Publication number: 20250208906Abstract: In a network of mobile agents, data integrity can be improved by providing an agent server that can migrate between devices operating in the region of interest (ROI). The agent server distributes agent clients onto devices in the ROI and provides agent server services to the agent clients, including receiving and storing data from the agents. When the agent server device is to leave the ROI, the agent server can migrate to any device executing an agent client and continue to provide the agent server services, including data collection and aggregation, from the device to which the agent server has migrated.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2025Publication date: June 26, 2025Applicant: OL SECURITY LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANYInventor: Mark GERARD

Patent number: 11871316Abstract: Mobile agents can be deployed to mobile devices within specific regions of interest to achieve specific goals in respect of events occurring in the region of interest. In order to ensure that the agent can persist within the region of interest until the agent goals are achieved, the agent is configured to locate other devices within the region of interest and to propagate itself, by moving or copying itself, to those other devices. The region of interest may be a mobile and/or dynamic region of interest defined by, for example, a proximity to one or more mobile wireless access points or by an overlapping peer-to-peer communication range of a plurality of mobile devices that are configured to support the agent.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Philips North America LLCInventors: Robert W. Peterson, Mark Gerard

Patent number: 10779257Abstract: In order to determine the location of wireless network devices without inherent location capabilities, a wireless network device such as an access point can receive geolocation information from transient data sources such as mobile devices requiring network access from the access point. The access point stores geolocation records including location coordinates received from the transient data sources. The geolocation records can be processed to determine the position and movement of the access point. The geolocation records and/or location information can be passed to other transient clients that do not have inherent location capability.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2020Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: OPEN INVENTION NETWORK LLCInventors: Robert W.

Patent number: RE47585Abstract: Mobile agents can be deployed to location aware mobile devices within specific regions of interest to achieve specific goals in respect of events occurring in the region of interest. In order to ensure that the agent can persist within the region of interest until the agent goals are achieved, the agent is configured to locate other devices within the region of interest and to propagate itself, by moving or copying itself, to those other devices. When a device hosting the agent exits the region of interest, the agent is terminated, thereby freeing device resources.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2017Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: OL SECURITY LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANYInventors: Robert W.
