  • Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for timer-based management of communication devices
    Patent number: 11316972
    Abstract: A method of management of a communication device in an aircraft may include transitioning the communication device from a normal mode to a disabled mode based on a calculated device sleep time based on data associated with transportation information of the device. One of these modes may be a state of the device in which a transceiver of the device is deactivated and the other mode may be a state of the device in which the transceiver is activated. Therefore, the device sleep time determines when the wireless device's transceiver may not be activated.

  • SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA FOR LOGICAL CLUSTERING OF PACKAGE DATA AND DERIVED ANALYTICS AND SHARING OF SENSOR INFORMATION
    Publication number: 20130297525
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed for verifying integrity of a cluster. The methods, systems, and computer-readable media may receive data identifying a first set of packages at a first location and generating a cluster based on the received data. Thereafter, additional data identifying a second set of packages at a second location may be received and the integrity of the cluster at the one or more additional locations may be verified. The integrity of the cluster may be verified based on a comparison of a verification cluster that is generated based on the received data at the second location with the originally generated cluster.
