Patent number: 9894459Abstract: Various system and techniques for spatially aware smart device provisioning are described herein. Location data indicating a physical location of the configuration device can be received from the configuration device. A subset of one or more smart devices can be received from a device management module. The subset of one or more smart devices can be based on stored physical locations of each smart device of one or more smart devices and a predetermined area. The subset of smart devices can be presented to the configuration device. The configuration device can present the subset of smart devices to a user and accept a user selection of a smart device from the subset of smart devices to provision. The user selection of the smart device can be received. The smart device can be provisioned based on the user selection.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2016Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Digi International Inc.Inventors: Joel Baumert, Aaron Samuel Kurland

Patent number: 9208623Abstract: A system and method of transmitting vehicle information from a vehicle to a server across an external network. A vehicle bus connector module is plugged into a vehicle bus through the vehicle's vehicle bus connector. The vehicle bus connector module is also communicatively connected to a personal communications device. Vehicle information is collected from the vehicle bus and combined with information captured by the personal communications device to form a driver log. The driver log is transmitted to the server via the external network.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2012Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: Digi International Inc.Inventors: Joel Baumert, Joel K. Young, Curt Ahart

Patent number: 8583040Abstract: Various embodiments include a devices, systems, and methods to configure a wireless device. A wireless device may comprise a housing, a wireless communication interface, and a configuration interface. The housing may be configured to be mounted to an outlet supplying power to the wireless device via an electrical conductor. The wireless communication interface may be capable of connecting the wireless device to a wireless network. The configuration interface may be coupled to both the electrical conductor and the wireless communication interface and communicate with a configuration device directly attached to the electrical conductor. The configuration device may communicate configuration instructions to the wireless device over the electrical conductor by modulating power on the electrical conductor. The configuration interface may configure the wireless interface to connect the wireless device to the wireless network based on the configuration instructions.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Digi International Inc.Inventors: Joel Baumert, Bill Kumpf
