  • Patent number: 11941969
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling a system to rapidly respond to wireless instructions being transmitted by a personal device over one of several communications networks that share a common RF medium are provided. During operation of the system, certain network communications may take priority over other network communications. Rapid response communications enable a user to communicate with the system, using the personal device, in a manner that does not collide or interfere with higher priority network communications.

  • Publication number: 20220246023
    Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods, devices and systems for detecting trigger events and executing security protocols. In one aspect, a method is performed at a server system that is coupled to a smart device system and a client device, the smart device system located at a premises. The server system: (1) detects an unverified user within the premises based on data collected by the smart device system, wherein the data is communicated to the server system via the wide area networks; (2) provides a notification regarding the unverified user to authorized users via the wide area networks; (3) receives, from a first authorized user, a first user input in response to the notification; and (4) in response to receiving the first user input, executes a security operation at the premises based on the first user input.

  • Patent number: 10146319
    Abstract: Systems and methods systems and methods for altering a state of system using a remote device that processes gestures are described herein. The electronic device can communicate with the system in response to monitoring a user generated gesture or other interaction. For example, a user can wave the personal device or wave to the personal device, and in response thereto, the personal device can transmit an instruction to the system that causes it to change its operational state. Thus, embodiments discussed herein enable a user to perform remote gestures with a first device to affect the operation of a second device.

  • Patent number: 9875647
    Abstract: A computer system detects a trigger event, which includes detecting an unverified user within the premises. A notification is provided regarding the detected trigger event to one or more authorized users distinct from the unverified user. Further, a first user input responsive to the notification and corresponding to instructions to execute a first security protocol is received from a first authorized user of the one or more authorized users. In response to receiving the first user input, the first security protocol is executed. Executing the first security protocol includes presenting to the unverified user an authentication request and monitoring the premises for a response to the authentication request. Furthermore, executing the first security protocol includes executing or declining to execute a second security protocol based on the response to the authentication request.
