  • Patent number: 12183469
    Abstract: A user score of a test for assessing a risk of a user of having or developing a contagious illness may be obtained, for each user of a plurality of users entering in a group setting. A group score based on the user scores associated with the plurality of users in the group setting may be generated. The group score indicating a group risk of a presence or development of the contagious illness in the group setting may be communicated for display. Group scores associated with a plurality of group settings may be obtained and communicated for display. A message may be communicated to a mobile user device indicating a group setting as a current high risk group setting, being associated with a score that is outside a limit set by a threshold value and with a location in proximity to a current location of the mobile user device.

  • Patent number: 12147563
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and apparatus for securing electronic personal identifying information. The system enhances data privacy, by minimizing the amount of authentic personal identifying information that is shared with a third party. Namely, the system includes a database of known websites, apps, etc. that require personal identifying information to sign up—and then classifies whether any given type of information is strictly necessary to the functioning of the website. The system then generates placeholder “dummy” data for any fields that are required for signup, but are not strictly necessary for the website to function. The system allows for creation of several user profiles that vary the amount of authentic personal identifying information to be shared, based on the user's preferences. The system therefore helps to secure personal information in the event that, for example, the website later has a data breach.

  • Patent number: 11954726
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to an Augmented Reality (AR) vehicle buying experience. A client can provide a series of client information, such as characteristics of a desired vehicle. A specified vehicle can be identified and characteristics of that vehicle can be identified. The characteristics of the vehicle can then be compared with the desired vehicle characteristics provided by the client to determine whether the vehicle corresponds to the desired vehicle of the client. Responsive to determining that the specified vehicle corresponds to the desired vehicle of the client, the client AR display can be updated to highlight the specified vehicle depicted in the display. Alternatively, responsive to determining that the specified vehicle does not correspond to the desired vehicle of the client, the client AR display can be updated to obfuscate (e.g., grey out) the specified vehicle in the display.

  • Patent number: 11830308
    Abstract: A user device may obtain access control data which is derived based on a test result or score of a test for assessing a risk of a user of having or developing a contagious illness. The access control data may be communicated from the user device to an access control system in response to a reading of the user device by the access control system. The access control system may permit or deny entry of the user into an area based on the access control data. In some aspects, the user device is an identity (ID) or access badge. In other aspects, the user device is a mobile user device having one or more illness risk factor assessment functions, where the test result or score is obtained based on resulting data from executing the one or more illness risk factor assessment functions.

  • Patent number: 11803658
    Abstract: A corporate information technology (IT) network can protect sensitive data sent to computers located outside of the IT network. For example, a customer of a company may control who can access his or her sensitive personal information by identifying his or her access preference included in an access control list, where the access preference describes a level of access that at least one remote employee or person may have to the customer's sensitive personal information. A data protection server may containerize the sensitive personal information and the access control list of the person in a data protection container. If a remote employee or a person requests access the customer's sensitive personal information, the data protection server may perform data protection related operations to provide the sensitive personal information to the remote employee or person.
