Patent number: 11948346Abstract: A server system is described. The server system includes at least one processor and at least one memory storing a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to receive a plurality of machine learning (ML) models and ML model data from the plurality of mobile computing devices, where the ML model data includes metadata, and the ML model data excludes media. At least one group of the plurality of ML models is selected based on the metadata, each ML model of the at least one group tested, and a plurality of metrics is determined based on the ML models that were tested. Further, a set of ML models of the ML models that were tested is selected, and at least two ML models of the set of ML models are combined based on at least one parameter.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: The ADT Security CorporationInventor: Shy Ward

Patent number: 10755372Abstract: A system for interacting with a portable device is provided. The system is configured to process both personal and premises events, and includes at least one processor configured to generate device data for determining the location of the portable device and process sensor data in response to an event. The processor is further configured to generate situational data for the processed event. The situational data is based on the sensor data and the device data. The situational data includes information indicative of whether the event is an alarm event and if the event is the alarm event, whether the alarm event is one of a personal event and premises event. The processor is further configured to provide at least a portion of the situational data to the remote service site if the event is the alarm event and determine that confirmation has been received.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2019Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: The ADT Security CorporationInventors: Arthur Orduna, Dmitry Vaynriber, Andrew Droney, Shy Ward, Cynthia Haegley, Clinton Masterson, Bergen Davell, Robert Beaver, Thomas Nakatani
