  • Publication number: 20200019159
    Abstract: A machine to perform operations in a field includes a memory including instructions and processing circuitry that is configured by the instructions to receive coverage data from a server, where the coverage data is indicative of operations executed by another machine in the field. The processing circuitry that is further configured by the instructions to determine, using the coverage data, a strategy for performing operations in the field, where the strategy reduces the likelihood of the machine from processing an area of the field that was previously processed by the other machine. The processing circuitry that is further configured by the instructions to actuate the machine according to the strategy.

  • Patent number: 10261191
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums to collect Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) corrections reliably via multiple network links. In some examples, the GNSS corrections are obtained at a GNSS correction server via multiple network links. The GNSS corrections are processed at the GNSS correction server via a voting algorithm that determines the optimal instance of the GNSS correction to forward to the remote GNSS Client.

  • Patent number: 10101464
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of calculating a geospatial position by a mobile device by monitoring with the mobile device a first control channel from a first cell of a cellular communications system; monitoring with the mobile device a second control channel from a second cell of the cellular communications system at the same time as the first cellular control channel; receiving with the mobile device a first correction value sent over the first control channel; receiving with the mobile device a second correction value sent over the second control channel; receiving with the mobile device a signal from a global navigation satellite system; calculating with the mobile device the geospatial position based upon the signal from the global navigation satellite system and at least one of the first correction value and the second correction value.

  • Patent number: 9846238
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems and machine readable mediums to efficiently stream data across restricted networks. In some examples, this streamed data may be sent more efficiently using lower overhead protocols such as UDP. In order to bypass the aforementioned limitations on these lower overhead protocols, the client may send a periodic update message to the server. This update message maintains the openings in the network firewalls and updates the server on the client's status. This update message may be sent much less frequently than a typical TCP acknowledgement, and the lower overhead protocol may be a protocol that does not retransmit lost or corrupted packets—thereby eliminating unnecessary overhead. In some examples this streamed data may be GNSS correction data. In some examples, the client may be behind one or more network firewalls.
