  • Publication number: 20250085534
    Abstract: A display system may include a head-mounted display (HMD) for rendering a three-dimensional virtual object which appears to be located in an ambient environment of a user of the display. One or more eyes of the user may not be in desired positions, relative to the HMD, to receive, or register, image information outputted by the HMD and/or to view an external environment. For example, the HMD-to-eye alignment may vary for different users and/or may change over time (e.g., as the HMD is displaced). The display system may determine a relative position or alignment between the HMD and the user's eyes. Based on the relative positions, the wearable device may determine if it is properly fitted to the user, may provide feedback on the quality of the fit to the user, and/or may take actions to reduce or minimize effects of any misalignment.

  • Patent number: 12243414
    Abstract: Machine learning-based methods are disclosed to intelligently generate dynamic workflows, such as dynamic call lists and priority levels of alarm notifications. To generate a dynamic call list based on an alarm notification, the system may identify electronic devices present in an area using emitted passive electromagnetic signals (e.g., RF signals such as Bluetooth, WiFi, and/or cellular). The identification of the electronic devices may be associated with known and/or unknown individuals on the premises. The RF signal data may be processed using at least one ML model to determine the severity of the alarm. Based on the processed data, the system may assign a priority level to the alarm, where the priority level may range from level 0 (no action) to level 4 (dispatch law enforcement immediately). The disclosed methods use trained machine learning models to generate a dynamic call list and identify false alarms with increased accuracy.

  • Patent number: 12242576
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may relate to techniques for detecting login activity to a financial account during a knowledge-based authentication process. The login activity may be related to access to an online interface for the financial account. The detection of login activity during the authentication process my indicate that the integrity of the authentication process is compromised as login access may provide an individual with transaction data that may be used to answer transaction-based authentication questions. As a result of detecting login activity, an alternative authentication process may be initiated or an authentication request related to the financial account may be denied.
