Systems and methods described herein facilitate the tracking of events relating to property. For example, in certain embodiments, a system includes a property event detection device (e.g., smart home device, sensor device, and so forth) configured to detect activity (e.g., motion, light, sound, and so forth) proximate the property. The system also includes a property event tracking system configured to receive data (e.g., images, videos, facial recognition, movement recognition, object tracking, sound signatures, wireless data streams, and so forth) relating to the activity from the property event detection device, to determine whether the activity relates to a property event (e.g., home service, and so forth) for the property, and to store data relating to the property event in a distributed ledger (e.g., blockchain network) upon determination that the activity relates to the property event for the property.

Property event tracking systems and methods

A system and method for modifying one or more vehicle control systems in a target vehicle prior to a collision with an approaching vehicle are disclosed. The system and method include detecting that a collision is imminent and controlling one or more vehicle control systems automatically to change the impact duration and/or location, depending on the type of collision detected.

System and method for pre-collision adjustments in vehicles

A system and method provide a two-way pager system. Members use pager systems to communicate in situations where they lack power or access to other modes of communication. For example, the pagers have a switching system that allows users to broadcast information about their current situation in an emergency. For example, the system could use switches that could be set to three different settings. Separate switches could be used for different categories of resources required in an emergency, and the switches could take on settings that represent resource requirements and availability. A centralized system listens for pages from users' pagers that transmit the switch settings for the categories. The centralized system then determines which users lack certain resources, which users have sufficient resources, and which users need certain resources. The system then transmits information through the pager network to inform users where to find resources that they are lacking.

Two way pager system

A communication device is disclosed. Specifically, the communication device may be a telephone service powered hotspot that plugs into a telephone jack of a Public Switched Telephone Network. The telephone plug of the hotspot provides power and a telephone connection for the hotspot. The hotspot may include a modem that can use the telephone connection to connect the hotspot to an Internet Service Provider. By using such a connection, the modem can provide dial-up internet connectivity for the hotspot. The hotspot can use the power supply to provide a wired or wireless power source for nearby devices after a disaster disables usual power sources. The hotspot can use the internet access from the modem to provide wired or wireless internet access for the nearby devices. However, because dial-up connectivity can have a very limited bandwidth, the hotspot may throttle applications when the bandwidth requires such throttling.

Telephone service powered hotspot

A remote haptic signal-based method and system of performing an authentication of video of a person in order to authorize access to a secured resource. The system and method are configured to cause a remote computing device to generate a vibration while collecting sensor data from the same device. The sensor data is evaluated to determine whether the appropriate motion response from the remote computing device is present. If the response is present, the system determines the image is authentic and can verify an identity of the person, and can further be configured to automatically grant the person access to one or more services, features, or information for which he or she is authorized.

Haptic feedback-based video authentication method and system

A system and method for using wearable device data and data gathered from a vehicle's onboard sensors to provide a more accurate and/or robust set of information about an accident. In one embodiment, a smartwatch is connected to the CAN bus of a vehicle so that data can be transmitted between the watch and onboard sensors. In one embodiment, onboard vehicle sensors may detect a sudden deceleration indicating that an accident may have occurred. At the same time, data from an occupant of the vehicle can be used to confirm if the occupant experienced a sudden deceleration at the same time, indicating that a crash has occurred.

System and method for vehicle collision analysis

The present disclosure is related to a focal awareness system that includes processors and memory storing instructions. The instructions may cause the processors to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to present an online meeting window on a display during an online meeting, identify a location of a camera with respect to the display, and position the online meeting window on the display based on the location of the camera. instructions may also cause the processors to identify a position of a video window within the online meeting window, identify a respective location of each camera of a matrix of cameras with respect to the position of the video window, determine a closest camera having a shortest distance with respect to the position of the video window based on the respective location of each camera of the matrix of cameras, and activate the closest camera.

Focal awareness system for online collaboration

A remote signal-based method and system of performing an authentication of video of a person in order to authorize access to a secured resource. The system and method are configured to cause a visual and/or audio pattern to be displayed in a remote computing device while collecting image data from the same device. The image data is evaluated to determine whether the appropriate response from the person is present. If the response is present, the system determines the image is authentic and can verify an identity of the person, and can further be configured to automatically grant the person access to one or more services, features, or information for which he or she is authorized.

Reflexive response-based video authentication method and system

A system includes at least one processor and at least one non-transitory computer-readable media communicatively coupled to the at least one processor. In an embodiment, the at least one non-transitory computer-readable media stores instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to perform operations including receiving a request to insure an item of personal property. The operations also include determining ownership of the item based on information stored on a distributed ledger. The operations also include determining authenticity of the item based on the information stored on the distributed ledger. The operations also include determining a value of the item based on the information stored on the distributed ledger. The operations also include generating an insurance policy for the item based at least in part on the ownership, the authenticity, the value, or any combination thereof.

A method and system of intelligently deploying protective structures along the sides of a vehicle in order to protect the vehicle from damage is disclosed. The vehicle includes two protective structures such as bumpers that are each stored in a retracted position during normal vehicle operations. The system receives data collected by sensors in the vehicle to determine whether an accident is likely. If the system determines there is a high likelihood that an accident will occur, one or both protective structures can be deployed from the sides of the vehicle to protect the body of the vehicle from damage.
