Patent number: 12008092Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for identifying a user based on the classification of user movement data. An identity verification system receives a sequence of motion data characterizing movements performed by a target user. The sequence of motion data is received as a point cloud of the motion data. The point cloud is input a machine-learned model trained based on manually labeled point clusters of a training set of motion data that each represent a movement. The machine-learned model identifies a movement represented by the point cloud of the motion data and assigns a label describing the movement the point cloud. The system generates a labeled representation of the sequence of motion data comprising the label identifying a portion of the sequence of motion data corresponding to the identified movement.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2022Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: TruU, Inc.Inventors: Lucas Allen Budman, Amitabh Agrawal, Andrew Weber Spott

Patent number: 12008093Abstract: Provided is a system for face authentication which can operate separately for individual providers of face authentication service in a stable and efficient manner. The system includes: face authentication machines; an administrator terminal; a face management server for storing face image data of registered users; and face matching servers, each configured to generate face feature amount data of a person to be verified from image data acquired from a camera of a face authentication machine and to perform a matching operation by comparing the face feature amount data of the person with that of the registered users. Prior to face authentication, data of associations between face authentication machines and face matching servers entered by an administrator is transmitted from the administrator terminal to the face management server.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2023Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Kentarou Nakamura, Masashi Ozono, Takao Shime

Patent number: 12008094Abstract: A technique for managing, in a centralized manner, user accounts in a control system which includes two or more units is provided. A control system (2) is provided with first and second units (200, 300). The first unit (200), upon reception of an access request to the first unit (200) from an external device (500), requests the external device (500) to input a user account, and transmits the user account received from the external device (500) to the second unit (300). The second unit (300, U3) refers to registration information (330) defining account information of registered users, and, when the user account is determined to be registered, transmits to the first unit (200) a token indicating permission of access. The first unit (200) transmits the token received from the second unit (300) to the external device (500).Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2020Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventor: Yuta Nagata

Patent number: 12008096Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein for authenticating a user. A security device may use an object associated with a user and a device of the user to authenticate the user, for example, if the user has forgotten a password. A user may insert the object (e.g., a card, or other object) into the security device and may select an option to authenticate via a device that is trusted by both the security device and the user, rather than authenticating by entering a password at the security device.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2023Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Emily Smith, Erik Neighbour

Patent number: 12008097Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for fire control system authentication are described herein. One method includes authenticating a user device to an authentication server, receiving, from the authentication server, an offline token, and authenticating the user device to a fire control panel using the offline token.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2021Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventor: Henning Heister

Patent number: 12008098Abstract: A system and method for facilitating device and application authentication between an external device and an implanted medical device (IMD), wherein a therapy application executing on the external device is operative to communicate with the IMD via wireless telemetry communications. A device authentication parameter may be decomposed into two key components, wherein one component may be stored in a cloud key vault and the other component may be distributed to the external device as an obfuscated portion embedded in the therapy application. Upon receiving the therapy application, the external device is operative to separately retrieve both key components and reconstitute the original authentication parameter therefrom, which may be presented to the IMD for authentication.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2021Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Advanced Neuromodulation Systems, Inc.Inventors: Greg Creek, Scott DeBates

Patent number: 12008100Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of determining a first output impedance of a first electronic control unit, determining a second output impedance of a second electronic control unit in response to the first output impedance is outside of a range of a first threshold of the first electronic control unit, and notifying in response to a difference between the second output impedance and a second threshold of the second electronic control unit is less than a further difference between the first output impedance and the first threshold.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2021Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Satyajit P. Patne, Ryan N. Wilson

Patent number: 12008101Abstract: Methods and systems for protecting a secure computing system. Aspects include connecting a pluggable security card to a motherboard of the secure computing system. Aspects also include activating a detection circuit to monitor a physical connection between the pluggable security card and the motherboard. Based on detecting that the physical connection between the pluggable security card and the motherboard has been interrupted, aspects include setting a tamper event flag, wherein the secure computing system is prevented from being operated when the tamper event flag is set.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Steven Charles Erickson, Clinton William Erie, Shawn Matthew Johnston, Michael John MacPherson, Ryan Paske
