Abstract:
A unified, weighted, and common language mapping system and method for disaster response is described, with the ability to overlay infrastructure damage, responder assets, data source, and weighting factors including the ability to redact such maps for dissemination to media, the public, or the like. The system and method described herein also enable the real-time updating of maps with social media information and the like.
Abstract:
An optical scanner scans a first portion of a print of a body part such as a finger in a first area of an optical surface. The optical scanner detects a motion of the body part to a second area of the optical surface. This can be done in various ways. One way is for the optical scanner to detect a sliding motion of the body part to determine if most of the first portion of the print is in the second area. Another way is for the optical scanner to determine a rolling motion of the print based on a continuity of the print from the first area to the second area. A similar system and method is disclosed which detects a rolling motion of a body part by using a sleeve with multiple properties.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing an authentication credential mismatch warning are disclosed. More particularly, at least one character from an authentication credential required to access a resource is recorded. When a user attempts to enter the required authentication credential, a mismatch warning can be generated if a monitored character is input incorrectly. The user can then revise the authentication credential input, prior to submitting the authentication credential to the resource.
Abstract:
An optical scanner is configured to scan multiple print portions of a body part such as a finger. The optical scanner identifies a first one of the print portions in an area of an optical surface. An event such as launching an application is generated based on identifying the first print portion in the area of the optical surface. In addition, various events can be generated based on different combinations of print portions in different areas of the optical surface.In a second embodiment, a property detector is configured to identify different properties of a sleeve in different areas of a surface. An event is generated based on the detection of a property of the sleeve in an area of the surface.
Abstract:
Location information associated with a wireless access point is used to assist with emergency call routing. Additionally, the location information can be used to assist with determining where an emergency call is physically originating from. This location information is one or more of enterable, detectable and/or populated with the assistance of a location determining device, such as a GPS, associated with the wireless network. The location information can also be dynamic to account for mobile wireless access points, such as a mobile access point provided on public transportation. The location information is also associatable with an outbound communication, such as an emergency communication, with this location information usable to route the communication to an appropriate entity(ies).
Abstract:
The system of the present disclosure can determine that one or more of a selected person and communication device of the selected person has been or may be impacted by an emergency event and, in response, change one or more of the following: a greeting message provided to a contactor, a status of the selected person, and a communication event treatment of an inbound communication event from the contactor to the selected person and/or communication device to notify the contactor of an impact or potential impact of the emergency event on the selected person and/or communication device and/or service the inbound communication event notwithstanding the impact of the emergency event on the selected person and/or communication device.

Abstract:
The system of the present disclosure can determine, based on a satellite positioning system-based location of a communication device associated with a selected person and/or presence information associated with the selected person, that the selected person is currently in or will be in an area that has been or may be impacted by an emergency event and, in response, contact a communication device of the selected person to provide information related to the emergency event.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for removing noise from an audible signal are provided. More particularly, a vibration sensor is used to obtain a vibration signal from an environment including a communication device. The signal from the vibration sensor is combined with a signal from a microphone associated with the communication device, to create a modified audible signal. More particularly, a filtering or subtraction process can be performed with respect to the audible signal, at a time corresponding to an event detected as part of the vibration signal. The resulting modified audible signal can have reduced noise as compared to the original audible signal.
