  • Patent number: 10134262
    Abstract: Embodiments that are described herein provide improved methods and systems for predicting threatened POIs. In some embodiments, an automated location tracking system tracks the locations of one or more target individuals. The locations of the target individuals may be tracked, for example, by tracking the cellular phones of the targets, or using various other automated location tracking techniques. Based on the tracked locations, a prediction system anticipates the future locations of the targets. Over time, the system uses this information to progressively narrow down the list of possibly-threatened POIs.

  • Patent number: 10079933
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring, analyzing and acting upon voice calls in communication networks. An identification system receives monitored voice calls that are conducted in a communication network. Some of the monitored voice calls may be conducted by target individuals who are predefined as suspects. In order to maintain user privacy, the system selects and retains only voice calls that are suspected of being conducted by predefined targets. The techniques disclosed herein are particularly advantageous in scenarios where the network identifiers of the terminal used by the target are not known, or where the target uses public communication devices. In accordance with the disclosure, context-based identifiers such as speaker recognition or keyword matching are used.

  • Patent number: 9979901
    Abstract: Systems and methods for receiving video images from a plurality of video cameras having respective fields of view that cover a geographical region. At a first time, first video images of an object may be output, where the images are captured by a first video camera selected from the plurality of video cameras. Location indications may be received, which specify a geographical location of the object in the geographical region and which are determined independently of the video images. At a second time subsequent to the first time, a second video camera from the plurality may be selected based on the location indications. The output may be switched to the second video images of the object, which are captured by the selected second video camera.

  • Patent number: 9767279
    Abstract: Methods and systems for protecting computer systems against intrusion. The disclosed techniques detect intrusions by jointly considering both cyber security events and physical security events. In some embodiments, a correlation subsystem receives information related to the computer system and its physical environment from various information sources in the cyber domain and in the physical domain. The correlation subsystem analyzes the information and identifies both cyber security events and physical security events. The correlation subsystem finds cyber security events and physical security events that are correlative with one another, and uses this correlation to detect intrusions.

  • Patent number: 9137772
    Abstract: Systems and methods for location tracking in a communication network. Base stations transmit downlink signals to a plurality of subscriber terminals to define a mapping between geographical locations and respective sets of signal strengths of the downlink signals received from the base stations at the geographical locations. A subset of the subscriber terminals may be selected, and for each subscriber terminal in the subset, first measurements of a geographical location of the subscriber terminal irrespective of the downlink signals is made. Second measurements of the downlink signals received at the subscriber terminal at the geographical location is made and the mapping of the subscribers terminals is updated responsively to the first and second measurements. The geographical locations of the subscriber terminals is updated using the updated mapping.

  • Patent number: 9025833
    Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying and tracking individuals in a area-of-interest that may be covered by a video surveillance subsystem and by a communication location subsystem, and a correlation system correlates the outputs of the two subsystems. The communication location subsystem may monitor communication of mobile phones. The video subsystem captures video images of the area-of-interest, and processes the video images so as to identify individuals who are present in the area. The correlation system correlates a given mobile phone with a given individual who was identified by the video subsystem as being engaged in a phone conversation. After correlating the mobile phone with the individual using the phone, the correlation system outputs correlated information regarding the phone and its user to an operator.

  • Patent number: 9019077
    Abstract: Methods and system for predicting a future location of users of wireless communications terminals. Location information indicating respective locations of multiple wireless communication terminals may be received and processed so as to predict a future meeting among respective users of the wireless communication terminals. An action may be taken with respect to the predicted future meeting. The location information may be received from a wireless communication network to obtain a Point-of-Interest (POI) that is related to one or more of the users from a characteristic location profile of the one or more users. The POI may be indicated as the likely location of the future meeting.

  • Patent number: 8653970
    Abstract: A security method that includes defining rules specifying permitted movements of passengers in a transportation terminal. Passengers entering the terminal may be issued a boarding pass having a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag attached thereto. The location of the RFID tag may be measured and responsive to the measured location of the RFID tag, a violation of at least one of the rules by the passenger may be detected. An action with respect to the detected violation may be taken. The rules may define a region that is forbidden for access, a region in which the passengers are expected to be in motion, a region in which the passengers are expected not to be stationary for more than a given time period, etc.

  • Patent number: 8258945
    Abstract: A security method and system for accepting identity information regarding a vehicle. The system intercepts communications between wireless communication terminals located on board a vehicle and a wireless communication network, and processes the intercepted communication so as to identify respective countries of origin of the terminals on the vehicle. A comparison is made between the countries of origin of the terminals and identity information of the vehicle to invoke an action. For example, the comparison may include detecting an inconsistency between the identity information of the vehicle and one or more of the countries of origin of the terminals.

  • Patent number: 8238915
    Abstract: Methods and systems in a wireless communication network for determining respective distances between a given base transceiver station and one or more other base transceiver stations. An effective location of the given base transceiver station may be calculated that is different from its physical location. The effective location may be use to report an estimated location of a communication terminal communicating with the given base transceiver station. The estimated location may be provided in networks that support both a hard handover or soft handover of the communication terminal between the given base transceiver station and the one or more other base transceiver stations.
