  • Patent number: 11838884
    Abstract: A system receives vehicle metric data from a gateway device connected to a vehicle via a network connection. In a first power mode, the vehicle gateway device gathers vehicle metric data related to operation of the vehicle and/or location data and sends requested vehicle metric data to the system. Based on a lack of input, the vehicle gateway device enters a standby power mode to reduce the power consumption of the vehicle gateway device. The vehicle gateway device reduces the power consumption by reducing activity of the vehicle gateway device. Instead of reinitiating a network connection periodically to receive requests for vehicle metric data from the system, the vehicle gateway device maintains the network connection by sending keep alive messages between the vehicle gateway device and the system. The system uses the maintained network connection to request vehicle metric data.

  • Patent number: 11780446
    Abstract: A vehicle device may execute one or more neural networks (and/or other artificial intelligence), such as based on input from one or more of the cameras and/or other sensors associated with the dash cam, to intelligently detect safety events in real-time. The vehicle device may further pass the input to a backend server for further analysis and the backend server can detect safety events based on the input. The vehicle device may analyze the output of the vehicle device and the output of the backend server to determine whether the output of the vehicle device is correct. If the output of the vehicle device is incorrect, the vehicle device can adjust how the vehicle device identifies safety events.

  • Patent number: 11752895
    Abstract: A system receives historical vehicle battery data from a gateway device connected to a vehicle. Some vehicles with plug-in rechargeable batteries recommend/require that the vehicle computer be turned off when recharging. Thus, obtaining a current state of charge while a vehicle is charging can be difficult because the vehicle computer can be off. While the vehicle/gateway device is unable to transmit current battery data, the systems estimate a battery charge from the historical data.

  • Patent number: 11748377
    Abstract: In various implementations, an asset gateway service receives log messages comprising asset data captured by a gateway device associated with an asset. The log messages each include a first identifier corresponding to a first representation of the gateway device, which itself is associated with a first organization. The service persists data from the log to a first datastore accessible by the first organization. The service also determines whether a second representation of the gateway device (i.e., a clone) exists. If so, the service persists at least some of the data from the log message to a second datastore, which itself may be associated with a second organization, thereby allowing both organizations to access the data in a secure yet convenient manner.

  • Patent number: 11741760
    Abstract: A management server system may obtain sensor data generated by a plurality of sensors from a plurality of gateway devices. The sensor data may be associated with a plurality of vehicles. The management server system may identify, for each vehicle of the plurality of vehicles, a subset of the sensor data associated with a particular vehicle. The management server system may generate, in real time, for each vehicle of the plurality of vehicles, a virtual representation of the particular vehicle based on the subset of the sensor data associated with the particular vehicle. The management server system may generate a user interface that includes visualizations of virtual representations of the plurality of vehicles. The management server system may update, in real time, the visualizations of the virtual representations of the plurality of vehicles based on obtaining additional sensor data from the plurality of gateway devices.

  • Patent number: 11720087
    Abstract: A system receives operations data and determines operations indicator(s) from the operations data. An operator on a manufacturing line reports a downtime event via a human machine interface device. The system receives downtime event and uptime information. The system calculates an operations indicator, such as an overall equipment effectiveness indicator, from the downtime event and uptime information. A user interface of the system includes the operations indicator(s) and visualizations. Some visualizations include a timeline indicating downtime events and other operations events. Additional downtime and uptime information is received by the system in substantially real-time. The system dynamically calculates updated operations indicator(s) from the additional downtime and uptime information.

  • Patent number: 11709500
    Abstract: A method and a gateway system of a mobile asset are described. A voltage produced by a power system of the mobile asset is monitored by a gateway system. In response to determining that a first fluctuation occurs in the voltage produced by the power system of the mobile asset over a first interval of time, the gateway system operates in a first mode. In response to determining that a value of the voltage produced by the power system of the mobile asset is less than a voltage threshold, the gateway system automatically transitions to operating in a second mode, which is different from the first mode and causes the gateway system to consume less power than when it is operating in the first mode.

  • Patent number: 11683579
    Abstract: A video gateway device at a worksite (or other location) is coupled to multiple cameras on a network, such as multiple cameras at a business site. The gateway device determines video stream capabilities of each camera and, based on the capabilities, determines whether any additional video steams need to be created for particular cameras. For example, for cameras that provide only a high-resolution video stream, the gateway will generate (e.g., via downsampling) a standard-resolution video stream for artificial intelligence (“AI”) analysis and a low-resolution video stream for viewing by a user. However, for cameras that provide both a high and standard-resolution video stream, the gateway device uses the camera-provided standard-resolution video stream for AI analysis, rather than generating a new video stream on the gateway device.
