Protected Asset SummaryWhat the patent protects. 17 granted claims. Three independent claims. Two continuation applications pending.
The granted claims of U.S. Patent No. 11,984,222 B2 cover code-at-camera visitor evaluation, networked visitor detection and notification, and sharing of wearable-sourced health data through a machine-readable code presented at the video doorbell camera. Detailed claim charts available during private review.
What the Patent Protects
U.S. Patent No. 11,984,222 B2 is an issued patent containing 17 granted claims (Claims 1–17), including three independent claims: Claims 1, 6 and 12. The remaining claims are dependent claims.
Code-at-camera
Smart-home method involving a video doorbell assembly with microphone, speaker, and optical camera configured to scan and read a machine-readable code displayed by a visitor's computing device; visitor information is processed and a notification is provided to the occupant.
Networked visitor detection
Smart-home-network method involving a video doorbell assembly with speaker, microphone, and optical camera configured to scan/read a machine-readable code; the system detects and communicates with a visitor computing device, processes visitor data, compares it with stored criteria, and provides a notification.
Wearable health-data handshake
Method of sharing health data using a smart-home network and video doorbell assembly in which a visitor device acquires real-time body-temperature information from a wearable sensor, generates a machine-readable code containing that information, and displays the code to the optical camera of the video doorbell assembly.
Single-unit video doorbell assembly
Claim 17 depends from Claim 1 and further specifies that the video doorbell assembly is a single unit housing the microphone, speaker, and optical camera, configured to be mounted adjacent to an exterior entrance of a home.
Safety Shield Products also has pending continuation applications directed to additional implementations and functionality. These pending claims are separate from the granted Claims 1–17 of U.S. Patent No. 11,984,222 B2 and remain subject to USPTO examination. The pending applications are directed to wearable-sourced data, RFID/IC-card paths, AI-assisted review, and wellness-awareness patterns. Detailed claim charts and feature mapping are available during private review.
