Title: Method of verification
Inventor: Chaim Aaron James Green
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 2016-08-22
Abstract: A method to verify the identity of a communicating party 15 at a user device 10. A communication 101 is received at the user device and it is determined whether the information that identifies the communicating party also comprises a variable authentication sequence indicative of their identity. The authentication sequence is validated by it being compared to at least one pre-determined criteria. The authentication sequence may be based on static properties associated with the user or the device such as a telephone number, an International Mobile Equipment Number (IMEI), a secret key or it may be based on more dynamic properties such as time of day. An algorithm may be used to generate the authentication sequence. On verification of the communicating party a message may be displayed or an audio clip played. The method may be employed to prevent spoofing or imitation of a telephone callers identity, such as that of a bank, by a malicious actor.

Abstract: A system for remotely sensing light emanating from within a monitored environment. The system comprises one or more retro-reflective optical elements 1A bearing a photo-luminescent material 2 positioned within the environment. A light source directs a beam of light 5 at the elements and a detector receives the photo-luminescent light 6 generated by the elements in response and thereby detects a property of the monitored environment. The photo-luminescent emission varies according to a property of the monitored environment and may be a different wavelength to the incident light. The optical elements have an optically transparent body 4 that may converge incident light on the luminescent material, and a partially-reflective optical coating thereon 3, with the photo-luminescent material located between the body and the coating. Elements may be wholly coated by the photo-luminescent material and optical coating, or may partially bear the reflective coating, and otherwise bear an anti-reflective coating. Photo-luminescent materials may include Quantum Dots, PtTFPP or lucigenin and may measure temperature, pressure or salinity.

Title: Relay operations in a cellular network
Inventor: Salah Eddine Hajri
IPC: H04W88/04
Filed: 2017-06-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a relaying method for a cellular communication system. A base station groups a plurality of UEs (500) into a cluster of relay nodes, based on their relative locations. For example, proximal or “co-located” UEs, which lie within an area of a predetermined radius, may be grouped together to form a cluster. The cluster of UEs are scheduled as relay nodes in the cellular communication system. A base station may form multiple clusters. Each cluster of relay nodes may support communications between the base station and a target UE 800 or multiple target UEs 800. The clustered UEs act as a virtual MIMO base station. In a preferred embodiment communications are performed based on first and second link quality indications. The first link quality indication relates to the link between the cluster of relay nodes 800 and the target UE 500 and the second link quality indication relates to the link between the cluster of relay nodes and the base station.

Title: Method and apparatus for encoding image, and method and apparatus for decoding image
Inventor: BAE KEUN LEE
IPC: H04N19/503
Filed: 2012-11-02
Abstract: Reference samples (e.g. a(0,0), to r(0,0)) are generated for a 4x4 current block by deriving a first sub-sample (e.g. a(0,0), b(0,0), c(0,0)) based on a horizontal interpolation filter and then deriving a second sub-sample (e.g. e(0,0) to r(0,0)) based on a vertical interpolation filter, where the vertical filter uses values calculated from the first sub-sample. The first sub-sample is derived using a first shifting value and an 8-tap horizontal interpolation filter. The second sub-sample is one of two quarter position samples (e.g. e(0,0), p(0,0)) and a half position sample (e.g. i(0,0)), and is vertically aligned below the first sub-sample (e.g. a(0,0)). The second sub-sample is derived based on a second shifting value and an 8-tap vertical interpolation filter. The first and second shifting values are based on a bit-depth of a luma component and a constant value respectively. Coefficients for the quarter and half position samples are different from one another. Prediction samples of a current block are obtained using the reference samples, and the current block is reconstructed using residual samples obtained from the video signal and the prediction samples. A deblocking filter is applied to the reconstructed samples of the current block.

Title: Mobile device relay attack detection and power management for vehicles
Inventor: Vivekanandh Elangovan
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2019-02-05
Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for mobile device relay attack detection and power management for vehicles. A vehicle includes a first module for first protocol communication, a second module for second protocol communication, and a controller. The controller determines a first distance to a mobile device utilizing a signal strength, RSSI, of the first protocol communication and determine, upon receiving an entry request, a second distance to the mobile device utilizing a time-of-flight (TOF) of the second protocol communication. The controller prevents entry when the second distance does not match the first distance. The first communication protocol used can be BLUETOOTH (RTM) Low Energy (BLE) and the second communication protocol used can be WI-FI (RTM). The second protocol can have a smaller margin-of-error than the first protocol but consumes more energy than the first protocol. The entry request used to trigger the time-of-flight distance measurement communication can be a handle detection by a handle sensor or a passive entry request received when the mobile device is within a threshold distance of the vehicle. If the distances do not match a relay attack is detected.
