  • Zone determination by combining signal strength with topological factors
    Patent number: 8432253
    Abstract: Active RFID technologies are used to tag assets and people within buildings or open areas, such as parking lots or military bases; and to identify, preferably within a few meters, the real-time location (RTL) of the tag, i.e. to create a real-time location system, known as an RTLS. A novel and complex algorithm is provided that combines signal strength computations with factors that incorporate physical realities, such as walls and floors, to determine a tag's real-time location more accurately.

  • Automated Adaption Based Upon Prevailing Threat Levels in a Security System
    Publication number: 20100156628
    Abstract: Four threat levels reflect a prevailing risk and can be adjusted, for example, when local authorities advise of an increased likelihood of terrorist activity. Thus, a higher threat level in such system indicates a higher level of risk to a particular facility. In an embodiment of the invention, the behavior of the system changes with a simple adjustment to the threat level.

  • Contextual Risk Indicators in Connection with Threat Level Management
    Publication number: 20100156630
    Abstract: A system is provided that that allows users to define factors that uniquely affect the security risk of certain events at a certain locale. The system can then change its behavior based on these custom risks and invoke various counter measures when threats are more likely. Accordingly, one embodiment of the invention provides for the use of contextual risk indicators in connection with threat level management.
