Publication number: 20210211781Abstract: A server system receives a digital media asset captured by a media capture device along with a dataset associated with the digital media asset. The server system generates a modified digital media asset by overlaying or embedding a glyph that encodes information pointing to the network location of the information page onto the digital media asset. A requesting device scans the glyph from the modified digital media asset and decodes from the glyph the information pointing to the network location. The information includes a certification that the digital media and the dataset associated with the digital media asset are unaltered. The requesting device may transmit communications to the server system to indicate approval or disapproval of the digital media asset, or to edit the digital media asset. The server system receives the communication and may modify the information to reflect comments, approvals, disapprovals, or edits.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2020Publication date: July 8, 2021Inventors: Jerry Speasl, Mike Patterson, Marc Roberts

Publication number: 20210150066Abstract: Systems and methods for generating certified images and incident reports are disclosed. An image capture device can be used to capture an image and integrate metadata from camera sensors as well as other ancillary device sensors into the image. The image and its metadata can then be certified upon a check that the image and its metadata are authentic and unaltered. The image and its metadata can then be included in or as a part of an incident or other report describing an incident or event such as an accident or a crime. The image and/or incident report may be maintained at a cloud-based server for viewing, authorized editing, and subsequent distribution.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2021Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventors: Jerry Speasl, Marc Roberts, Mike Patterson

Patent number: 10977493Abstract: Digital media assets depicting or otherwise representing portions of a property are captured via a media capture device, such as an unmanned vehicle, at various locations about a property. A positioning receiver tracks the location of the media capture device when each digital media asset is captured. A computing device associated with either the media capture device itself or a network-connected server automatically generates location-based categories—such as “front side” or “rear side” or “living room”—automatically based on the plurality of locations so that each location-based category is associated with multiple digital media assets and their corresponding locations.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: IMAGEKEEPER LLCInventors: Jerry Speasl, Mike Patterson, Marc Roberts

Publication number: 20200410872Abstract: A base module may be used to receive and house one or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) via one or more cavities. The base module receives commands from a manager device and identifies a flight plan that allows a UAV to execute the received commands. The base module transfers the flight plan to the UAV and frees the UAV. Once the UAV returns, the base module once again receives it. The base module then receives sensor data from the UAV from one or more sensors onboard the UAV, and optionally receives additional information describing its flight and identifying success or failure of the flight plan. The base module transmits the sensor data and optionally the additional information to a storage medium locally or remotely accessible by the manager device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2020Publication date: December 31, 2020Inventors: Jerry Speasl, Mike Patterson, Marc Roberts

Publication number: 20200184706Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may couple to a sensor payload device that includes cameras, radar, lidar, and/or other sensors. The UAV, coupled to the sensor payload device, may fly within the airspace of and/or around a property and capture images and/or sensor measurements of the property. The images and sensor measurements may be certified so that they may be verified as unaltered by viewers. A 3D representation of the property may be generated, and defects in the property may be detected by comparing the 3D representation to media depicting property defects. A report identifying the defects may be generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2019Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: Jerry Speasl, Mike Patterson, Marc Roberts

Publication number: 20200014816Abstract: Systems and methods for generating certified images, annotations, and incident reports are disclosed. A media capture device can be used to capture a media asset and related metadata. The image and its metadata can then be certified upon capture so that it can be verified as authentic and unaltered after certification. The certified media asset can then be included in or as a part of an incident report, which may optionally align multiple media assets along a path based on location and time of capture. The report may itself be certified and synchronized with a cloud server system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2019Publication date: January 9, 2020Inventors: Jerry Speasl, Marc Roberts, Mike Patterson

Publication number: 20190238433Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to apparatus and methods that collect sensed data and that may organize that data such that it can be accessed by user devices or that can be organized and analyzed according to rules, conventions, or policies. Data collected by sensors or devices may be transmitted to a computer or server that stores that data. That stored data may then be analyzed to identify trends, events, or a chain of related events. In certain instances, an analysis of sets of raw data may result in the generation of a report or may result in alerts being sent to particular user devices. These sets of collected data, generated reports, and alert information may be stored and synchronized at one or more computing devices as data sets associated with a group of user devices or with a group of sensing devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2019Publication date: August 1, 2019Inventors: Jerry Speasl, Mike Patterson, Marc Roberts

Publication number: 20190236732Abstract: Media data about a property is collected via one or more unmanned vehicles having sensors, and optionally other devices as well. The unmanned vehicles are guided along paths about the property, optionally about the exterior and interior of a structure on the property, A layout of the property—optionally including a layout of the interior and/or exterior of the structure—is generated and shared. The media data and the generated layout may be certified using digital signatures, enabling verification of their source device, collection time, and authenticity.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2019Publication date: August 1, 2019Inventors: Jerry Speasl, Mike Patterson, Marc Roberts
