Afshar is named on one patent, Systems and Methods for On-Device Person Recognition and Provision of Intelligent Alerts. The invention describes a decentralized, multi-camera system in which a security camera or video doorbell processes images locally. It detects faces, filters unsuitable or obscured images, aligns faces, and compares locally generated face embeddings with stored reference embeddings. Matching results can be sent to cloud services to help notify the device owner whether a person is recognized or a stranger. By performing face detection and recognition on the device rather than in the cloud, the system is designed to keep sensitive information on the device and support user privacy.
