  • Movable barrier anomaly detection and data backfilling
    Patent number: 12574441
    Abstract: A barrier operator monitoring system includes a barrier operator system and a cloud processing platform. The barrier operator system includes a movable barrier, sensors configured to measure data regarding the barrier operator system, and a barrier operator. The barrier operator is configured to move the movable barrier, detect a loss of a data connection between the barrier operator and the cloud processing platform, collect measured data from the sensors, perform wavelet transformation on the measured data, store coefficients of the wavelet transformation, and transmit, upon restoration of the data connection, the coefficients. The cloud processing platform is configured to receive the coefficients, reconstruct a representation of the measured data, compare the representation of the measured data to model data, detect an anomaly in the barrier operator system based on the comparison, and transmit a notification from the cloud processing platform to a user device.
