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: 10873791Abstract: A compression method for resource constrained local area networks (LANs) of an Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) reduces the volume of raw data sent from “Things” to connection points on the LAN. Applications include industrial processes, and typically include multiple sensor nodes. Sensors on machines wirelessly send data to a base station using a wireless LAN. A computer or server in communication with the wireless LAN computes the health of a machine based on the data received. The method operates by taking advantage of unique similarities between sequential groups of certain types of data that can be sent on the LAN. Mathematical operations are performed on the baseline and subsequent data sets to determine similarities. A difference is taken between the baseline and subsequent data sets, and this difference is compressed and sent to the base station where the original data is reconstructed using the baseline data and uncompressed difference data.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2019Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: KCF Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Carl, Jacob Loverich
