts an electronic communication session between the user device and the analyst device. The server then determines a current location of the user. The server further determines a question for authentication of the user based on the current location. The server transmits the question to the analyst device. The analyst device transmits the question to the user device via the server. In response to an answer received from the user device, the server authenticates the user.

Abstract: A user authorization device (or UAD) physically connected to a user's router to aid in the authentication of the user. A bank server polls the user's router to verify that the UAD is connected to the router before granting the user the capability to perform transactions on the user's account that would be otherwise restricted. The bank server implements a set of policies designed by the user that require the UAD to be present for some transactions with the account to be performed. The presence of this device thus adds an extra layer of security to such financial transactions beyond the use of a username and password.

Abstract: A resource tracking system includes a resource storage device with multiple resources and a resource tracking application.

The information can include the type of medical emergency, the location of the user experiencing the medical emergency, and any instructions for providing the user with assistance.

Abstract: When a customer service representative (CSR) calls a customer, the customer may be able to authenticate himself or herself by providing the CSR with personal identifying information. However, the CSR may be unable to provide information to authenticate himself or herself to the customer. Thus, this patent document describes authentication techniques that can allow the CSR to authenticate himself or herself to the customer. For example, before or during a call that the second person (e.g., CSR) initiates to call a first person (e.g., customer), a notification message may be sent to the first person's user device. The content of notification message displayed on the user device may provide information to the first person which can allow the first person to determine whether the second person is trustworthy.

Abstract: A method of inferring the GPS location of a device with a GPS receiver is disclosed. The method includes using signals from two GPS satellites to determine two candidate GPS locations. Geographic information can be used to estimate the probability that the device is at each location. If one of the two candidate GPS locations has a substantially higher probability of being the correct location, that location may be selected as the inferred GPS location. The method may also include making use of additional sensed data that could be provided using sensors onboard the device.

Abstract: A transactional method and system of managing access to API services based on the performance of computational tasks by an end-user is disclosed. The system and method are configured to identify requests from an end-user to an API for services that are associated with a transactional cost. This cost is passed on to the end-user by generation of a computational task assignment to be completed by the client computing system. Once the assignment has been performed, the end-user may be granted access to the requested service.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing wireless traffic among a plurality of IoT devices and an access point is disclosed. The method and system may establish communication among a plurality of Internet of Things (IOT) devices and establish a set of similar IoT devices from among the plurality of IoT devices. One of the similar IoT devices may be designated as a managing IoT device and the remaining IoT devices in set of similar IoT devices may be designated as controlled IoT devices. Wireless traffic from the access point may be transmitted through the managing IoT device to controlled IoT devices. Wireless traffic from the controlled IoT devices may be transmitted to the access point through the managing IoT device. Thus, wireless traffic between the access point and controlled IoT devices is reduced.

Abstract: A system and method for efficiently transmitting signals from a sensing device to a remote device are disclosed. The sensing device includes at least one sensor for sensing information. The sensed information could be associated with heart activity. The sensing device smooths the sensed signal and then calculates the difference between the smoothed sensed signal and a locally stored baseline signal to determine a differential signal, which can be transmitted as a smaller packet of data than the full sensed signal. The remote device receives information associated with the differential signal and uses a local copy of the baseline signal to reconstruct the original smoothed sensed signal.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and apparatus for managing orders and invoices among customers of a retail merchant. The system allows a first customer to establish trusted links with one or more associated fellow customers, thereby authorizing the fellow customers to add purchases to the first customer's invoice. This allows a primary customer to purchase items for a secondary customer under tightly controlled and well communicated conditions, without extra work from the merchant. The system also uses location aware services on customer's smartphones to provide data that enhances the customers' experiences, by triggering prompts to open and close and invoice. The system also uses location aware services to determine which other customers may be in a related party together.

Abstract: A system to create a dehydrating environment from the waste cooling air from a data center including a drying room above the data center. Waste cooling air dries moisture laden product in the drying room and is returned to the data center. Also, a system to distribute waste cooling air from a data center. The system includes a reservoir tank and a local tank for waste cooling air. Both tanks include insulated walls that assist in maintaining a temperature within the reservoir tank. A reservoir tank blower conveys waste cooling air from the data center into the reservoir tank and pressurizes the interior of the reservoir tank. Pressurized waste cooling air from the data center is delivered from the local tank through the blower when a blower valve is opened.

Abstract: A method and system of increasing the security of requests to access funds from a joint bank account by secondary users to permit a primary user to securely regulate fund usage are disclosed. The system and method are configured to link to a bank account and restrict access of funds by secondary users per conditions defined by the primary user(s). A software application receives requests for funds from secondary users for use during a transaction to be performed at a specific merchant location. The application requires geodata that supports the proposed transaction, for example by inclusion of an image taken in which GPS data is embedded. The request will only be conveyed to the primary user if the system determines the embedded GPS data corresponds to the location of the merchant.

Abstract: A method and system of increasing the security of requests to access funds from a joint bank account by secondary users in order to permit a primary user to securely regulate fund usage are disclosed. The system and method are configured to link to a bank account and restrict the access of funds by secondary users per conditions defined by the primary user(s). An application can be accessed via a computing device that receives requests for funds from secondary users and requires the secondary user to also submit a digital image or video that supports their proposed transaction. The request will only be conveyed to the primary user if the necessary digital verification is received by the system.
