  • Patent number: 11770315
    Abstract: A system for obtaining information about an Internet of Things (IoT) device connected to a network includes a data traffic collection point, a data processing module and an artificial intelligence module. The data traffic collection point collects data units communicated to or from a specified IoT device of a plurality of IoT devices connected to a network. The data processing module processes quantitative information pertaining to the data units communicated to or from the specified IoT device collected over a defined time interval, to create a temporal data traffic fingerprint of the specified IoT device. The artificial intelligence module utilizes a machine learning model to deduce device identifying information of the specified IoT device from the temporal data traffic fingerprint of the specified IoT device.

  • Patent number: 10955824
    Abstract: A method for operating an industrial automation system communication network, wherein at least one control unit controls functions of a plurality of communication devices for operating a communication network that includes plurality of communication devices, where the communication network is subdivided into a plurality of partitions which each include a plurality of end nodes as service access points and predeterminable shares of system resources of communication devices, where guaranteeable service quality parameters, which may be mapped in a multi-dimensional service quality parameter matrix for each partition, are determined for each data transmission within the partitions, by a pair of end nodes and in a manner dependent on direction, where each partition is assigned uniquely to a respective user together with the guaranteeable service quality parameters, and where potentially available system resources and authorizations for each respective user are specified by the assigned.
