Technology Highlights

• The invention detects any system or mobile phone equipped with Bluetooth technology. It accurately determines the number of individuals present in a specific area.
• The invention allows new devices to be added to a list stored on a computer. The computer stores information about each new device as a universally unique identifier (UUID) tag.
• The invention provides a computing device (such as a smartphone or tablet) to the user at a second location. This device identifies whether any detected nearby device is new that is, not previously stored or recognized.
• The invention enables the computer to store the name (UUID tag) of each new device when it is first detected in the accessible area.
• The invention provides alerts to the main user whenever a new device comes into contact with the system or any saved devices, as long as the system is active in the area.
• The invention enhances safety in potentially risky situations by supporting critical safety measures and enabling monitoring of worker or group member compliance and availability.
• The invention allows the user to pin any detected device in order to monitor its behavior. It identifies the activity of each pinned device and detects any changes in behavior over time.
• The invention utilizes high-bit-size AES-256 and SHA-256 encryption standards to provide robust data security. It passively encrypts backups without requiring manual passcode entry by using a secure data object from the individual's keychain.
• The invention secures the user's passcode, ensuring that data within files remains fully protected and inaccessible to unauthorized users.
• The invention improves upon traditional user authentication systems by replacing manual passcode input with automated, secure keychain-based access.
• The invention activates keychain object data encryption using AES-256 and SHA-256 standards and securely retrieves the SHA-256 hash from the keychain password store to ensure safe password handling.
• The invention provides an initialization vector used to serialize data into a meta-byte scheme for storage in the computer system.
• The invention includes electronic components such as a microprocessor, memory, and storage, that are used to process and store serialized data and computer programs in a machine-readable or computer-readable medium.
