  • Publication number: 20240121129
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for configuring structures and environs based on detected users and generic or known itineraries are described. A system may include: a hub having a data store, non-transiently storing computer instructions for a hub tracker engine (THE) and for a hub response engine (HRE) and a processor; a tracker node; and a responding device. The HTE instructs operations including fine or coarse user detection, and tracking operations. The system thereby tracks the user within a structure and determines whether to respond to the user. The HRE configures the responding device as at least one of a current responding device, a next responding device, and a destination responding device. Coarse user detection may include powering-on the tracker node, establishing a tracker link with the hub, communicating a tracker data signal to the hub, and analyzing the tracker data signal for a presence of the user at a location.

  • Publication number: 20240121707
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to determining network coverage and/or network bandwidth. In some aspects, a method includes detecting, by a user device, one or more signals at a particular location, each of the one or more signals corresponding to a wireless network available at the particular location; for each particular wireless network available at the particular location, transmitting multiple data packets over the particular wireless network; collecting, in response to transmitting the multiple data packets, network parameters associated with transmission of the multiple data packets over the particular wireless network; transmitting, to a server, (i) the network parameters associated with the particular wireless network and (ii) location data identifying the particular location; and receiving, in response to transmitting the network parameters and the location data, information indicative of a reward being assigned to a user account associated with the user device.

  • Patent number: 11864001
    Abstract: An adaptive fifth generation (5G) communications system includes an adaptive 5G tower; a first adaptive 5G site coupled by a dedicated link with the adaptive 5G tower; and a second adaptive 5G site coupled by a direct link with the first adaptive 5G site. The direct link may be established by the first adaptive 5G site and couples the second adaptive 5G site with the adaptive 5G tower. Data signals may be communicated between the adaptive 5G tower and the second adaptive 5G site via the direct link and the dedicated link. Usage of the direct link is accounted for in a blockchain master ledger. The blockchain master ledger corresponds to an adaptive 5G model and may be separately maintained by each of the adaptive 5G tower, the first adaptive 5G site, and the second adaptive 5G site. The master ledger may include relay, processing, path, power, and transaction layers.

  • Publication number: 20230209338
    Abstract: A mobile device is configured for use with selected mobile services and performs operations including receiving a request to use a given selected mobile service (SMS) which facilitates virtualization of an application program, first identifying and retrieving mobile application data (MAD) associated with the SMS from a first data store and receiving the SMS. A server provides the SMS to the mobile device and the SMS provides at least one feature of the application program to a first user. The MAD facilitates providing of the SMS on the mobile device and the SMS facilitates providing of features of the application program without having the mobile device download and execute the application program. The operations may include communicatively coupling the mobile device with a wireless component (WC) which communicatively couples the mobile device with the server and first authenticating, with the WC, a subscriber identity module (SIM) for the mobile device.
