  • Patent number: 12046126
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for securing property are presented. Video content viewed by a user may be detected, and the user may be automatically prompted to change settings on a security system based on the detecting. A comparison of the current time with the duration of the video content may serve as the basis for such prompting. Additionally, a premise security system may be placed in a learning mode. Changes in position of a security sensor may be detected and used to set a permitted range of motion for the sensor. Further, a plurality of security sensor profiles may be stored, and each profile may identify a different predefined permitted range of motion of a sensor. The addition of a new sensor to a premise may be detected, and a user may be prompted, on a display, to identify a profile to be used for the new sensor.

  • Publication number: 20230388305
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods for authorization are provided. A system for distributed authorization includes a resource server which stores a protected resource of a resource owner and a service provider client device which provides a service which uses the protected resource. The system also includes a federated privacy exchange system configured to provide an authorization service for allowing the service provider client device to access the protected resource according to permissions data. The federated privacy exchange system includes a privacy-respecting authorization server configured to store a resource definition for the protected resource, and an agent device configured to provide an agent interface for managing credentials and controlling permissions and policies at the authorization server and store protected data including any one or more of account identifier data, authenticator data, resource server relationship data, and permissions data.
