Patent number: 12213090Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2023Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Maxwell Dergosits, Jim Rowson, Kevin Russell Coates Lloyd

Patent number: 12182166Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Jennifer Zhang, Wei Wu, Christopher Mozzocchi, Joanne Wang, Henry Qin, Christopher Cunningham Frost, Zach Dylag

Patent number: 12179629Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Alexander Thomas Govan, Alvin Wu, Benjamin Chang, Jennifer Zhang, Katherine Lee

Patent number: 12170931Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for route tracking overlapping geofences. A route management system provides for route tracking of overlapping geofences. For example, the route management system tracks the amount of time that a vehicle is within geofence, even when the vehicle has not departed a previous scheduled stop and/or is within multiple overlapping geofences. The route management system determines that the vehicle has arrived at the scheduled stop when the amount of time that the vehicle has been within the geofence encompassing the scheduled stop meets a threshold period of time. As a result, the route management system accurately logs a vehicle as having arrived at multiple scheduled stops that have overlapping geofences.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2022Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Sachal Nanda, Sean McGee, Alex Wu, Tirso Peguero, Emily White, Eric Shreve, Wei Wu
