Patent number: 12117546Abstract: A management server in communication with one or more object tracking devices is disclosed. The management server may receive location information, configuration information, and orientation information associated with the one or more object tracking devices. Based at least in part on the location information, the management server may receive weather information associated with the locations of the one or more object tracking devices. Based at least in part on the location information, the weather information, the configuration information, and the orientation information, the management server can determine power generated and power consumed by the one or more object tracking devices, which then can be used to determine estimated operation time for the one or more object tracking devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2024Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Kevin Russell Coates Lloyd, Neel Sheth, Gautam Ravi Ramaswamy, James Michael Rowson

Patent number: 11709500Abstract: A method and a gateway system of a mobile asset are described. A voltage produced by a power system of the mobile asset is monitored by a gateway system. In response to determining that a first fluctuation occurs in the voltage produced by the power system of the mobile asset over a first interval of time, the gateway system operates in a first mode. In response to determining that a value of the voltage produced by the power system of the mobile asset is less than a voltage threshold, the gateway system automatically transitions to operating in a second mode, which is different from the first mode and causes the gateway system to consume less power than when it is operating in the first mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2020Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Kevin Russell Coates Lloyd, James Michael Rowson, Maxwell Anton Dergosits, Elias Ray Dykaar, Erin Maria Bailie

Patent number: 11606736Abstract: A gateway device for providing a dynamic network activation and/or handover is disclosed herein. The gateway device may determine a first location of the gateway device and identify a first geographical area from a network provider map. The gateway device may identify network desirability information associated with the first geographical area and identify, based at least in part on the network desirability information, a first network provider. The gateway device may determine a second location and a second geographical area from the network provider map. Based at least in part on network desirability information associated with the second geographical area, the gateway device may perform or not perform a network activation and/or handover.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2021Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Kevin Russell Coates Lloyd, James Michael Rowson, Aidan Siobhan Madigan-Curtis, Gautam Ravi Ramaswamy

Patent number: 11204637Abstract: A method and a gateway system for enabling adaptive power management. The gateway system is powered by a rechargeable battery that is coupled with a solar power source. A location reading indicating a location of the gateway system is transmitted at a first time. A solar profile is received from a management server. The solar profile indicates a measure of power expected to be generated at the location during an interval of time that occurs after the first time by the solar power source. The gateway system determines based on a current battery level of the rechargeable battery and the solar profile an optimal power usage plan for the gateway system and operates according to the optimal power usage plan during the interval of time.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2021Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Samsara Networks Inc.Inventors: Brian Tuan, Kavya U. Joshi, James Michael Rowson, Justin J. Delegard, James Austin Duffield, Kong Kee Poon, Christian Peter Almer, John Bicket
