Patent number: 10425317Abstract: A method includes periodically sending a polling call to an enterprise system outside the firewall at a first polling rate during normal operating conditions, monitoring for a fault condition, periodically sending polling calls to the device outside the firewall at a second polling rate when a fault condition is detected, the second polling rate being higher than the first polling rate. The second polling rate is used as result of a fault condition. The method also includes sending a problem report with the polling calls when the fault condition is detected.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2017Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: PTC Inc.Inventors: John Louis Taylor, John Thomas Canosa

Patent number: 10212055Abstract: A method to dynamically group devices based on device information, which is associated with a system for monitoring the device information that communicates information between a device and an enterprise. Information is collected from a device information source to obtain an actual status of a device. The actual status of the device is compared to a stored status of the device. The stored status is stored on a server of the enterprise. The enterprise determines if the actual status has been changed from the stored status. When a change is detected, the method performs at least one of the acts of automatically disassociating the device from a group that reflects the stored status and automatically associating the device with a new group to reflect the actual status.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2016Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: PTC Inc.Inventors: David Patrick Hart, John Louis Taylor

Patent number: 9712385Abstract: A method manages configurations of devices in a system that communicates information between a device and an enterprise. The method includes building a defined configuration for a device type. The defined configuration includes a set of value requirements. An actual configuration having values associated with the device is compared to the defined configurations. The actual configuration and defined configuration are stored in a database of the enterprise. The method also includes determining, in the enterprise, if the values of actual configuration match the corresponding value requirements of the defined configurations. The method runs business logic associated with the device based on a result from the step of determining if the values of the actual configuration match the corresponding values of the defined configurations. The matched configurations are stored for subsequent use.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2016Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: PTC, Inc.Inventors: John Louis Taylor, Timothy A. Rochte, Kiran Bhageshpur, David Patrick Hart
