Patent number: 11551477Abstract: Disclosed is a process for performance monitoring and feedback for facial recognition systems. A first image for image matching from a camera capture device at a first location is received for purposes of image matching. A highest match confidence score of the first image to a particular stored enrollment image is determined. One or more image or user characteristics associated with the first image or first user is identified. The identified image or user characteristics and highest match confidence score are added to a facial recognition monitoring and feedback model. Subsequently, a particular one of the stored image or user characteristics consistently associated with a below-threshold highest match confidence score is identified, and a notification is displayed or transmitted including an indication of an identified facial recognition low match pattern and identifying the particular one of the stored image characteristics or user characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2021Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Paul D.

Methods and systems for allocating resources from component carriers to a public-safety mobile radio
Patent number: 9462447Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for allocating resources from component carriers to a public-safety mobile radio. An embodiment takes the form of a process that is carried out by carried out by a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Node B (eNodeB). The eNodeB makes a first determination to allocate resources to a given mobile radio. The eNodeB makes a second determination that the given mobile radio is a public-safety mobile radio. In response to making the first and second determinations, the eNodeB selects, based on one or more public-safety-communication criteria, a component carrier from among a plurality of component carriers managed by the eNodeB. The eNodeB allocates resources on the selected eNodeB component carrier to the given mobile radio.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Trent J.

Patent number: 7688835Abstract: A communication system and a method of communicating data. A first backhaul site can be dynamically selected from a plurality of backhaul sites that are each configured to wirelessly communicate with an access point. A controller can dynamically configure a transmission parameter used to communicate a first backhaul data stream between the access point and the first backhaul site. The first backhaul data stream can be derived from a source data stream and can be wirelessly communicated between the access point and the first backhaul site. A second backhaul site also can be selected. A second backhaul data stream also can be derived from the source data stream and wirelessly communicated between the access point and the second backhaul site. The first and second backhaul data streams can be combined.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2006Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Michael D. Kotzin, Hao Bi, Brian K.

Publication number: 20090111474Abstract: A method, information processing system, and wireless communication system that selects a set of network paths for transmitting data to a serving network. The method first determines (404) that there is data to transmit to the serving network (102). For each of a plurality of base stations (106, 107, 108), an assessment of at least one traffic engineering parameter associated with each of the base stations (106, 107, 108) is performed (406).

Patent number: 7020087Abstract: The invention provides for path optimization for routing of a communication session in a network having a plurality of core networks coupled to a plurality of access networks. Both a core network and an access network perform the path optimization by determining a plurality of possible paths to a plurality of target access points to form a target matrix, determining a corresponding route preference factor for each possible path of the target matrix, and selecting, from the target matrix, a possible path having an optimal route preference factor. An overall or complete path, for routing of the communication session, is then determined either by combining the selected possible paths, or by selecting one possible path as a complete path.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2003Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Paul D.

Publication number: 20030140339Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining service interoperability in a communications network during software replacement in a component of the communications network having a cluster of devices. The method and apparatus generally involve the use of a name service in the devices to control the binding of client applications requesting logically de-centralized services to corresponding local services on the devices operating under the same software version. The name services utilize a database or registry of information relating to the logically de-centralized local services and logically centralized global services to determine the appropriate local or global service to which to bind the requesting client application. The database or registry may include information indicating the software release under which a local service is operating for use in binding the requesting client application to the appropriate local service.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2002Publication date: July 24, 2003Inventors: Thomas E.
