Patent number: 11562610Abstract: In one aspect, a portable electronic device is provided for accessing a secured area to deliver a package therein. The portable electronic device includes a sensor configured to detect an indicium of the package and communication circuitry configured to communicate a message to a server computer associated with the package upon the sensor detecting the indicium. The communication circuitry is further configured to receive delivery information from the server computer, the delivery information including at least a location of the secured area. The portable electronic device further includes a processor operatively coupled to the sensor and the communication circuitry. The processor is configured to cause, via the communication circuitry, the movable barrier operator to open a movable barrier associated with the secured area.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2021Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: The Chamberlain Group LLCInventors: Maurien Alamin, Jordan Ari Farber, Ghazi Tahir Khan, Erik James Manninen, David R.

Publication number: 20220019810Abstract: In one aspect of the present disclosure, an object monitoring system for a secured area is provided. The object monitoring system includes an image sensor operable to capture an image of the secured area and a memory configured to store a machine learning algorithm trained to identify a vehicle in the secured area, the machine learning algorithm including feature maps of training images captured by the image sensor. The object monitoring system further includes a processor operably coupled to the image sensor and the memory, the processor configured to calculate a feature descriptor of the image and to utilize the machine learning algorithm and the image of the secured area to determine whether a vehicle is present in the secured area by determining a correlation between the feature descriptor of the image and the feature maps of the training images.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2021Publication date: January 20, 2022Inventors: Jordan Ari Farber, Nathan John Kopp

Patent number: 11210875Abstract: A movable barrier operator system is provided that includes a moving-barrier imminent motion notification apparatus, a motor, a controller, and communication circuitry configured to communicate with a remote control. In response to the communication circuitry receiving a communication from the remote control, the controller causes the motor to change the state of the movable barrier and additionally operate the moving-barrier imminent motion notification apparatus upon a determination of the remote control being beyond a physical proximity of a location associated with the movable barrier operator system. Upon a determination that the remote control is within the physical proximity, the controller refrains from operation of the moving-barrier imminent motion notification apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2020Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: The Chamberlain Group LLCInventors: Casparus Cate, Jordan Ari Farber, James J. Fitzgibbon, Nathan J. Kopp

Patent number: 11200769Abstract: A movable barrier operator transmits a message to a remote peripheral platform and, upon determining that the remote peripheral platform is presently able to carry out a given functionality, responsively permits a particular function to be carried out by the movable barrier operator. Conversely, upon determining that it cannot be ascertained whether the remote peripheral platform is presently able to carry out the given functionality, the movable barrier operator responsively prevents the movable barrier operator from carrying out the particular function. Also, upon detecting that a targeted remote platform does not acknowledge a previously re-transmitted message and further upon detecting that this same remote platform has also not acknowledged a subsequent wirelessly-transmitted second message, the system can switch to automatically retransmitting that second message a lesser number of times than would otherwise be required.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: The Chamberlain Group LLCInventors: Jordan Ari Farber, Jeremy Eugene Jenkins, Dilip Jagjivan Patel, John Steven Scaletta

Patent number: 9608996Abstract: A device newly introduced to a network is automatically credentialed to be able to communicate over a network before the device first communicates with the network. For example, at a point of purchase, a user can provide network identification information to a merchant computing device that effects transfer of that information to the new device such that the new device can communicate directly with the network without initial credentialing directly between the unique device and the local network. In another example, the merchant computing device communicates with the local network to register a newly purchased device with the local network before the newly purchased device is introduced to the network. Accordingly, the network is configured to begin communications with the unique device without initial credentialing directly between the unique device and the local network.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2015Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: The Chamberlain Group, Inc.Inventor: Jordan Ari Farber
