  • Patent number: 11523249
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for enforcing at least one rule associated with a geofence. At least one device is constructed and configured in network communication with a server platform and a database. The server platform defines at least one geofence for a region of interest and specifies at least one rule associated with the at least one geofence, thereby creating a rule-space model for the region of interest. The at least one geofence comprises a multiplicity of geographic designators with each geographic designator assigned with a unique IPv6 address. The at least one device receives at least one notification signal regarding the at least one rule from the at least one server platform and implements the at least one rule when the at least one device is within a predetermined distance from the at least one geofence for the region of interest.

  • Patent number: 11516107
    Abstract: In some examples, aggregation-based speed testing may include ascertaining, by a test speed analyzer, a test speed that corresponds to a maximum specified data transfer rate for a data transmission link. A test range generator may determine a maximum specified port speed of a test port of a device connected to the data transmission link. The test range generator may determine whether the maximum specified port speed is less than the test speed, and if so, divide the test speed into a plurality of test ranges. A total value of the test ranges may be equal to the test speed. A test performer may perform tests corresponding to the test ranges, and obtain intermediate test results. A test result generator may generate, based on aggregation of the intermediate test results, an aggregated test result that represents an actual speed associated with the data transmission link.

  • Patent number: 11463328
    Abstract: In some examples, a server may determine that a case, created to address an issue of a computing device, is closed and perform an analysis of a communication session between a user and a technician and the steps taken by the technician to resolve the issue. Machine learning may be used on results of the analysis to predict potential pain points. For example, steps that take longer than average and during which particular words spoken by the user increase in pitch and/or volume may be predicted to be potential pain points. The machine learning may create questions for inclusion in a custom survey based on the potential pain points. The custom survey may be presented to the user. The answers may be correlated with the potential pain points to determine actual pain points in the steps taken to resolve the issue.

  • Patent number: 11411769
    Abstract: A method for routing telegrams in an automation network with network subscribers interconnected via a data line network. At least network subscriber is a master subscriber, which sends telegrams to the network subscribers via the data line network. At least one network subscriber is a network distributor having a plurality of input/output ports, where input/output ports to which segments with further network subscribers are connected are designated as end ports. The master subscriber assigns a port address to each end port, and assigns the port address as an identifier to a telegram intended for processing for a segment with further network subscribers. If the network distributor receives a telegram with a port address of an end port of the network distributor as an identifier, the network distributor outputs the telegram directly via the input/output port of the network distributor corresponding to the end port of the port address.

  • Patent number: 11405481
    Abstract: A caching entity may store a cached copy of a service layer resource. An original hosting entity may maintain a registry of the corresponding cached resources. Optionally, the original hosting entity may set cache parameters to govern the lifetime of the cache on a caching entity. The caching entity may keep storing the cached copy of the resource and the original hosting entity may obtain statistics about the cached resource. By knowing the statistics, e.g. how many times a resource is retrieved on each caching entity, the original hosting entity may better manage the resource.
