Publication number: 20220350710Abstract: Responsive to a request from a user device, a content server may perform an electronic discovery function. The request may include information on a quantity of data objects desired from a collection of data objects stored in a repository. Objects stored in the repository may be managed by the content server. The content server may determine a number of batches and process the collection of data objects into batches, each having a batch size. An efficient selection process may be determined and utilized in selecting data objects from each of the batches such that a total number of data objects selected from the collection is not less than the quantity of data objects desired. The content server may make a disk image of the selected data objects and communicate same to the user device over a network.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2022Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Patrick Thomas Sidney Pidduck, Laura Hélène Boyd

Publication number: 20220335796Abstract: A system includes a plurality of sensors distributed about a space. Each sensor generates sensor data associated with properties of one or more people in the space. An automated response subsystem receives the sensor data. An unauthorized activity performed by a first person in the space is detected based on at least a portion of the received sensor data. In response to detecting the unauthorized activity, tracking instructions are transmitted that identify the first person associated with the unauthorized activity. A tracking device receives the tracking instructions. A device associated with the first person is detected. Over a period of time, the tracking device sends queries to the device and receives corresponding responses from the device. The tracking device determines positions of the device within the space over the period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2021Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Daniel Mercado, Andrew Thomas Boyd, Sanjay Arjun Lohar, Michael James Sbandi

Publication number: 20220335241Abstract: A system includes a plurality of sensors distributed about a space. Each sensor generates sensor data associated with properties of one or more people in the space. A gateway device receives the sensor data from each of the plurality of sensors and provides the sensor data to an automated response subsystem over a network. The automated response subsystem receives the sensor data. A first feature value is determined based on the received sensor data. An event score is determined based on the first feature value. The event score is compared to predefined response criteria. Based on the comparison of the event score to the predefined response criteria, an actionable event is detected, and an automated response to initiate for the detected actionable event is identified. One or both of an alert and instructions are provided in order to initiate the automated response.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2021Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Daniel Mercado, Andrew Thomas Boyd, Sanjay Arjun Lohar, Michael James Sbandi

Publication number: 20220335791Abstract: A system includes a plurality of sensors distributed about a space. Each sensor generates sensor data associated with properties of one or more people in the space. An automated response subsystem receives the sensor data. An unauthorized event is detected associated with an adaptive-security device operating within the space and operating instructions are transmitted that identify security protocols to increase security of devices during the unauthorized event. An adaptive-security device operates within the space and receives the operating instructions. After receiving the operating instructions, the adaptive-security device determines whether a user is currently accessing secure information in the adaptive-security device. If the user is currently accessing the secure information, display of at least a portion of the secure information is prevented. If the user is not currently accessing the secure information, authentication requirements are increased for accessing the secure information.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2021Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Daniel Mercado, Andrew Thomas Boyd, Sanjay Arjun Lohar, Michael James Sbandi
