Publication number: 20220358825Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying a condition associated with an individual in a home environment are provided. Sensors associated with the home environment detect data, which is captured and analyzed by a local or remote processor to identify the condition. In some instances, the sensors are configured to capture data indicative of electricity use by devices associated with the home environment, including, e.g., which devices are using electricity, what date/time electricity is used by each device, how long each device uses electricity, and/or the power source for the electricity used by each device. The processor analyzes the captured data to identify any abnormalities or anomalies, and, based upon any identified abnormalities or anomalies, the processor determines a condition (e.g., a medical condition) associated with an individual in the home environment. The processor generates and transmits a notification indicating the condition associated with the individual to a caregiver of the individual.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Aaron Williams, Joseph Robert Brannan, Christopher N.

Patent number: 11399263Abstract: A method and apparatus. In response to a first mobile device not being connected to the broker service apparatus, it is ascertained that a second mobile device is connected to the broker service apparatus. A first control signal was received, prior to ascertaining that the second mobile device is connected to the broker service apparatus, by the broker service apparatus from a telephony service. The first control signal includes a first unique identifier and data targeted to the first mobile device. In response to the ascertaining, a second control signal is issued to the second mobile device in order to forward the data to the second mobile device.

Patent number: 11151562Abstract: Secure passcode entry using a mobile device having augmented reality capability. The mobile device is registered with an authorization server to register an agreed input display algorithm with an initialization seed, and a user passcode is registered with the authorization server. A superset of options is obtained from an input interface device at which a user passcode is to be entered. The superset of options is processed using the input display algorithm and initialization seed to result in an arrangement of characters including the characters of a registered user passcode. The arrangement of characters is overlaid using the augmented reality capability of the mobile device in relation to an input interface of the input interface device.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2020Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Simon A.
