20150109428 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACIAL RECOGNITION - A user verification system employs forward and rearward facing imaging devices on a mobile communication device. An image is displayed on the display of a computing device from which a user wishes to access computer services. The user captures the displayed image with one of the imaging devices on the mobile communication device and simultaneously takes a picture of the user. An authentication system compares the displayed image captured by the mobile communication device with a stored image to determine a match. A successful match results in a displayed match indicator. In addition, the captured facial image of the user is compared with a stored image of an authenticated user. A successful match between the captured facial image and the stored image results in the generation of a facial match indicator. Computer access is granted to an authenticated user only if both the captured display image and the captured facial image result in a match with the stored counterpart images. | 04-23-2015 |
20140273914 | PANIC MESSAGING IN AN OFDM COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A panic button is activated in a wireless communication device to transmit an emergency message. Upon activation, the wireless communication device will monitor one or more predetermined tones in an OFDM system for confirmation that the emergency message has been received. If the emergency message confirmation has not been received, the wireless device can increase the effective transmission level and transmit the emergency message again. The cycle can be repeated where the effective transmission signal strength is repeatedly increased until the confirmation signal is received or until the device reaches its maximum output power. If the message is received, the emergency mode may be deactivated and the repeated transmissions terminated. The device can transmit geo-location data as part of the emergency message and may include an audible alarm activated by the panic button or remotely activated. | 09-18-2014 |
20140269557 | VERIFIED EMERGENCY GROUP COMMUNICATIONS - Wireless communication devices can be designated for group communication. A communication device, which may be part of the designated communication group, originates an emergency message to the communication group. Upon receipt of the emergency message, each wireless communication device that receives the message generates an alarm to alert the user to the arrival of an emergency message. Upon receipt of the emergency message, the user of each of the communication devices activates a response device to indicate that the emergency message has been received. The message originator receives the confirmation messages to determine that each of the members of the communication group have received the emergency message. If a device has not received the emergency message, transmission may be repeated or messages sent to the other group members to notify them of the failure of the device to respond to the emergency message. | 09-18-2014 |
20140269556 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UNIT IDENTIFICATION IN A BROADBAND PUSH-TO-TALK COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A broadband push-to-talk communication system provides identity data to uniquely identify a message sender in a group communication. The individual wireless devices that are part of a group call are each assigned a unique identity, which may be an IP address and/or other identity. When a PTT communication is initiated, the transmitting device transmits identity data in addition to the message. The message and identity data are relayed to each wireless device designated as part of a group call to permit unambiguous identification of the transmitting unit. When the PTT communication is terminated, the group members receive a terminating packet that will delete the sender identity. In addition to identity data, location data and other auxiliary data may also be transmitted to all group members. | 09-18-2014 |
