Abstract: A computer-implemented method for effective agriculture and environment monitoring. The method may comprise measuring a desired variable over an area of interest using a remote inspection platform according to an inspection plan, predicting an occlusion of the remote inspection platform, and in response to the predicted occlusion, determining whether to invoke a local inspection platform to complete the inspection plan. The occlusion in some embodiments interrupts the inspection plan for the remote inspection platform.

Abstract: Devices, methods, and systems for distributed rule based automated fault detection are described herein. One system includes a data extractor engine configured to: extract configuration data relating to an environment based on a number of defined rules, and receive monitored data relating to the environment, an AFD engine configured to evaluate the monitored data in view of the configuration data to determine a state of the environment, and a fault generation engine to determine whether the state of the environment is outside a range defined by the number of defined rules.

Abstract: Systems and methods for peer-to-peer secure document exchange are disclosed. The system may allow a document provider to securely transmit a certified document to a document verifier using decentralized storage. The verifier system may generate a session key pair and transmit the session public key to a trusted API provider. The trusted API provider may generate a session nonce. The verifier system may transmit the session nonce to the provider system. The provider system may use the session nonce to retrieve the session public key. The provider system may encrypt a certified document using the session public key and store the encrypted certified document in the decentralized storage. The verifier system may retrieve the encrypted certified document by polling the trusted API provider based on the session nonce. The verifier system may decrypt the encrypted certified document using the session private key.

A processor determines a score for the plot for evaluation based, at least in part, on the prediction model for one or more features of the plurality of similar plots.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method can include obtaining irrigation data. The method can further include obtaining a first set of watering rates. The method can further include generating a first set and a second set of soil moisture estimates. The first and second sets of soil moisture estimates can be based at least in part on the irrigation data. The method can further include obtaining a custom constraint and making a first determination that the first set of soil moisture estimates satisfies the custom constraint. The method can further include obtaining a moisture reference value in response to making the first determination. The moisture reference value can be based at least in part on the second set of soil moisture estimates. The method can further include making a second determination that the moisture reference value exceeds a first threshold, and generating an irrigation plan in response to making the second determination.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods, systems and computer program products for securing one time passwords (OTP) for use in OTP based authorization of electronic payment transactions. The invention involves transmission and display of an OTP at a user device in response to a prior determination that a user operating the user device is authorized to implement a payment transaction through a payment account associated with the payment transaction. The invention implements this through transmission to the user device associated with the identified payment account, a data message initiating a process for verification of identity of a user operating the user device. Responsive to determining that the user operating the user device is authorized to operate the payment account, displaying the OTP on the user device for implementation of the payment transaction.

Abstract: A system for integrating blockchain-enabled shared datasets across databases having varying formats and structures is disclosed. The system may include various entity systems in communication via a peer-to-peer network. A first entity system may receive a dataset update request to update the shared dataset. The first entity system may broadcast the dataset update request across the network, and one or more entity systems connected to the network may consent to the dataset update request. The consenting entity systems may broadcast the consented dataset update request to the other entity systems connected to the network. Each entity system may update its local copy of the shared dataset with the consented dataset update request. Each entity system may comprise a mapping module configured to reformat the consented dataset update request into a format that can be stored in a local data structure.

Abstract: A smart lock system that includes a smart lock that electronically locks and unlocks a door and a server that outputs a command to the smart lock to lock or unlock the door via the internet in response to an instruction received via the internet from a user device. The user device may also (simultaneously) directly transmit an instruction to the smart lock (e.g., via Bluetooth). The user device may also directly transmit an instruction to the smart lock to unlock the door in response to a determination that the user device is within a predefined geofenced region around the smart lock. The smart lock may also include a keypad. The smart lock may also include a camera that captures images and output those images to the server for transmittal to the user device. The smart may also include a motion sensor and capture images in response to detected motion.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for extracting actionable information from emails in a completely unsupervised manner with no need for the data to be labeled (i.e., the systems and methods do not a human to identify unlabeled or relabeled emails). Changes in the email structure are automatically incorporated to learn new templates through the novel concept of sub-templates. The systems and methods incorporate the minor variations in email structure seamlessly, without needing to introduce new templates. Email templates are computed as permutations of multiple sub-templates in the email, which allows the systems and methods to handle variations in email structure seamlessly and highly efficiently. These systems and methods are extendable to any domain using structured emails, and improve the efficiency of the systems that receive and act on information contained in emails.
