Patent number: 12666352Abstract: A security network provides reduced power consumption and more robust communication of messages in comparison to conventional wireless systems. Reducing power consumption as discussed herein ensures that the security system is able to operate for a long duration of time, potentially with minimal or no power from an electrical grid. Additionally, redundant communication paths as discussed herein provide a more robust way of selectively forwarding security data to a remote server. The availability of multiple communication paths ensures that a respective remote target recipient such as a server resource or remote communication device operated by a user can be notified of a trigger event during power failure conditions, such as when certain communication functionality of a security system is disabled.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: June 23, 2026Assignee: A9.com, Inc.Inventors: Stephen E. Gordon, Peter D. Besen, Julian I. Gorfajn

Patent number: 10686984Abstract: A connected camera system and computer-implemented method for processing visual data. The camera system and method provides control data to a mobile application of a mobile device. The camera system and method transmits the control data from the mobile device (via a cloud service) to a camera device. The camera device configured with a camera housing comprising a camera sensor that captures visual data (e.g., image or video data) in view of a lens. The camera device further configured with a processor coupled to a motor for rotating a shaft. The camera system and method receive the control data, and based on the control data, the processor controls the motor to rotate the shaft. The rotating of the shaft, in turn, rotates the camera housing, such that the camera sensor captures the visual data in view of the lens through a 360-degree plane of rotation.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2016Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: Waylens, Inc.Inventors: Michael Frank Schmidt, Dawei Shen, Haowei Zhang, Stephen E.

Patent number: 10657784Abstract: Techniques are generally described for controlling a camera to capture video based on one or more auxiliary motion sensors. First data indicative of motion may be received from a first motion sensor at a camera. In some examples, the first motion sensor may have a first field-of-view. Second data indicative of motion may be received from a second motion sensor at the camera device. In some examples, the second motion sensor may have a second field-of-view different than the first field-of-view. A determination may be made that the first data temporally corresponds to the second data. In some examples, an image sensor of the camera may capture first image data in response to the first data indicative of motion and the second data indicative of motion.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2018Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Stephen E.

Patent number: 9332288Abstract: A video processing system includes a video device that generates a request corresponding to video content. A conditional access module generates a video signal for transmission to the video device during a first time period, and terminates transmission of the video signal when the request is not authenticated during the first time period. In a further embodiment, the conditional access module generates a video signal for unscrambled transmission to the video device during a first time period, terminates the unscrambled transmission of the video signal at the expiration of the first time period, and continues with scrambled transmission of the video signal after the first time period.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2015Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Stephen E.
