US Patent:

7047244, May 16, 2006
Filed:

Dec 29, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/747550
Inventors:

John S. McGeachie - North Reading MA, US
Assignee:

Orion's Belt, Inc. - Sudbury MA
International Classification:

G06F 17/30
US Classification:

707 10, 707 3
Abstract:

A method of determining a connection between a source party and a target party includes constructing a host database, the host database including a plurality of records, each record including a number of data fields, each of the data fields including identification information of a party, the identification information being extracted from non-restricted sources; constructing a client database, the client database including a plurality of records, each record including a number of data fields, each of the data fields including identification information of a party, the identification information being extracted from a client's private sources; receiving identification information of a source party and a target party; identifying a record in the client database including identification information of the source party; identifying a record in the host database including identification information of the target party; searching the data fields in the records of at least one of the client database and the host database to locate identification information commonalities between the source party record and at least one intermediate party record; searching the data fields in the records of at least one of the client database and the host database to locate identification information commonalities between the at least one intermediate party record and the target party record; and upon locating at least one identification information commonality between the at least one intermediate party record and the target party record, generating a list including the at least one intermediate party record.

Filed:

Apr 12, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/279511
Inventors:

John S. McGeachie - North Reading MA, US
Agnes M. Macksoud - Lincoln MA, US

Assignee:

Generate, Inc. - Maynard MA
International Classification:

G06F 17/20
US Classification:

707 5, 707102, 707 10, 707 6, 707 4
Abstract:

A system and method for determining a connection between a one or more “from” connections points and one or more “to” connections points, wherein connections between the connection points are determined as a function of intermediate connections in the path formed between the “from” and “to” connection endpoints.

US Patent:

8319606, Nov 27, 2012
Filed:

Oct 29, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/589883
Inventors:

John J. McGeachie - North Reading MA, US
Assignee:

CoreStreet, Ltd. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:

G05B 19/00
G07F 7/12
G06F 21/00
G06Q 20/00
US Classification:

340 581, 340 57, 340 586, 713185, 713182, 726 2, 726 3, 726 5, 726 6, 726 9, 705 65, 705 67, 708135, 708131
Abstract:

A validation module provides for the upgrading of a physical access control system (PACS) to full HSPD-12 compliance without requiring modification or replacement of the existing PACS. The validation module may contain all of the validation functionality required by federal specifications and technical requirements. The validation module may be installed between an existing PACS panel and a supported card/biometric reader. Readers may be selected based on assurance level requirements, e. g. , contactless or contact readers for low and medium assurance level areas and full biometric readers for high assurance areas. The validation module may validate a card according to the assurance level setting, extract ID information from data on the card and then pass the ID information to the PACS panel for an access decision. Cardholder data captured by one validation module may be distributed to other validation modules of the PACS using a management station.

G06F017/30
US Classification:

707/102000, 707/200000, 707/003000
Abstract:

A method of determining a connection between a source party and a target party includes: A. constructing a host database, the host database including a plurality of records, each record including a number of data fields, each of the data fields including identification information of a party, the identification information being extracted from non-restricted sources; B. constructing a client database, the client database including a plurality of records, each record including a number of data fields, each of the data fields including identification information of a party, the identification information being extracted from a client's private sources; C. receiving identification information of a source party and a target party; D. identifying a record in the client database including identification information of the source party; E. identifying a record in the host database including identification information of the target party; F. searching the data fields in the records of at least one of the client database and the host database to locate identification information commonalities between the source party record and at least one intermediate party record; G. searching the data fields in the records of at least one of the client database and the host database to locate identification information commonalities between the at least one intermediate party record and the target party record; and H. upon locating at least one identification information commonality between the at least one intermediate party record and the target party record, generating a list including the at least one intermediate party record.
