  • Patent number: 11190639
    Abstract: A system for accessing information via a voice device comprises a call router configured to initiate and receive calls and at least one application server in communication with the call router via a network. The at least one application server is configured to receive a call from the voice device and access a user account stored in a memory. The application server is further configured to access a plurality of contacts of the user account and receive a contact selection of a selected contact. The application server is further configured to assume an account identification of the user account for one or more communications and control a submission of a message associated with the assumed account identification to a mobile device of the selected contact.

  • Patent number: 8036384
    Abstract: An Enhanced Shared Secret Provisioning Protocol (ESSPP) provides a novel method and system for adding devices to a network in a secure manner. A registration process is launched at two network devices together within a predetermined time interval. These two devices then automatically register with each other. When two devices running ESSPP detect each other, they exchange identities and establish a key that can later be used by the devices to mutually authenticate each other and generate session encryption keys. With ESSPP, two ESSPP devices that are attempting to register with each other will only provision a key when they detect that they are the only two ESSPP devices on the wireless network running ESSPP. If additional devices running ESSPP are detected, the ESSPP protocol is either terminated or suspended.

  • Publication number: 20100163634
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring, controlling and limiting utility usage for a plurality of units in a building. An example system includes a controller and one or more sensing devices in signal communication with the controller using a buildings existing thermostat wiring. The system senses the state of a thermostat, the air temperature near each thermostat and the pipe/ducting temperature in each of a plurality of units. The pipe/ducting sensor monitors the temperature of piping or ducting leading from a thermostatically controlled supply valve to the unit requesting heating or cooling. Being able to use existing building thermostat wiring allows for installation into older buildings. The controller records utility usage information for each of the plurality of units based on information received from the one or more sensing devices and communicates with a website.

  • Publication number: 20070266716
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring utility usage for a plurality of units in a building. The system includes a controller and one or more sensing devices in signal communication over existing building thermostat or other control wiring with the controller. The sensing devices sense the state of a thermostat and the air temperature in each of the plurality of units as well as the temperature of utility transport piping leading to each of the plurality of units. The controller records utility usage for each of the plurality of units based on information received from the one or more sensing devices and provides an audit trail to verify delivery of the utility and detect and report faults in the utility delivery system. System faults are transmitted to a user as an audio alert using an electronically recorded human voice.
