  • Publication number: 20230209017
    Abstract: The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for providing event alerts. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a video feed. A frame of the video feed is analyzed at a first resolution to determine whether the frame includes a potential instance of a person. In accordance with the determination that the image includes the potential instance, a region is denoted around the potential instance. The region is analyzed at a second resolution, greater than the first resolution. In accordance with a determination that the region includes the instance of the person. a determination that the frame includes the person is made. An indication of the determination is stored for use in subsequent alert notification processing.

  • Patent number: 11587320
    Abstract: A computing system obtains a video feed. For a frame of the video feed, the computing system analyzes the frame to determine whether the frame includes a potential instance of an event. In accordance with a determination that the frame includes the potential instance of an event, the computing system determines for the event an event category from a plurality of predefined event categories. It stores an indication of the event category. It determines whether the event category matches a predefined notification filter definition. In accordance with a determination that the event category matches the predefined notification filter definition, the computing system issues an alert notification to a user client device. In accordance with a determination that the event category does not match the predefined notification filter definition, the computing system refrains from issuing the alert notification.

  • Patent number: 9547316
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a computer-implemented method and system of reducing commodity usage by providing tailored consumer information to the consumer. The method utilizes neural network and machine learning techniques to calculate and cluster statistical data to classify the premises for desired observable condition, including the presence of a programmed thermostat. A score is determined that corresponds to at least one of: (i) a present state of an observable condition, (ii) a non-present state of the observable condition, and (iii) a degree of a condition of the observable condition, to provide tailored consumer information associated to the consumer's usage of the commodity.
