Patent number: 12021724Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for transmitting a message to a user device in accordance with a determination that another device is unreachable over a network. In one example, a server device, at a first location, may identify a controller device resident at a second location, whereby the controller device is configured to communicate with a router at the second location. The server device may also receive a list of user devices. The server device may transmit a ping message to the controller device via the router to determine whether the controller device is unreachable by the server device. The server device may subsequently transmit a message to a user device on the list in accordance with a determination that the controller device is unreachable by the server device, whereby the message includes instructions for the user device to determine whether the controller device is unreachable by the user device.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2022Date of Patent: June 25, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Keith W. Rauenbuehler, Nicholas J. Circosta, Kenneth A. York, Christopher Ku, Adam J. Moore, Jose A. Lozano Hinojosa, Aniket A. Zamwar, Patrick L. Coffman

Publication number: 20240129563Abstract: The present disclosure can provide devices, methods, and computer-readable medium for secure frame management. The techniques disclosed herein provide detection of triggering items in one or more frames of streaming video. The camera transmits one or more frames of the video over a network to a computing device. The computing device can begin a streaming session with a server and stream the one or more frames of video and accompanying metadata to the server. The frames, metadata, and associated keys can all be encrypted prior to streaming to the server. For each subsequent segment of video frames that includes the triggering item, the server can append the frames of that segment to the video clip in an encrypted container.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: APPLE INC.Inventors: Anush G. Nadathur, Keith W. Rauenbuehler, Kenneth A. York, Varinder Singh, Nicholas M. Fraioli

Patent number: 11895346Abstract: Disclosure provides devices, methods, and computer-readable medium for secure frame management. Techniques disclosed herein provide an intelligent method for detecting triggering items in one or more frames of streaming video from an Internet Protocol camera. Upon detection, the camera transmits one or more frames of the video over a network to a computing device. Upon detecting a triggering item in a frame of the video stream, the computing device begins a streaming session with a server and stream the one or more frames of video and accompanying metadata to the server. The frames, metadata, and associated keys can all be encrypted prior to streaming to the server. For each subsequent segment of video frames that includes the triggering item, the server can append the frames of that segment to the video clip in an encrypted container. Once the triggering item is no longer detected, the streaming session can be closed.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Anush G. Nadathur, Keith W. Rauenbuehler, Kenneth A. York, Varinder Singh, Nicholas M. Fraioli
