A method and apparatus for protecting property, wherein the method comprises receiving information indicating an attack on the property, determining, from the received information, a type of attack upon the property indicated by the received information, and transmitting a data packet to a receiver, the data packet comprising metadata describing the determined type of attack.

A method (500) for protection of a vehicle (100), the method comprising: receiving information from a sensor (502); comparing the information with known signatures indicative of a likely attack (504); determining whether a known signature indicative of a likely attack is present (506); and if a known signature indicative of a likely attack is present, placing at least one system of the vehicle into a heightened state of alert (508).

Security systems for secured assets such as vehicles, are described in which facial recognition systems or other biometrics systems provide enhanced security for an authorized user. Subtle or covert cues provided by the user during authentication or subsequent monitoring of the user by the facial recognition system and other input systems are used to invoke user-editable personal security rules that respond to the cues to implement the user's desired responses for added security in various situations. Related security systems, methods, and devices are described to protect an asset such as an automobile or other vehicle or other secured asset through the use of biometrics and personal security rules. In such systems, a training module may provide periodic training and practice sessions to assist the user in being prepared to properly use the personal rules system in response to various scenarios and threats, and can guide adjustment of personal rules for better success.

A method, system and computer program product are provided for implementing 5G network-based information exchange across Internet of Things (IoT) enabled vehicular devices for amplified dynamic security. A 5G enabled amplified security manager is provided to implement enhanced amplified dynamic security for parked vehicles. The 5G enabled amplified security manager is provided with each enabled parked vehicle providing a 5G ad-hoc network. Information is dynamically collected and exchanged between the 5G enabled amplified security managers. When abnormal behavior is detected based on analysis of the collected data, the abnormal behavior information is sent on the 5G ad-hoc network triggering protective actions in co-ordination with all the devices in the network and provides security amplification.

Embodiments of the present invention are generally directed towards providing a multipurpose event detection sensor and a communications means for delivering a payload notification. In particular, embodiments of the present invention are configured to provide a system comprising a sensor capable of detecting events, such as vibrations of varying forms and amplitude, generating an alert based on certain parameters of those events and transmitting that alert to a remote system via a communications means.

Techniques are disclosed for transporting objects using autonomous vehicles. In an embodiment, a customer makes a reservation with a transportation service provider (e.g., via an online booking application). The customer provides a pick-up date/pick-up time window, a destination and a description of the object(s) (e.g., luggage/cargo) that the customer will be transporting with or without themselves in the autonomous vehicle. After the computer system identifies the physical characteristics of the object(s), it identifies an autonomous vehicle with the appropriate amount of storage/container space with respect to the identified physical characteristics, and then assigns the vehicle to the customer. On or around the pick-up day, the computer system configures the assigned autonomous vehicle with reservation details including a description of the objects. At the pick-up location, sensors are used to authenticate/identify/localize/track each passenger and their respective objects, and to determine if any object is unsafe or illegal to transport.

A device for secure tire and wheel protection including: a control module, the control module including: an interface for connecting the control module to a factory alarm of a vehicle; a tilt sensor; and a glass break sensor.

A detector, system and method for detecting vehicle lock status are provided. The detector comprises a motion sensor configured to sense vehicle door open and close movement; a microphone configured to record sound patterns generated with targeted events; a wireless communication module; a memory for storage; a battery for supplying power; and a controller connected to the motion sensor, microphone, wireless communication module, memory and battery respectively and configured to switch on or off the microphone and the wireless communication module according to signals provided by the motion sensor, and control the wireless communication module to transmit sound files wirelessly. The detector is designed and sized to be attached to the vehicle door. The detector is easy to use, easy to install, yet affordable for detecting the lock status of the vehicle and show the lock status on the driver's smart phone even if he/she has walked away.

A vehicle monitoring system for monitoring and providing real-time notification and vehicle-related information to a remotely located user is presented. A vehicle monitoring system can comprise a camera of a vehicle configured to capture video, a transceiver for wireless connectivity, a position sensor, and an onboard device. The onboard device, having a processor and a memory, can be configured to monitor position data from the position sensor, determine whether the position data exceeds a predetermined threshold, and generate a notification report when the position sensor data exceeds the predetermined threshold. The transceiver can be configured to transmit the notification report to a third-party device of a third-party. The vehicle monitoring system enables the user to receive timely and relevant information related to possible vehicle theft or unauthorized use of the vehicle.

The vehicular viewer system includes application software in communication with a server via a communication network; an electronic device; at least one mountable camera; a sensor mechanism; and a vehicle. The vehicle viewer system includes an application software in communication with a server via communication network through an electronic device enabling a vehicle owner to remotely activate at least one mountable camera and sensor mechanism in a vehicle providing a safe and secure area in and around a vehicle by which can be remotely viewed.
