Patent number: 11769324Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: April 19, 2021Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Daniel Mercado, Andrew Thomas Boyd, Sanjay Arjun Lohar, Michael James Sbandi

Patent number: 11620888Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: April 19, 2021Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Daniel Mercado, Andrew Thomas Boyd, Sanjay Arjun Lohar, Michael James Sbandi
