  • Patent number: 11140457
    Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for determining and establishing network path for a streaming video device. The device may receive video from a remote digital video recorder (DVR) through a first access point (AP) wirelessly connected to second AP of the remote DVR, wherein the streaming video device, the first AP, and the remote DVR share a network, wherein the remote DVR includes a third AP. The device may determine a first connection quality associated with a first frequency band between the streaming video device and the first AP. The device may determine a second connection quality associated with a second frequency band between the streaming video device and the second AP. The device may determine that the second connection quality exceeds the first connection quality. The device may establish a direct connection between the streaming video device and the second AP using second frequency band. The device may receive DVR video over the second frequency band.

  • Patent number: 9875459
    Abstract: The present disclosure introduces methods and systems for tracking pieces of wellsite equipment. Such tracking includes receiving first identification information and first location information for a first module associated with a first piece of wellsite equipment at a first location, receiving second identification information for a second module associated with a second piece of wellsite equipment at the first location, and determining a tracking event associated with the second piece of wellsite equipment based on the first identification information, the first location information, and the second identification information. A utilization state associated with the second piece of wellsite equipment is then determined based on at least the tracking event.
