Patent number: 11025517Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for a sensor web for Internet of Things (“IoT”) devices. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a system can monitor a health status of an IoT sensor device of a plurality of IoT sensor devices. The system can determine that the health status of the IoT sensor device indicates a sensor malfunction experienced by the IoT sensor device, and in response, can generate and send an alert to a forensic analytics module. The alert can identify the sensor malfunction. In response to the alert, the forensic analytics module can determine a last known location of the IoT sensor device. The system can obtain a set of satellite images of the last known location of the IoT sensor device, and can utilize the set of satellite images of the last known location to determine a cause of the sensor malfunction.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Timothy Innes, Alexander MacDougall, Nigel Bradley, Bhumit Patel, Christopher Carl, David Spivey, Wasib Khallil

Patent number: 10374470Abstract: An antenna system can be controlled to wirelessly transmit power to a mobile device in a far-field environment by using different types of metamaterials to shape and constrain the beam of power, controlling the antenna based on a predicted position of the mobile device, or both of these. The mobile device can use the power to charge a power source associated with the mobile device. The predicted position of the mobile device can be determined using position information, motion and direction information, and height information about the mobile device. The position of the antenna can be controlled so that the power is wirelessly transmitted to the mobile device in the Fresnel zone of the antenna.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Timothy Innes, James Pratt, Eric Zavesky, Bhumit Patel, Nigel Bradley
