Patent number: 10419949Abstract: A computing device forms a predictive composite score by retrieving geographically based wireless networking performance data derived from at least one mobile device. At least some of the geographically based wireless networking performance data is temporally averaged and geostatistically combined to form the predictive composite score. The predictive composite score is a forecast of expected performance quality of a wireless communication network in a particular geographic region.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2015Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Root Wireless, Inc.Inventors: Paul Griff, Ron Dicklin, Jason Browne, Edward Charles Luschei

Patent number: 10367759Abstract: A mobile device is arranged to perform an adaptive speed data collection method. A host application running on the mobile device cooperates with a background service also running on the mobile device. The background service is arranged as a state machine. On each pass through the state machine, quality of service (QoS) data associated with a particular wide area network, such as a cellular network, is collected. Also on each pass through the state machine, a sample time value is calculated based on a plurality of asserted triggers and rules applied to the asserted triggers. An alarm is loaded with the sample time value, and the background service is suspended until the alarm expires or an interrupt is asserted. The asserted interrupt begins a new sequential pass through the state machine.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2017Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Root Wireless, Inc.Inventor: John Jarvis

Patent number: 9886937Abstract: The disclosure relates to a computer implemented method and component defining a plurality of data structures, each data structure having a plurality of data elements. The method and component associate the plurality of data structures with a geographic area wherein each data structure of the plurality corresponds to its own unique sub-part of the geographic area. Each data structure of the plurality is rendered as a corresponding one of a plurality of adjacent, non-overlapping, mathematically regular hexagonal shapes. Each data structure is configured for programmatic loading of the plurality of data elements and display characteristics of each hexagon are specified based on data stored in the data elements of the data structure corresponding to each hexagon.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2015Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: ROOT WIRELESS, INC.Inventors: Ron Dicklin, Maciek Kozyrczak

Patent number: 9867067Abstract: A system for measuring the quality of a wireless communications network includes a measurement module coupled to a mobile device, such as a cell phone. The mobile device is provisioned for typical use on the wireless communications network. The measurement module receives measurement data from the mobile device over a first interface. The measurement module organizes the measurement data into a second format and transmits that data back to the mobile device over a second interface. The measurement module includes a real-time clock so that the data is transmitted back to the mobile device in order to be joined with other measurement data concurrently gathered by the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2015Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Root Wireless, Inc.Inventor: John Jarvis
