  • Publication number: 20260037058
    Abstract: A system for remotely controlling an appliance/device by a user includes a tracer affixed to a face or thumb of the user, wherein a change in position of the face/thumb of the user changes position of the tracer, a tracer position sensor positioned proximate said tracer, said tracer sensor configured to detect a position of said tracer relative to said tracer sensor, a processor control unit having a processor, a power supply, a memory, and a communications system to process a tracer sensor signal based on the detected position of said tracer relative to said tracer sensor into a command, and said processor communicates said command to the appliance/device via said communications system, and thus enables hands free commands to be communicated to an appliance/device.

  • Publication number: 20240333727
    Abstract: A dynamic hybrid residential threat detection method is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a packet selector on a customer premises equipment (CPE), communication sessions and selecting and sending, by the packet selector, a predefined number of packets of the communication sessions to a CPE detection engine based on packet selection rules. The method also includes inspecting, by the CPE detection engine, the predefined number of packets of each communication session based on CPE detection rules that establish what type of inspection is to be performed by the CPE detection engine based at least in part on CPE resource constraints. The method further includes sending, by the packet selector, the predefined number of packets of at least some of the communication sessions to a cloud detection engine and blocking particular communication traffic on the CPE based on the inspection and/or an instruction from the cloud detection engine.

  • Patent number: 12058152
    Abstract: A dynamic cloud-based threat detection system is disclosed. The system comprises a network broker that receives communication sessions associated with communication device(s) via a network and selects and sends a predefined number of packets of each communication session to a detection based on packet selection rules. The communication device(s) comprises customer premises equipment (CPE) and/or a mobile communication device. The detection engine receives and inspects the predefined number of packets of each communication session and a governor that initiates blocking of particular communication traffic based on the inspection. The system also comprises a dynamic optimizer that monitors factor(s) and creates and sends updated packet rules to the network broker based on the monitoring. The network broker selects and sends a different predefined number of packets of each of a second plurality of communication sessions to the detection engine for inspection based on the updated packet selection rules.
