  • Patent number: 12117546
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12069041
    Abstract: Methods and systems for offload of data from a wireless sensing device to a gateway device. A certificate that is generated by the management server in response to a determination that the gateway device is associated with a wireless sensing device is received during an initial connection with the management server. In response to confirming, based on the certificate, that the gateway device is authorized to connect to the wireless sensing device, the certificate is transmitted to the wireless sensing device; and data is received from the wireless sensing device in response to confirming that the wireless sensing device is authorized to connect with the gateway device based on the certificate.

  • Patent number: 11842577
    Abstract: A map-based notification system configured to perform operations that include: accessing a base-map that comprises a map-tile, the map-tile defining a speed limit of a location; receiving vehicle data that includes speed data; determining that the speed data from the vehicle data transgresses the speed limit associated with the location defined by the map-tile; and causing display of a notification in response to determining that the speed data from the vehicle data transgresses the speed limit associated with the location defined by the map-tile.

  • Patent number: 11709500
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11606736
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11204637
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10999269
    Abstract: A set of certificates are received at a gateway device from a management server, where each one of the certificates was generated by the management server upon determination that the gateway device is associated with a respective wireless sensing device (WSD). The gateway device receives from a first WSD an advertisement message indicating it is available for connecting to a gateway device. In response to confirming based on a first certificate of the set of certificates associated with the first WSD, that it is authorized to connect to the WSD, the gateway device transmits to the first WSD the first certificate and an identifier of the gateway device for enabling authentication of the gateway device at the WSD. The gateway device receives data from the first WSD, upon confirmation at the WSD that it is authorized to connect with the gateway device.
