  • Patent number: 10742306
    Abstract: A monitoring platform may obtain information concerning a location of a node device on a wire and information concerning a location of an antenna of a customer premises equipment (CPE). The monitoring platform may cause, based on the information concerning the location of the node device and the information concerning the location of the antenna of the CPE, the node device to move from a first node device position to a second node device position on the wire. The monitoring platform may cause the node device and the CPE to communicate via a communication link.

  • Patent number: 9898777
    Abstract: A framework for a machine-to-machine (M2M) application development is disclosed. The framework enables users to login and affect devices and applications that may interact with the devices by enabling M2M applications. The framework enables M2M application creation, management, and development of various profiled devices based on pre-defined data models associated with corresponding devices. Furthermore, the framework enables marketplace options to permit users to specify purchase options as well as to buy devices and applications.

  • Patent number: 9544067
    Abstract: A device includes an audio capture device for receiving an audio signal in an ultrasonic frequency range. The device includes a processor to determine whether the received audio signal corresponds to an ultrasonic message. The processor extracts a content of the ultrasonic message, when it is determined that the received audio signal corresponds to an ultrasonic message, automatically handles the ultrasonic message based on the extracted content, stores at least a portion of the content of the ultrasonic message, and displays the portion of the content of the ultrasonic message to a user of the mobile device at a time subsequent to a time of the receipt of the audio signal.

  • Patent number: 9271321
    Abstract: A device may determine a condition for providing customer information to a mobile device. The device may detect the mobile device, and may request, from the mobile device and based on detecting the mobile device, information that identifies a user communication preference associated with providing the customer information to the mobile device. The device may receive, from the mobile device and based on the request, the information that identifies the user communication preference. The device may determine whether the customer information is to be provided to the mobile device based on the user communication preference and the condition, and may selectively provide the customer information and an instruction to the mobile device based on determining whether the customer information is to be provided to the mobile device. The instruction may cause the mobile device to relay the customer information to a network storage device.
