Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a portable mesh node to enhance a Wi-Fi connection throughput in an area with a weak coverage of an access point (AP). The portable mesh node provides an intermediate communication node that is moving to locations of the area which needs an improvement of the Wi-Fi connection throughput. A docking station is fixed in each location with a weak Wi-Fi connection throughput to provide a long-term energy source for the portable mesh node. Each docking station includes a power source to be coupled to the portable mesh node. The portable mesh node includes a transit power supply which provides a sufficient electrical energy during movements of the portable mesh node from a first location to a second location. Thus, the portable mesh node is capable of maintaining the Wi-Fi connection even during the movements between some locations.

Abstract: A system, tracking an object within an environ, includes a hub with a processor instantiating a vision recognizer, a data store storing location data including a first location model, and a first camera which captures and provides, within a first field of view (FOV), a first image to the hub. The first image includes a first depiction of a first captured location, and the vision recognizer determines an object is present at the first location when the first depiction of the first captured location corresponds to the first location model. The first image depicts an element present within the first FOV, the data store further stores an image library record including a first object model, and the vision recognizer determines whether the object is present at the first location when the element depicted in the first image corresponds to the object as modeled by the first object model.
