Patent number: 11632659Abstract: An indoor geolocation system for determining a location in three-dimensional space includes a plurality of base stations and a mobile device movable about an indoor environment in three dimensions. The mobile device detects electromagnetic signals in the indoor environment emitted by devices other than the base stations, and generates a signal profile based on the signals. The mobile device transmits the signal profile to one or more of the base stations, which forward the signal profile to a remote server. The system determines a location of the in three-dimensional space of the mobile device by comparing the signal profile to data regarding signal profiles at a plurality of locations in the indoor environment. The data regarding signal profiles in the indoor environment may have been captured by a detection device other than the mobile device at a time prior to the detection of the electromagnetic signals by the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2020Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPInventors: Robert Mesirow, Alec Massey, Devin Yaung

Publication number: 20220400355Abstract: Techniques for determining levels of interactions amongst entities in a group are provided. A plurality of mobile electronic devices detect signal data indicating when pairs of devices are proximate to one another. A receiver receives the detected signal data, and a data structure representing a contact network is generated based on the received signal data. Based on the contact network, a first metric is generated comprising a quantification of an average number of other entities in the contact network with which an entity in the contact network will have interactions in a predetermined amount of time. Based on the contact network, a second metric is generated comprising a quotient comprising of a size of a component of the contact network divided by an overall network size of the contact network. Based on the first and second metric, a level of interaction amongst entities in the group is determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Applicant: PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPInventors: Alec MASSEY, Laurence Palk, Marc Mazzle, Patrick Parodi, Robert Mesirow, Siddhant Bhatia, Jordan Srote, Jonathan Howlette

Publication number: 20210398684Abstract: A system and method for generating a risk score for an observer device based on the wireless signals that are emitted from one or more wireless devices is provided. The system and method includes receiving, by an analytic server, a request for tracing data associated with a first device identifier of a first observer device; generating, by the analytic server responsive to receiving the request, tracing data including a second identifier of a second observer device and a risk score indicative of a degree of association between the first observer device and the second observer device; and transmitting, by the analytic server, the tracing data to a human resource (HR) server associated with an organization, wherein the tracing data causes the HR server to notify the second observer device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Applicant: PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPInventors: Robert MESIROW, Patrick PARODI, Marc MAZZIE, Stillman BRADISH, Srdjan MARINOVIC

Publication number: 20210313074Abstract: Techniques for performing automatic contact tracing using a fleet of mobile electronic devices are provided. By collecting and storing signal data detected by the fleet of devices, the system generates a historical record of timestamped signal data from which interpersonal interactions may be inferred. The system may retrieve information from the stored historical record to determine what users were in contact with a target user during a target time period. The determination may be based on which other devices were proximate to the target device, at what time those other devices were proximate, how close those other devices were, and/or the amount of time for which those devices were proximate. The system may applying one or more algorithms (e.g., a “proximity score” calculation) to the stored record in order quantify and/or characterize a risk for users of devices that were proximate to the target device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2021Publication date: October 7, 2021Applicant: PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPInventors: Robert MESIROW, Patrick PARODI, Marc MAZZIE
