  • Publication number: 20250104552
    Abstract: Systems and methods for building and using a false alarm predicting model to determine whether to alert a user and/or relevant authorities about an alarm signal from a security system are provided. Such systems and methods can include a learning module receiving the alarm signal and additional information associated with the alarm signal, using the false alarm predicting model to process a combination of the alarm signal and the additional information to determine whether the combination represents a false alarm or a valid alarm, and transmitting a status signal indicative of whether the combination represents the false alarm or the valid alarm to an automated dispatcher module, and the automated dispatcher module using the status signal to automatically determine whether to alert the user and/or the relevant authorities about the alarm signal.

  • Patent number: 11790747
    Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring a status of a building comprising a first sensor configured to detect a first condition in the space and a second sensor configured to detect a second condition in the space is disclosed. The system may further comprise a memory for storing one or more rules each configured to identify one or more issues in the space based on the first and/or second conditions in the space and a communications module configured to communicate with a remote device over a network. A controller may be configured to apply the one or more rules to the first and second detected conditions in the space to identify the one or more issues and provide a notification to the remote device via the communications module.

  • Publication number: 20180053273
    Abstract: A user requests safekeeping of an important document, such as a will, a trust instrument or an insurance policy, via a cloud-based system. The system maintains information relating to storage of the document. In an embodiment, the document is encrypted and securely uploaded to a database. In other embodiments, the document alternatively or additionally can be stored in a physical storage facility (e.g., as a paper document) and the database can maintain indexing and metadata corresponding to the stored document. In various embodiments, at least one condition can be established for release of the document, such as the death of a testator. In an embodiment, a likelihood of the condition being satisfied is assessed using searches of publicly available information, including analysis of free form text for keywords weighted according to probabilities. Further inquiry is made to confirm the condition, such as by calling, texting, or via email.
