  • Patent number: 9781601
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for detecting potentially illegitimate wireless access points may include (1) determining that a computing device has established a connection with a wireless access point that resembles a known wireless access point, (2) collecting a set of network details related to a route from the computing device to a network resource via the wireless access point, (3) identifying a previously collected set of network details related to a route from the computing device to the network resource via the known wireless access point, (4) determining that a portion of the set of network details related to the route via the wireless access point does not match the set of network details related to the route via the known wireless access point, and then (5) determining that the wireless access point is potentially illegitimate.

  • Patent number: 9380429
    Abstract: A disclosed computer-implemented method for assessing levels of personal risk may include (1) collecting, from a computing system, initial information that describes a user at an initial period of time, (2) determining, based on the initial information, an expected state of the user, (3) receiving, from the computing system, additional information that describes the user at a subsequent period of time after the initial period of time, (4) calculating a risk score by comparing the additional information with the expected state to determine a degree of divergence from the expected state, and (5) performing a safety action based on the risk score. The expected state and/or the additional information may each specify a medical state and/or a location. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
