  • Patent number: 11805178
    Abstract: Methods and systems may include, at a computing device comprising a memory and a processor coupled to the memory, identifying entry of an electronic device within a geographic boundary and launching a session for a user of the electronic device in response to entry of the electronic device. The session may be inaccessible to the user at startup of the session. The method may further include, at the computing device, providing access to the session after startup of the session, and terminating the session based on exiting of the electronic device from the geographic boundary.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 9, 2021
    Date of Patent: October 31, 2023
    Inventors: Thomas Root, Christopher Coy Fife, Jiayin Tian, Brian J Ehlert, William Deforeest, Christopher S Witeck

  • Patent number: 11201927
    Abstract: A computing device may include a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor may be configured to identify entry of an electronic device within a geographic boundary, and pre-launch a session for a user of the electronic device in response to identification of entry of the electronic device, with the session being inaccessible to the user at a time of startup of the session. The processor may be further configured to provide access to the session with use of the electronic device upon entry of the electronic device within the geographic boundary and based on an identifier of the user.

  • Patent number: 10721316
    Abstract: A virtualization server may include a memory and a processor cooperating therewith to determine when electronic devices associated with respective different users enter within a virtual geographic boundary, and pre-launch unauthenticated user-specific virtual computing sessions for respective users based upon determining that the electronic devices for the respective users have entered within the virtual geographic boundary. The processor may further authenticate the pre-launched user-specific virtual computing sessions based upon unique identifiers associated with the users and the respective electronic devices being within the virtual geographic boundary.

  • Patent number: 10325470
    Abstract: A system for monitoring a health status of a person within an enclosed area may include a plurality of sensors distributed about the enclosed area. The sensors may be configured to detect respective different types of inputs based upon activity by the person within the enclosed area. The system may also include a computing device cooperating with the sensors to determine when the health status falls below a threshold status level based upon a timing and sequence in which the sensors are activated from the activity of the person within the enclosed area, and generate an alert based upon the health status falling below the threshold status level.
