  • Patent number: 10607431
    Abstract: A method and system that allows authorized individuals access into controlled access locations and the ability to grant temporary and limited access to guests into these locations. The method and system allows for navigational services to be provided to members and guests, and real-time tracking and confirmation to members and administrators that guests have arrived at their destination and did not enter any unauthorized areas. The method preferably can work through a system of wireless radio, sound and/or light-based beacons communicating with member and guest's electronic devices. Members and administrators can send one or more temporary electronic access keys to a guest's smartphone or other electronic device. Wireless radio, sound and/or light-based beacons provide an access control and location tracking system with real-time data about the member and guest whereabouts, allowing for the confirmation and tracking.

  • Publication number: 20200059757
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the presence of an individual at a particular spot within a location preferably based on the strength of signals received from beacons assigned to the particular spot by a software application (“App”) running on an electronic device of the individual. In one embodiment, certain presence calculations are performed by the App. In another embodiment, the App forwards information regarding the received beacon signals to an electronic identification and location tracking system and the presence calculations are performed by the system.

  • Publication number: 20200050844
    Abstract: Systems, methods and media are disclosed for identifying the crossing of a virtual barrier. A person in a 3D image of a room may be circumscribed by a bounding box. The position of the bounding box may be monitored over time, relative to the virtual barrier. If the bounding box touches or crosses the virtual barrier, an alert may be sent to the person being monitored, a caregiver or a clinician.

  • Publication number: 20200037114
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying a person's location at a school, hotel, office, business, restaurant or other venue and tracking the movements of that person during their visit to the venue. One or more wireless virtual beacons communicate with the person's electronic device. The virtual beacons provide the system with real-time data about the person's whereabouts, allowing for the confirmation and tracking of the person at the location. A first non-limiting example of use, include a company that provides food and beverage allowing the person to place an order for food and beverages on their electronic device and having the order delivered to the person at their current location as determined by the system. Another non-limiting example includes a company performing analytics on the time and movement of it's employees and customers.

  • Patent number: 10536813
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying a customer's location at a business and provide notification to a company representative upon arrival of the customer at the business location. Real-time location determinations for the customer and customer location tracking can be provided. One or more wireless beacons communicate with the customer's electronic device. The beacons provide the system with real-time data about the customer's whereabouts, allowing for the confirmation and tracking of the customer at the location. A first non-limiting example of use, include a company that provides food and beverage allowing the customer to place an order for food and beverages on their electronic device and having the order delivered to the person at their current location as determined by the system. Another non-limiting example includes a company using the notification system to have assigned staff members notified of the customer's arrival.

  • Patent number: 10524722
    Abstract: Systems and methods allow caregivers, central monitoring, and/or other persons to monitor whether a patient has moved or changed positions sufficient to prevent the patient from developing bedsores or at least reduce the chance of bedsores from developing. The systems and methods work by detecting when a caregiver has entered within a predefined patient or bed zone. The systems and methods detect whether the caregiver remained within the zone for a predetermined time period. If the caregiver fails to remain within the zone for the predetermined time period, an alert is generated as this could indicate that the caregiver was not present long enough with the patient for the patient to sufficiently move or change positions.

  • Patent number: 10510443
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that allow caregivers, central monitoring services, and other persons to monitor whether a monitored individual's hands have entered into an area in which the hands are prohibited, such as areas in which the monitored individual may remove or disturb a piece of medical equipment. When the monitored individual's hands do enter the restricted area that is represented by an electronic virtual safety zone, an alert is generated and transmitted to a designated recipient.

  • Patent number: 10504226
    Abstract: Systems, methods and media for detecting a seizure use one or more 3D cameras to monitor an individual. The 3D cameras may movements associated with the tonic or clonic phases of a seizure. A detection zone is used to monitor the individual via the one or more 3D cameras. As the individual moves, the detection zone is automatically adjusted such that zone remains around the person. Detected body position and/or movements, including rate of movement and duration of movement, consistent with a seizure may cause the system or media to alert the individual, a central monitoring system, caregivers, and/or others.

  • Publication number: 20190355475
    Abstract: Systems and methods allow caregivers, central monitoring, and/or other persons to monitor whether a patient or another person has generated a call, such as an audio call. The systems and methods work by detecting audio within one or more audio detection zones, which are predefined areas surrounding the patient or other person to be monitored. The systems and methods detect when a command/keyword is spoken in the audio detection zone and generate an appropriate alert to an appropriate role.

  • Publication number: 20190318149
    Abstract: An unauthorized visitor system collects an image of a person detected in a room of a patient. The system identifies reference points on the person's face, for example, points along the cheeks, jowls, and/or brow. The system may compare the reference points to reference points of images associated with registered visitors. The system then determines, based on the comparison, if the person is a registered visitor. One or more designated recipients may be alerted if the person is not a registered visitor or if the person breaches a patient identification zone established around a particular patient. The system may also register the person in a database of visitors.
