  • Patent number: 11356605
    Abstract: An Internet of Things (IoT) or vehicle dash cam may store both a high-resolution and low-resolution video stream on a device. The video streams are selectively accessible by remote devices. Because of the relatively smaller storage requirements of low-resolution video files, retaining of additional video data on the vehicle device (beyond what would be possible with only high-resolution video) is possible. The user may be provided an option to adjust the amount of low-resolution and high-resolution video to store on the device. A combined media file may be generated by a device to include time-synced high-resolution video, low-resolution video, and/or metadata for a particular time period.

  • Patent number: 10349802
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a cleaning device that has at least one sensor for detecting at least one state variable, including carrying out a calibration measurement, establishing an electronic connection between the calibration sensor and a controller of the cleaning device, and electronically transmitting the reference value to the controller; and comparing the reference value with at least one measurement value of the sensor of the cleaning device and adjusting at least one correction function in accordance with the comparison. At least one state variable is detected and at least one reference value is determined by means of at least one calibration sensor independently of the sensor of the cleaning device. Future measurement values of the sensor of the cleaning device are automatically corrected using the correction function.
