  • Patent number: 10839062
    Abstract: An approach is provided for configuring one or more mobile devices to one or more services associated with at least one structure based on various contexts, access criteria, and/or security levels. The access platform determines proximity information of one or more devices with respect to at least a first access point, a second access point, or a combination thereof associated with at least one structure. The access platform next processes and/or facilitates a processing of the proximity information to determine one or more roles, one or more accesses, one or more rights, or a combination thereof. The access platform then determines one or more services to make available based, at least in part, on the one or more roles, the one or more accesses, the one or more rights, or a combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 10785630
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for facilitating efficient device discovery. In regards to a method implemented by a master device, a first identifier is received and stored. The method also receives a data packet comprising a second identifier from a particular device and determines whether at least a portion of the first identifier matches at least a portion of the second identifier. The method then, in an instant in which there is a match, causes a connection procedure to be initiated with the particular device. According to one example embodiment, the first identifier may be received from via a cloud service. According to another example embodiment, the first identifier may be received during an active data connection with another device. Corresponding apparatus and computer program products as employed by both master and slave devices are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10748402
    Abstract: An approach is provided for matching vital sign information to a concurrently recorded data set according to a time domain. The approach involves determining sensor information collected from one or more sensors configured to monitor one or more vital signs of one or more objects within a monitored area. The approach also involves processing and/or facilitating a processing of the sensor information to detect the one or more objects and to track the one or more vital signs of the one or more objects over a time domain. The approach further involves matching the one or more vital signs of the one or more objects to a concurrently recorded data set based on the time domain. The approach further involves storing at least one record of the one or more vital signs matched to the concurrently recorded data set.
