Patent number: 10142461Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention facilitates the investigation of networks of criminals, by gathering associations between phone numbers, the names of persons reached at those phone numbers, and voice print data. In another aspect the invention automatically detects phone calls from a prison where the voiceprint of the person called matches the voiceprint of a past inmate. In another aspect the invention detects identity scams in prisons, by monitoring for known voice characteristics of likely imposters on phone calls made by prisoners. In another aspect, the invention automatically does speech-to-text conversion of phone numbers spoken within a predetermined time of detecting data indicative of a three-way call event while monitoring a phone call from a prison inmate. In another aspect, the invention automatically thwarts attempts of prison inmates to use re-dialing services.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2015Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Securus Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jay Gainsboro, Lee Weinstein, Charles Barrasso, Ken Sinclair

Patent number: 10095809Abstract: A system is disclosed for assisting users in storing and retrieving information in an information storage system. The system includes selection means for permitting a user to choose selected information to be stored; convening means for convening a tagging tribunal, the tagging tribunal providing a graphical aggregation of available tags and information nuggets that may be selected by a user to create an association between at least one selected tag or information nugget and the selected information based on the user's decision to create such an association; and linking means for creating an associative link between the at least one selected tag or information nugget and the selected information, the associative link being part of an associative network.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2011Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Inventors: Jonathan T. Klein, Lee Weinstein

Patent number: 10084920Abstract: A multi-party conversation analyzer and logger uses a variety of techniques including spectrographic voice analysis, absolute loudness measurements, directional microphones, and telephonic directional separation to determine the number of parties who take part in a conversation, and segment the conversation by speaking party. In one aspect, the invention monitors telephone conversations in real time to detect conditions of interest (for instance, calls to non-allowed parties or calls of a prohibited nature from prison inmates). In another aspect, automated prosody measurement algorithms are used in conjunction with speaker segmentation to extract emotional content of the speech of participants within a particular conversation, and speaker interactions and emotions are displayed in graphical form.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2015Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: Securus Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jay Gainsboro, Lee Weinstein

Patent number: 10040554Abstract: A preferred embodiment of a method and apparatus for detection and disablement of an unidentified aerial vehicle (UAV) includes arrays of antenna elements receiving in two modalities (for instance radio frequency (RF) and acoustic modalities, or RF and optical modalities). Signal processing of outputs from multiple antenna arrays locates a potential UAV at specific coordinates within a volume of space under surveillance, and automatically aims video surveillance and a short-range projectile launcher at the UAV, and may automatically fire the projectile launcher to down the UAV.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2017Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Inventors: Lee Weinstein, Jay Gainsboro

Patent number: 9373079Abstract: A system is described for improving decision making for individuals, groups and organizations. The system enables participants to collaboratively provide informational statements as well as supporting and opposing arguments and share them and then rate them. The system visually facilitates participants prioritizing arguments, and allows participants to rate arguments on clarity, agreement, and relevance. The system includes multiple levels of authority, both inherent and topic-assignable, which enable posts to be made visible/invisible based on authority level and/or “need to know”. The system allows decision makers to increase the reach of participants in decisions while keeping the input and process manageable yielding better decisions. All posts, ratings, and edits of posts and ratings within the system are archived along with any reasons given, and archives are reviewable by users.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2013Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Inventors: Alex McDonald, Lee Weinstein
