  • Publication number: 20230401902
    Abstract: A system and related methods for management, planning and control of a connected fleet of vehicles. A unique, single integrated platform may be provided for management, planning and control of a connected fleet of vehicles, including fleet planning, in-fleeting operations, vehicle servicing, and vehicle maintenance and repairs. The systems combines self-reporting and self-management of a connected fleet vehicle (with on-board and installed sensors configured to identify actual or potential issues or problems in the vehicle, and report, request, and obtain/dispatch servicing via its cloud or network communications interfaces), and predictive failure algorithms (based on historical and current connected fleet vehicle data), with multiple probabilistic distributions for the distributed fleet to dynamically, in real time, determine and dispatch service with greater efficiency and lower costs for fleet operations.

  • Publication number: 20190357339
    Abstract: Multipurpose systems can include networked devices configured to include microphones, motion sensors, video cameras, touchscreens, optical sensors, speakers, or other suitable devices. The networked devices can include networking capabilities that enable the networked device to communicate with target devices and other networked devices. A system of networked devices can identify a target location or a target device by analyzing audio signals received at microphones of the networked devices. For example, a plurality of networked devices can identify a particular networked device that is in closest proximity to a user by analyzing an audio intensity of an audio signal received at the plurality of networked devices. The identified networked device can serve as a master device that can control a state of target devices.

  • Patent number: 10251115
    Abstract: Artificial intelligence-based, intelligent agent (IA) services may include an IA server assisting users of a wireless network in various communication scenarios (e.g., calls, texts, chats, etc.). A user may specify rules for managing communications directed to a User Equipment (UE) of the user. Examples of such rules may include intercepting an incoming call to the user, managing the call based on whether the user is available, determining a reason for an incoming call and notifying the user about the reason, inviting the user to join the call, adding other users to the call, recording portions of the call, providing requested information, taking notes, scheduling meetings, and providing other assistant-type services, etc. The IA services may also include monitoring, interpreting, and responding to information that is sent to, or by, the user, during a communication, in addition to implementing Machine Learning procedures for self-improvement.
