  • Publication number: 20230403557
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes providing a system and method for providing remote servicing of a customer device over a secure short-range wireless communication network connection. The customer device may be configured to securely establish a secure short-range wireless network communication connection between the customer device and a mobile device associated with an authorized user. When the mobile device is communicatively coupled with a customer device, the user may be enabled to access various installation, configuration, troubleshooting, and/or settings changing services on the customer device via the secure short-range wireless communication channel.

  • Patent number: 11831488
    Abstract: A system and method for mitigating anomalies in a network device. One or a combination of mitigation actions may be pre-programmed into a plurality of customer premises equipment (CPE) devices. The mitigation actions may be available as temporary or permanent work arounds as problems are detected that match known or discovered patterns of log events. Unsupervised machine learning techniques may be used to identify and correlate new patterns of log events with device anomalies or malfunctions. When a new pattern of log events is discovered and correlated to an anomaly or malfunction in a group of CPE devices, the discovered pattern may be written to the group of CPE devices with instructions to use particular ones of the mitigation actions. The CPE devices can then, in examples, monitor their own logs to detect the patterns and implement one or more of the mitigation actions.

  • Patent number: 11754773
    Abstract: A luminaire includes a housing with a cavity, a non-planar lens, and a light emitter. The non-planar lens is coupled to the housing. The lens defines a generally circular footprint and a concavo-convex shape. The light emitter is positioned proximate an edge of the cavity and is configured to emit light into an edge of the lens and toward a center of the cavity.
