Patent number: 12321998Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting changes in real estate properties for a public safety purpose. An example method includes receiving images of a residential or commercial property and comparing pairs of received images corresponding to different dates to detect structural changes to the property. The method further includes accessing a property permit database to identify unpermitted structural changes and triggering an anomaly check directed at detecting: a first anomaly associated with the type of unpermitted change; a second anomaly associated with an individual residing on the property; and a third anomaly associated with the property based on a public-safety record.

Patent number: 11645867Abstract: A device, method and system for controlling an access point based on movement trends of a mover is provided. A device receives images from a camera device, the camera device configured to image a region adjacent an access point, the access point initially in a first state that prevents access therethrough. The device identifies a designator of a mover in the images. The device determines, using the designator in the images, direction vectors of the mover. The device determines a trend of movement of the mover, relative to the access point, based on changes in one or more of slope and angle of the direction vectors of the mover. The device, in response to determining that the mover is trending towards the access point, changes the access point from the first state to a second state that provides access therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2020Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Shervin Sabripour, Kurt Grossnickle, Patrick D.

Patent number: 10867494Abstract: A process for dynamic vehicular threat detection perimeter modification for an exited vehicular occupant includes prior to detecting a vehicular occupant exiting the vehicle, establishing a first sized vehicular geofence surrounding the vehicle as a function of one or more stored vehicular perimeter distances. The first sized vehicular geofence is monitored for a first breach via one of a 360 degree vehicular light imaging and radio wave distancing system. In response to detecting that the vehicular occupant previously inside the vehicle has exited the vehicle, the one or more stored vehicular perimeter distances is modified as a function of a detected location of the exited vehicular occupant to establish a second sized vehicular geofence surrounding the vehicle different than the first sized vehicular geofence. The second sized vehicular geofence is monitored for a second breach via one of the 360 degree vehicular light imaging and radio wave distancing system.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2019Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Patrick D.
