  • Methods, systems, and media for indicating a security status of an IOT (internet of things) device

    US10834200B2 · Issued Nov 10, 2020

    • This patent details the use of Augmented Reality (AR) on a handheld device such as a smartphone (or head-worn smart-glasses) to identify the security status of IOT devices visually. This enables the user to easily 'see' compromised devices in augmented reality.

    • While this patent submission was made in 2017 and granted in 2020, imagine an implementation in a modern type of headset, such as Apple’s Vision Pro device.

  • Crowdsourced Reputations for Wireless Networks

    US20210302592A1 · Issued Dec 22, 2019

    • This invention describes a system where “bad" Wi-Fi networks are shown to the user of a mobile device via Augmented reality (AR), either through the screen of the mobile device or through head-worn smart glasses.
      As the user views their surroundings through their mobile device or smart glasses, augmented reality markers are overlaid onto the scene. These markers indicate whether the WI-FI in the close vicinity or establishment is safe to use, or is compromised.

  • Method and apparatus for implementing a handheld security system

    US7674298B1 · Issued Mar 9, 2010

    • Methods and apparatus for providing security to Bluetooth-enabled handheld or portable devices such as iPods, iPhones and other types of smartphones or PDAs.

  • Method and system for bi-directional updating of antivirus database

    US7080000B1 · Issued Jul 18, 2006

    • A method for maintaining updated antivirus files within a computer network comprising at least one user computer and at least one central service computer.

  • Method and system for predicting the incidence of a virus

    US7409720B1 · Issued Mar 7, 2006

    • Methods and apparatus for predicting the incidence of a new virus a within a computer system based upon previous infections recorded within that system.

  • System, method, and computer program product for conditionally allowing access to data on a device based on a location of the device

    US US20130246465 A1 · Issued Sep 19, 2013

    • A system, method, and computer program product are provided for conditionally allowing access to data on a device based on a location of the device. In use, a location of a device storing data is identified. Furthermore, access to the data is conditionally allowed, based on the location.
