  • Publication number: 20190286845
    Abstract: Systems and methods for privacy breach notification and protection enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT) are provided. Some embodiments establish a passive early warning privacy-breach detection from laser beam scan capability on a mobile device and IoT device when a particular owned object (or set of owned objects) has been laser scanned. Sensor information (e.g., laser beam sensing transparent adhesive tape, automotive cameras and proximity sensors) can be used to create notifications that allow a user to take action or to have peace of mind relating to particular activities such as to avoid fees and fines, to recover lost objects, to confirm known events, and to trigger activity.

  • Publication number: 20180322413
    Abstract: An input system includes one or more sensor devices that communicate via a local network and collect sensor data, which may be processed by a machine learning model to identify patterns in the data and recognize unusual conditions or potential safety issues. Sensor data may be processed by individual sensor devices having sufficient processing resources, or may be offloaded to a local or remote processor. Notifications may be generated with regard to safety issues, and user input may be received that indicates whether to treat a newly recognized pattern as a problem requiring corrective action, a one-time occurrence, or a pattern to be added to a list of known patterns. Sensor devices may collect data both within and outside the vehicle, and may communicate with in-vehicle systems, mobile computing devices, or other computing devices.

  • Patent number: 10091612
    Abstract: System and method of geo-fencing. A user equipment (UE) defines a geo-fence for an asset by tracking location coordinates of the UE with at least one sensor element, as the UE is moved around a perimeter of an area. The location coordinates of the geo-fence are transferred to a location aware device (LAD) attached to the asset. Upon determining, by the at least one sensor, that the LAD crossed the geo-fence, a notification is sent to a warning server operative to trigger a warning message to one or more recipients.
