  • Patent number: 12170940
    Abstract: The subject matter described herein provides systems and techniques to automatically configure a proximal device, such as a smart watch, a tablet, or any other smart device, based on configuration information sent from the user equipment (UE) to the proximal device when the local communications connection, such as a wireless connection, between the devices is weak. If it is determined that there is a weak local communications connection between the UE and the proximal device the UE may automatically send network configuration information to the proximal device. If it is determined that there is a weak local communications connection between the UE and the proximal device the UE may automatically turn on its mobile hotspot, and automatically send the mobile hotspot configuration information to the proximal device.

  • Patent number: 12160825
    Abstract: A cross-network wake-up method and a related device are disclosed. In the method, an Internet of things (IoT) platform sends a wake-up instruction to an agent device that maintains a heartbeat connection to the IoT platform, and then sends, through the agent device, a wake-up message to a to-be-woken-up IoT device deployed on a same private network as the agent device. This resolves a technical problem that after a public-private network address mapping becomes invalid, a message from the IoT platform cannot reach a IoT device through a network address translation (NAT) device, and the IoT device cannot receive messages from the IoT platform.

  • Patent number: 12149441
    Abstract: A search engine queries a network model for behavior of the entire network, such as data flow, based on combinations of multiple network elements. The search engine provides the state information and/or predicted behavior of the network by searching network objects in a graph-based model or a network state database that satisfy constraints given in a search query. The search engine provides the state information and/or predicted behavior based on regular-expression or plain language search expressions that do not provide packet header information. The search engine parses such search expression into a sequence of atoms that encode forwarding paths of interest to the user. A flow path through the modeled network can be generated dynamically, within the context of the search queries.
