  • Patent number: 11487315
    Abstract: A method and a system for impact detection in a stationary vehicle are provided. The method includes putting a telematics device into a sleep mode, performing at least one micro wakeup, determining at least one value from at least one sensor during the micro wakeup. The method also includes storing the at least one value, returning to sleep mode, and waking up from the sleep mode. The method further includes sending the at least one value over a network interface to a telematics server. The telematics device which carries out the method has a controller, memory, and network interface. An accident impact profile may be recorded during the micro wakeups and sent during a wakeup duration for analysis by the telematics server.

  • Patent number: 11329922
    Abstract: Real-time cell performance information for each of cells in a mobile communication network, referred to herein as network topology information, is produced using IP addresses of data sessions in the cells, measured performance of the data sessions, and IP address to cell identifier mappings. The network topology information may be used to determine, in real time, a level of monitoring for each of the cells. The network topology information may be used to determine, in real time, performance of video streams in each cell. The network topology information may be used to determine, in real time, that a cell is experiencing a performance anomaly. Determinations made using the network topology information may be used to configure, maintain, and optimize the performance of the mobile communication network.

  • Patent number: 11307537
    Abstract: A communication system (1) comprises a central (100) and a peripheral (200). The central (100) receives location information and time information from NTP servers (10) and a location server (30). The central (100) creates first offset information of the time measured by its own device and the time information received from the NTP servers (10). The central (100) acquires from map information a time difference corresponding to a location presented by the location information received from the location server (30). The central (100) creates first updated time information based on the time measured by its own device, first offset information, and time difference corresponding to the location presented by the location information received from location server (30) and transmits the first updated time information to the peripheral (200). The peripheral (200) changes the time displayed by its own device based on the received first updated time information.
