  • Patent number: 11335178
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating movement trends and alerts indicative of deviations therefrom associated with a person living in a residence. A transmitter co-located with the person generates a wireless signal. Receivers distributed throughout the residence generate RSSI values indicative of strength of the transmitter's wireless signal received thereby at each of a plurality of specified times during each day. A processor enables storage of each RSSI value associated with each of the specified times for a plurality of days such that a plurality of RSSI values are stored for each of the receivers. A trend RSSI value is generated by the processor for each of the receivers for each of the specified times by averaging the plurality of RSSI values so-stored for each receiver. An alert is generated by the processor when a subsequently-received RSSI value is indicative of a deviation from the trend RSSI value.

  • Patent number: 11048390
    Abstract: A GUI reformatting application is installed on a host computer and a mobile computer. Once activated, a first list of the user applications installed on the mobile computer is automatically transmitted to the host computer over a network. Selections of the user applications in the first list are received at the host computer wherein each selection identifies one of the user applications that is approved for enablement at the mobile computer. A second list of enabled user applications is generated at the host computer where the enabled user applications consist of those user applications identified by the selections made at the host computer. The second list is transmitted to the mobile computer and the home screen GUI on the mobile computer is then automatically reformatted to display only the launch icons associated with the enabled user applications.
