Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods are described for creating security information using sensors. The security information may be collected independently between at least two devices. The security information may be filtered by communicating portions of the security information between the devices until a statistical match exists. The remaining non-communicated security information on the at least two devices may then be used for any security related applications.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments describe a method, apparatus, and system for water management. At least one smart aquameter may be used to connect to a plumbed water system. The smart aquameter may measure a variety of sensor data, process, analyze, store, report, or control information related to the water system. The acoustic, pressure, and temperature characteristics of water in a plumbed system, amongst other things, may be used to identify which outlet is using water, for how long, and how much. This information, along with other relevant information, may be utilized to report, alert, optimize, inform, educate, and regulate the water system, for consumers, utility companies, and resource agencies.

Abstract: A device to automatically provide differing information levels according to a predetermined social hierarchy includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores social templates corresponding to unique social signatures and being selectable to provide, for each level of the predetermined social hierarchy, a corresponding differing amount of information to each member of the predetermined social hierarchy and/or a social networking service. The processor receives sensor data from a sensor set which detects sensor data related to an environment of a communication device, creates a detected social signature from the received sensor data, determines which of the social signatures of the social templates has the greatest correspondence with the created social signature, retrieves from the memory the determined one social template having the greatest correspondence, and provides only as much information as allowed in the retrieved social template.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for securely storing and performing digital media files in a multimedia device. The method can include the operation of storing one or more digital media files on a digital storage medium in a predetermined file format. The digital storage medium can located within the multimedia device. Data comprising predetermined file format information and the digital media can be secured on the digital storage medium without securing commands necessary to store the digital media on the digital storage medium. The multimedia device can be connected to an external source to authenticate the multimedia device. The digital media can be processed to a media form that will allow the digital media to be performed. A real time clock operatively connected to the multimedia device can be used to determine the length of time that a digital media file is stored on the digital storage medium.
