  • Patent number: 11997066
    Abstract: A data transmission system and method thereof for edge computing are provided. A terminal mobile station international subscriber directory number (MSISDN) and a terminal IP of a target terminal are obtained with a domain name system (DNS) by a device providing communication services from the data transmission system. After data packets are sent to the data transmission system, if the target terminal is in an idle mode, a paging message is sent by a terminal wake-up module to enable the target terminal to return to a connected mode for communication. Before a connection is established between the data transmission system and the target terminal, downlink data packets can be temporarily stored, and the packets can be sent after the target terminal is in the connected mode. A computer readable medium for executing the data transmission method is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240107495
    Abstract: During operation, a computer system may provide instructions to access points in an indoor environment to measure relative distances between the access points. Then, the computer system may receive the measured relative distances. Moreover, the computer system may calculate geographic locations of the access points based at least in part on the measured relative distances. Next, the computer system may select potential anchor access points in the access points, and may provide, to an electronic device, information specifying the potential anchor access points. Furthermore, the computer system may receive, from the electronic device, second information specifying anchor access points in the potential access points and defined locations of the anchor access points. Additionally, the computer system may update the geographic locations based at least in part on the defined of the anchor access points, and may provide, to the access points, the updated geographic locations.

  • Patent number: 6871305
    Abstract: A device for prolonging the lifetime of a nonvolatile memory is applied to the connection between a host electronic machine and a nonvolatile memory device. The device includes a RAM (Random Access Memory) buffer zone, a counter, and two sets of inverters, wherein the RAM buffer zone is employed to store a unit data train temporarily; the counter is used to count the total bits of logic “0”; the inverters are used to lessen the times for readying/writing a nonvolatile memory device by inverting the unit data train based on the count (for example, when the number of logic “1“s exceeds the number of logic “0“s, and the state flag keeps track of whether an inversion has occurred or is needed.
