  • User identification system and method for fraud detection
    Patent number: 11966493
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for identifying potential identity fraud by tracking a user's typical communication patterns. If a new communication is received from someone who purports to be a trusted user, but the communication exhibits communication traits that are not typical for the user, additional identity fraud prevention steps may be taken.
    Type: Grant

  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REPAIRING RECORDED CONTENT
    Publication number: 20220253428
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for repairing recordings with at least a portion of a content item stored by a user device. If received metadata does not match reference metadata associated with a reference of the content item, one or more portions of the content stored by the user device may be damaged. The reference metadata and at least portions of the reference content item corresponding to the one or more portions of the content stored by the user device that are damaged may be received to replace the damaged content.

  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO DETECT ROGUE HOTSPOTS
    Publication number: 20210227394
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for identifying unauthorized (e.g., rogue) access points. Authorized access points can detect the presence of rogue access points by determining signal strengths associated with other access points. A detected variance from an expected signal strength can indicate a presence of a rogue access point.
