Methods, systems and apparatuses are described herein to provide adaptive severity functions for alerts, particularly security alerts. The adaptive severity functions may be aligned with an existing global security situation to upgrade or downgrade the severity of new and existing alerts. By taking into consideration the time factor along with other parameters, the alerts may be prioritized or reprioritized appropriately. The modification of the severity level for the alerts may be made based on rules and/or one or more triggering events or by using severity functions with or without the aid of artificial intelligence based on best-practice preferences.

The technology disclosed herein enables an endpoint system to present a visual indicator that user communications have been suspended. In a particular embodiment, a method includes exchanging audio user communications for the communication between the first endpoint system and a second endpoint system. At the first endpoint system, the method includes determining that the second endpoint system caused a suspension of the audio user communications and providing a first visual indicator of the suspension.

A controller for making initiating actions in a building management system (BMS) is shown. The controller includes a processing circuit configured to receive location data relating to the building occupant located at a first location outside of a building. The processing circuit is configured to, in response to determining the first location is within a first distance range of the building, provide control signals to a first subsystem of the BMS. The processing circuit is configured to receive location data relating to the building occupant located at a second location outside of the building. The processing circuit is configured to, in response to determining that the second location is within a second distance range of the building, provide control signals to a second subsystem of the BMS.

A time-based wireless pairing operation between a medical device, such as a patient bed, and a wall module in a patient room is initiated in response to a power plug of the medical device being plugged into a power receptacle carried by the wall module. Times determined by timers of the medical device and the wall module are compared by the wall module or by the medical device so that wireless pairing occurs only with the medical device that was plugged into the wall module. Different types of plug detectors used in the wall module to detect connection of the power plug include optical detectors, mechanical switches, and current sensors.

An apparatus includes a measuring device, a position specifying circuit, and a determining circuit. The measuring device measures a plurality of subjects by radiating a detecting wave toward the plurality of subjects. The position specifying circuit specifies positions of the plurality of subjects on a basis of information obtained by the measuring device. The determining circuit determines at least one of: a next subject suitable as a subject to be visited next by a monitoring person among the plurality of subjects; and a movement path along which the monitoring person moves from a position of the monitoring person to the next subject on a basis of the positions of the plurality of subjects specified by the position specifying circuit. A method performs the operations of the measuring device, and the circuits.

Various embodiments of a fall-detection system for detecting personal fall while preserving the privacy of a detected person are disclosed. This disclosed fall-detection system can begin by receiving a sequence of video images comprising a person being monitored. The disclosed fall-detection system then processes each video image in the sequence of video images by: detecting the person in the video image; and extracting a skeletal figure of the detected person by identifying a set of human keypoints from the detected person. Next, the disclosed fall-detection system processes the sequence of skeletal figures corresponding to the sequence of video images by labeling each skeletal figure in the sequence of skeletal figures with an action among a set of predetermined actions. The disclosed fall-detection system subsequently generates a fall/non-fall decision for the detected person based on the set of action labels corresponding to the sequence of video images.

A vehicle includes a plurality of cameras configured to capture a surrounding situation of the vehicle, an external speaker configured to output a sound to the outside of the vehicle, a communicator configured to communicate with a first server, and a controller configured to determine a degree of risk of the dangerous situation based on the degree of risk based on a case where a dangerous situation is captured through the plurality of cameras, to control an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) module to detect obstacles around the vehicle, to control at least one of a digital key and an external speaker to output a message for the dangerous situation or an image in which the dangerous situation is captured, and to transmit the image in which the dangerous situation is captured to the first server through the communicator.
