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: The present invention provides a system and method for tracking an interrogator relay unit disposed on a shopping cart within a store. The method comprises emitting an RF interrogation signal using the IRU; receiving, at the IRU, location data from an RFID tag in response to the RF interrogation signal; transmitting the location data, an identification information of the IRU, and timestamp data to a remote server using the IRU; and generating a behavior report using the transmitted location data, the identification information, and the timestamp data.

Abstract: The present invention provides method for locating an entity within a structure using RFID system including a portable RF transmitter/receiver transported by the entity within the structure, a base unit, and a plurality of RFID tags, the method comprising 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.

Abstract: The present invention provides an RFID system for locating an entity within a structure, the system comprising a portable RF transmitter/receiver transported by the entity within the structure, a base unit, and a plurality of passive RFID tags, wherein the RF transmitter/receiver records the location of an RF tag and broadcasts the location of the RF tag to the base unit.
