Abstract: A food and beverage item identification and tracking device, and system for improving supply chain logistical operations and inventory management are disclosed. Multiple food and beverage item identification and tracking devices may be attached to corresponding beverage containers or food containers. Each of the food and beverage item identification and tracking devices includes a wireless communication device and a user interface. The user interface includes an LED to emit light responsive to an instruction received wirelessly, so that the food or beverage container is visually identifiable. The user interface may also include a speaker or buzzer so that the food or beverage container is audibly identifiable. A remote computing device may control the food and beverage item identification and tracking devices so that a subset of the tracking devices can be identified, and packaged for shipment. The system is designed to operate within either a distributor location or a reseller location.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a dynamic routing intelligent vehicle enhancement system and method. Intelligent land buoys can be proximately disposed to roadways. Each of the intelligent land buoys can gather situational awareness information about the roadways and one or more vehicles traveling thereon. The intelligent land buoys can compress the situational awareness information. One or more remote computer servers can receive the compressed situational awareness information from the plurality of intelligent land buoys, decompress it, and process the decompressed situational awareness information. The one or more remote computer servers can generate vehicle operational intelligence information based at least on the decompressed situational awareness information, and can transmit the vehicle operational intelligence information to the plurality of intelligent land buoys and/or directly to one or more autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles.

Abstract: A device, system, and method include receiving via a first network, by a remote computer server, a customized application from a user. The customized application is transmitted, by the remote computer server, to one or more intelligent cellular communications gateway devices. The customized application can be automatically installed and configured. Each intelligent cellular communications gateway device can receive local information from a device. The local information in analyzed and the local device can be controlled by the intelligent cellular communications gateway device boxed on the analyzed local information. In addition, the intelligent cellular communications gateway device can filter and/or compress the local information, and transmit via a cellular network, the filtered and compressed information, to the remote computer server.

Abstract: Embodiments include a universal key performance indicator engine associated with an Internet of Things. The universal key performance indicator engine can include a control logic section, a mining logic section to mine for device factors, network factors, and/or application factors associated with a subset of devices within the Internet of Things, and a universal key performance indicator logic section to generate a universal key performance indicator associated with the subset of devices based at least on the mined factors. The universal key performance indicator can be transmitted to a remote server and/or to an administrator of a network. When the universal key performance indicator crosses a predefined threshold, an alert or recommendation can be made to improve the operability, security, and performance of devices within the Internet of Things.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide methods and systems for algorithmically balancing cost and performance of cellular data connections in multipurpose communications gateways and other cellular enabled devices. A preferred mode of operation is determined. The preferred mode of operation can be selected from a plurality of modes of operation, each one being-sensitive to cost, coverage, or bandwidth considerations, or any combination thereof. Balancing logic receives information from a multipurpose communications gateway or other cellular device and algorithmically balances cost and performance considerations based on the preferred mode of operation and the received information. The balancing logic can cause the communications gateway or other cellular device to automatically switch telecommunications carriers, plans, and/or cellular networks to achieve enhanced performance and reduced costs.
