  • Patent number: 10757097
    Abstract: A temporal identity vault used to authenticate an individual is described herein. User identifying input is received on a device, such as a cell phone. The identifying input is, in some examples, encrypted and stored as a temporal identity vault. The temporal identity vault is configured for a use. The use may be a time, location, or the like. A beacon is associated with the temporal identity vault. If the beacon is at a location relative to an object, the authentication process is started. The information stored in the temporal identity vault is authenticated at a central service. Upon authentication, the user is permitted to operate an object. The temporal identity vault may thereafter be deleted.

  • Patent number: 10360437
    Abstract: A collision avoidance system within an augmented reality environment determines a hazard and notifies the user of the hazard. By determining that the attention of the user is focused on the mobile computing device, and that there is a hazardous condition that the user is approaching, the device provides an alert to the user as to the hazardous condition to protect the user from the hazard. Known hazardous conditions can be stored and provided to a mobile computing device when that mobile computing device is within the vicinity of the known hazardous conditions. The system can also create geofences and provide notifications to the user when a boundary is approached or crossed.
