  • Patent number: 12485426
    Abstract: The present invention provides an automated data destruction system to remove data effectively and reliably from a mobile communication device. The system comprises a platform, a securement mechanism, a positioning mechanism, a power drill, a vision recognition system, and a controlling system. The vision recognition system and the processor identify the mobile communication device, and the controlling system controls the securement mechanism, the positioning mechanism, and the power drill to a corresponding location based on the identified mobile communication device and activates the power drill to penetrate the mobile communication device at an exact depth to restrict the damage to the flash memory chip.

  • Publication number: 20250357771
    Abstract: A multi-device charging dock comprising two rails and a plurality of device holders removably coupled between the two rails. Each of the device holders comprises a base and two flexible arms. The base has a substantially longitudinal configuration with a top surface, a bottom surface, a front surface, a rear surface, and two side surfaces, and further comprises a cable trough and a vertical channel configured to receive a charging cable. The cable trough is concaved along a longitudinal direction parallel to the length of the base and comprises at least one first openings on one of the two side surfaces. The vertical channel is concaved along a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and comprises a second opening on the top surface. The two arms extend upwards from the top surface of the base and configured to flex along the longitudinal direction to receive an electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11922730
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for methods for signature and identity verification and authentication. The system may comprise a plurality of visual capture devices, virtual data, and a plurality of virtual databases. The plurality of visual capture devices may capture a photo or video of the signee, the signature, a witness, or a combination thereof. The system may comprise a plurality of auxiliary authentication components for recording data such as the date, time, and location of the signature verification, as non-limiting examples. The virtual data may comprise visual data and other metadata. The method may comprise uploading the virtual data collected during the signature verification to a blockchain, where a signature authentication may occur or be recorded. Auxiliary authentication devices may include a plurality of audio capture devices, a plurality of geospatial capture devices, such as accelerometers or GPS, a plurality of pressure sensors, or any combination thereof, as non-limiting examples.

  • Publication number: 20220059127
    Abstract: This unique and novel invention provides a custom data removal jig used to reliably, efficiently, and cost-effectively remove data from a handheld mobile computing device (“PC device”). The data removal jig comprises an open-box structure which provides one or more alignment features to assist with properly inserting the PC device within the data removal jig. Additionally, a pilot hole is provided by the securement structure. Once the PC device is inserted into the data removal jig, the pilot hole is substantially centered above the integrated flash memory chip on the particular PC device's motherboard which the data removal jig has been customized to accommodate. A power drill is used to precisely penetrate the PC device via the pilot hole and substantially isolate the damage to the integrated flash memory chip. Additionally, the securement structure also provides one or more braces that assist with restraining movement of the securement structure during the data removal process.
