  • Data and event gap reconciliation across networks using different communication technologies
    Patent number: 9628562
    Abstract: Systems and methods automatically detect missing data and attempt to collect the missing data. The missing data may be related to a data reading or may be related to an event. The missing data is detected by comparing a communication received from an endpoint with previously received communications from the endpoint. The communication technology used by the endpoint may be considered in determining how to detect missing data and how to request the missing data from the endpoint. A single headend system may communicate with endpoints that use different communication technologies by adjusting the speed, batch size and the retry process used.
    Type: Grant
