Patents by Inventor Nathan D. Flower

Nathan D. Flower has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11762076
    Abstract: The present application at least describes a non-transitory computer readable medium including program instructions that when executed by a processor effectuate a set of actions. The program instructions include causing a scan of a radio frequency spectrum to detect one or more radio signals transmitted within a pre-defined area. The program instructions also include causing a capture of a radio signal of interest from the one or more radio signals. The program instructions also include demodulating the radio signal of interest to determine coded sensor data carried thereon. The program instruction further include decoding the coded sensor data to determine a characteristic of the sensor data. The program instruction further include generating an alert based on the characteristic of the sensor data.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11385341
    Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting and passively monitoring communication of an unmanned aerial vehicle are disclosed. In an example method, a radio frequency spectrum is scanned to detect one or more radio signals transmitted within a pre-defined area. A modulated radio signal of interest from the one or more radio signals is determined. The radio signal of interest is associated with a drone. The radio signal of interest is captured. The radio signal of interest is demodulated to determine coded sensor data carried by the radio signal of interest. The sensor data is determined by the drone. The coded sensor data is decoded to determine a characteristic of the sensor data. An alert is generated based on the characteristic of the sensor data.
