Title: Method for real-time authorization within a push to talk for the internet of things system
Inventor: JACOB SHEM TOV
IPC: H04W4/70
Filed: 2019-05-30
Abstract: PTT (push to talk or press to transmit) two-way radio systems and talkgroups are ubiquitous in the public-safety realm and are employed by police, firefighters, air traffic controllers, emergency and public safety workers. The invention provides a method and apparatus for operating IoT (Internet of Things) devices via a PTT radio talkgroup. During operation each PTT device is assigned to a talkgroup. Some talkgroups may have a single IoT device assigned, and other talkgroups may have multiple IoT devices assigned. During operation, an action command is received over a talkgroup and a command is issued to an IoT device assigned to that talk group. A logic circuit may determine if a user has authorisation to be added to a talkgroup comprising an IoT device and authorisation to operate the IoT device. A PTT-to-things (or PTT-to-IoT) server may comprise a Natural Language Processor (NLP) which can receive a verbal action command (e.g. “unlock the door”, “turn on the lights”) from the user and determine the control command based on both the IoT device and the verbal action command. The control command may then be outputted to operate the IoT device.

Title: Image pickup device and imaging apparatus
Inventor: NORIO NEGISHI
IPC: H04N5/783
Filed: 2016-05-26
Abstract: An image sensor has an imaging portion that photoelectrically converts incident light. Analog to digital converters (ADCs) (111, figure 1) convert analog image signals output from the imaging portion to digital image data. A memory stores digital image data of at least one frame converted by the ADCs. A processor changes a data size of the digital image data converted by the ADCs. The processor generates second digital image data from first digital image data. The first digital image data is high resolution digital image data and is stored in the memory, and the second digital image data is possible to be output from the image sensor before the first digital image data in a case where the first digital image data and the second digital image data are output from the image sensor.

Title: Power socket for reducing wastage of electrical energy and related aspects
Inventor: DANIEL ROBERT WILLIAMS
IPC: H01R13/70
Filed: 2020-09-08
Abstract: An electrical socket contains circuitry to detect the power drawn and transmit this to a remote location such as a server. It also contains a relay so that the power can be cut off if the remote location assesses that power is being wasted, eg a TV set on standby. A machine learning system (ML) can be trained to identify the device and to determine wastage – this can be done by feeding in training data and adjusting weights until the correct output is produced. The assessment of wastage can include the time of day and whether a particular user is present (eg using access control data). A list of exceptions can be included using the device identification so that particular devices are not turned off. The ML system may give confidence levels for its assessments. A latching relay may be used so that power is not required in either state. The remote location may request that readings are sent at a different rate.
