Patent number: 11734932Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for state and event monitoring. In some implementations, images captured by a camera are obtained, the images depicting an area of a property. Two or more images of the images are provided to a machine learning model. An output of the machine learning model is obtained, the output corresponding to the two or more images. One or more potential states of the area of the property are determined using the output of the machine learning model, each state of the one or more potential states corresponding to an image in the two or more images. An action is performed based on the one or more potential states.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Alarm.com IncorporatedInventors: Aaron Lee Roberts, Bret Jutras

Patent number: 11544924Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for finding lost objects. In some implementations, a request for a location of an item is obtained. Current video data from one or more cameras is obtained. It is determined that the item is not shown in the current video data. Sensor data corresponding to historical video data is obtained. Events that likely occurred with the item and corresponding likelihoods for each of the events are determined. A likely location for the item is determined based on the likelihoods determined for the events. An indication of the likely location of the item is provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Alarm.com IncorporatedInventors: Jangwon Lee, Aaron Lee Roberts, Bret Jutras, Allison Beach, Donald Gerard Madden

Patent number: 11532939Abstract: Systems and techniques for solar energy management are described. A described system includes circuitry to determine a solar power generation value based on a power output of a solar power generator configured to supply electricity to a plurality of devices associated with a property; circuitry to determine a power consumption value of the plurality of devices; and a controller configured to determine a power status based on the solar power generation value and the power consumption value. The controller can be configured to selectively enable additional power consumption among the plurality of devices to an extent of the solar power generation value based on the power status indicating a power surplus state. The controller can be configured to selectively reduce power consumption among the plurality of devices based on the power status indicating a power deficit state.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2018Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Alarm.com IncorporatedInventors: Aaron Lee Roberts, Bret Jutras
