Publication number: 20240314556Abstract: Briefly, example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture may be implemented to conduct an authentication process of a subscriber via a communications device utilizing a method comprising initiating transmission of a forward instruction from a cellular transceiver to the communications device, in which the communications device is co-located with the subscriber. The method may continue with waiting for a response to the forward instruction from the subscriber and transmitting, from an authenticator to a client computing resource, one or more first signals to indicate whether the authenticator has obtained the response to the forward instruction. The method also includes determining whether to complete the authentication process of the subscriber based, at least in part, on the one or more first signals indicating that an expected confirming response, an unexpected response, or an expected declining response has been received from the communications device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2023Publication date: September 19, 2024Inventors: Uri J. Abraham, Patrick J. Flynn

Publication number: 20190266883Abstract: A method to send emergency alerts to 911 first responders specifies category of emergency and level of threat. A user can choose one of the emergency categories including police, fire, medical, and marine, and one of various levels of threat such as low, medium, high, and life-threatening for each category of emergency. Then the user sends the alert to the 911 first responder together with the user specific personal information including name, physical address, GPS coordinates, contact phone number, emergency contact person's name and phone number, relationship of the emergency contact person to the user, etc. The 911 first responder can dispatch the corresponding emergency personnel to the user's address and can connect to the user and view the user's surroundings through the camera of the user's personal computing (PC) device. The system and method can be used in a home, outdoors such as a park, a public building such as library, school, beach, boat, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2019Publication date: August 29, 2019Inventor: Patrick J.

Publication number: 20180033340Abstract: A label assembly including a face sheet, a back sheet, and a layer of an adhesive positioned between the face sheet and the back sheet. A separation line divides the label assembly into at least two portions. The separation line is formed by a first tearable line of separation extending across the back sheet and a second tearable line of separation extending across the face sheet. The first tearable line of separation is offset with respect to the second tearable line of separation, and at least one of the first and second tearable lines of separation includes a non-linear portion directed toward and/or an angled portion extending at an angle to an other of the at least one of the first and second tearable lines of separation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2017Publication date: February 1, 2018Inventors: Timothy J.
