Patent number: 11974147Abstract: An architecture for providing an on-demand dynamic cloudlet instantiation by leveraging a grouping of software defined network devices and their respective associated analytics modules. A method can comprise receiving quality of service data representing a 5G small cell device of a group of 5G small cell devices; generating a policy rule representing a predictive policy to facilitate an instantiation of a dynamic on-demand cloudlet node into a fog of dynamic on-demand cloudlet node instantiations; and facilitating the instantiation of the dynamic on-demand cloudlet node into the fog, by a hybrid fiber coaxial device, based on the policy rule and an indication received from the hybrid fiber coaxial that a traffic surge in communications with the 5G small cell device has occurred.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Moshiur Rahman, Shrikant Acharya

Patent number: 11914987Abstract: A system and method for an eSync update agent is provided. The update agent can communicate with an eSync client, which receives software updates from an external server and transmits the software updates to the update agent. In turn, the update agent may use its programming to determine one or more aspects of the software update, such as when or whether to perform the software update on its associated electronic device and whether to rollback the update in response to a failure performing the software update on its associated electronic device. The update agent may also be tasked with performing one or both of data gathering from or device control of its associated electronic device. The various functions, including software updating, data gathering and device control, may be programmable and activatable, thereby tailoring the functions performed by the update agent to the lifecycle needs of its associated electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Excelfore CorporationInventors: Shrikant Acharya, John Crosbie, Pawel Veselov

Patent number: 11917018Abstract: A system and method for an eSync bus protocol is provided. The eSync bus protocol uses a broker to route communications between electronic devices within an electronic environment, such as within a vehicle or the like. The electronic devices may first register with the broker, and thereafter send messages to the broker for routing to other registered electronic devices. In this way, the broker may act as an intermediary to route communications using the eSync bus protocol. A multi-client architecture is also provided in which multiple domains may be defined by the functions performed by electronic devices within a respective domain.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Excelfore CorporationInventors: Shrikant Acharya, Anoop Balakrishnan, John Crosbie, Pawel Veselov

Patent number: 10834207Abstract: A System and Method for Updating Software in a Vehicle is provided. Software in a vehicle may, at times, be subject to update. In this regard, a server may send the update software to one or more electronic devices in the vehicle. The server may receive the capabilities of the electronic devices in the vehicle, such as the memory, computational, security capabilities, or the like, and tailor the sending of the software update based on the capabilities of the electronic devices. For example, the division of the software update, the sections of memory from which to determine the delta, the compression schemes, and/or where certain functions (such as where decryption occurs) may be dependent on the capabilities of the electronic devices in the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Excelfore CorporationInventors: Shrikant Acharya, Shrinath Acharya, Anoop Balakrishnan, John Crosbie

Patent number: 9992735Abstract: A system and method for vehicle wireless connection management is disclosed. Vehicles may provide wireless connectivity to the Internet for associated mobile devices. The vehicle, using a vehicle access point management device, may manage whether to connect to a cellular wireless system or to another wireless system (such as a Wi-Fi access point external to the vehicle). In particular, the vehicle access point management device may access a location-based access point map that correlates potentially available Wi-Fi access points correlated to geographic locations, and using the current location of the vehicle and the location-based access point map, determine whether to attempt to connect to a Wi-Fi access point. In this way, the vehicle access point management device need not initially search for available Wi-Fi access points, which in a single Wi-Fi antenna vehicle, could potentially disrupt the Wi-Fi connection to the associated mobile devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2017Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Excelfore CorporationInventors: John Crosbie, Shrikant Acharya

Patent number: 9882958Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for remote monitoring of mobile computing devices. The method and systems can use cloud-type services to monitor the mobile computing devices. The cloud-type services can include a server that is configured to maintain a virtual link between one or more web-based computing devices and the mobile computing devices. So that, even if the mobile computing devices are not communicating with the server, the server can perform one or more actions to maintain the link between the web-based device and the mobile computing device. The cloud-type services can also include a server that authenticates the mobile computing devices, and that sends a link to the mobile computing device if the mobile computing device is authenticated, the link for use by the mobile computing device to connect to a back-end server that is separate from the server.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2014Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: Excelfore CorporationInventors: John Edward Crosbie, Anoop Balakrishnan, Shrikant Acharya, Shrinath Acharya
