  • Patent number: 11800319
    Abstract: Systems and methods that can utilize the detection of human occupancy without fiducial elements to control an environmental, security, or other system within a structure. The systems and method can initiate communication to a human user directly, and can alter their operation based on human presence.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 11, 2021
    Date of Patent: October 24, 2023
    Assignee: Ivani, LLC
    Inventors: John Wootton, Matthew Wootton, Justin McKinney, Caitlin Riley, Matthew Rush, Boris Dieseldorff, Achintya Kumar, Christopher Nissman
  • Patent number: 11018510
    Abstract: Systems and methods that can be retrofitted into an existing wired electrical system replacing existing switches whether as a standalone single switch or part of a multi-way switch configuration that can be controlled locally nominally by touch, controlled remotely by a remote, or controlled remotely by a computer. The systems and method provide that the switches establish a local network allowing for retrofit or construction of a structure or facility with electrical system automation without the need for additional wiring.

  • Publication number: 20190363544
    Abstract: Systems and methods that can be retrofitted into an existing wired electrical system replacing existing switches whether as a standalone single switch or part of a multi-way switch configuration that can be controlled locally nominally by touch, controlled remotely by a remote, or controlled remotely by a computer. The systems and method provide that the switches establish a local network allowing for retrofit or construction of a structure or facility with electrical system automation without the need for additional wiring.

  • Publication number: 20160231372
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating a data representation of the structure of an electrical system or network. Wireless tags, such as RFID tags, near field communication tags, and other short-range wireless communication technologies, are used to uniquely identify discrete components of the electrical network, and user-provided metadata is associated with each tag, generally using a software application on a smart device which is in communication with the tags. Metadata necessarily includes the links between tags. The smart device communicates with a data server to create, update, and retrieve the user-supplied data to and from a remote storage system.

  • Patent number: 8928769
    Abstract: High-bit depth sensors often capture more information then can be displayed on a commercially available display. Due to this, image processing systems and methods are disclosed to ensure that as much information as possible is presented to a user in a meaningful and statistically significant manner. The image processing systems and methods disclosed herein allow a user to view and process data that would otherwise be invisible to the user.
