  • Patent number: 11622231
    Abstract: Systems and methods to track the respective locations of subjects over time. The system identifies subjects who, overtime, were co-located with one another suggesting they are associated with one another, and the pairs are analyzed. For each of the subjects, the system produces a vector that quantifies the subject's location history by including a respective weight for each combination of a time interval with a geographical area. The vectors are compared using a distance metric, and any pair of subjects whose vectors are sufficiently close are flagged as being an associated pair. The respective vector belonging to each subject is normalized to account for the total number of other subjects who were co-located with the subject. For each interval-area pair, the system may compute the frequency of the interval-area pair, and then divide each weight that corresponds to the interval-area pair by the frequency of the interval-area pair.

  • Patent number: 11576087
    Abstract: A core network device receives a fallback identifier from an access network device in a first radio access network when radio access technology (RAT) of a terminal is falling back from RAT of the first radio access network to RAT of a second radio access network. The first radio access network is a 5G network, and the second radio access network is a 4G network. The core network device determines, according to the fallback identifier, that the fallback of the RAT of the terminal from the RAT of the first radio access network to the RAT of the second radio access network is for establishing a voice service under the second radio access network. After the RAT of the terminal falls back from the RAT of the first radio access network to the RAT of the second radio access network, the core network device establishes a bearer/flow for the voice service.

  • Patent number: 11557151
    Abstract: An object identification system on a mobile work machine receives an object detection sensor signal from an object detection sensor, along with an environmental sensor signal from an environmental sensor. An object identification system generates a first object identification based on the object detection sensor signal and the environmental sensor signal. Object behavior is analyzed to determine whether the object behavior is consistent with the object identification, given the environment. If an anomaly is detected, meaning that the object behavior is not consistent with the object identification, given the environment, then a secondary object identification system is invoked to perform another object identification based on the object detection sensor signal and the environmental sensor signal. A control signal generator can generate control signals to control a controllable subsystem of the mobile work machine based on the object identification or the secondary object identification.
