  • Publication number: 20190232907
    Abstract: A method for motorcycle accident detection and notification utilizes a wireless communication device and a motorcycle including an instrument system and an overturn detection system. The wireless communication device can be a portable wireless communication device carried by the motorcycle driver or a built-in wireless communication device of the motorcycle. The followings steps are executed. Obtain the motorcycle speeds and the corresponding time point data. Detect whether the motorcycle is overturned, and if affirmative, the overturn sensor sends out an overturning signal and then the instrument system, by comparing the differences between the speeds before and after the overturning signal is generated, determines whether an accident is to be notified. If affirmative, an accident signal is sent to the wireless communication device which will then send accident notification messages to emergency contact persons, thereby enabling them to inform the police and to rescue the motorcycle driver.

  • Publication number: 20190229912
    Abstract: A Man in the Middle (MitM) computer receives a first session identifier from a client for a first communication session between the client and a server, and monitors Transport Layer Security (TLS) communication sessions between the client and the server, where the first session identifier is one of an unknown session identifier and an invalid session identifier. In response to receiving the first session identifier from the client, the MitM computer performs one of: requesting a second session identifier from the server for a second communication session if the first session identifier is an unknown session identifier; and transmitting, to the client, an instruction to flush a session cache in the client, where flushing the session cache in the client forces the client and the server to establish a full TLS handshake in order to obtain a session key if the first session identifier is an invalid session identifier.
