  • Patent number: 12255728
    Abstract: A device and method for managing communication frequencies, including generating a geographical grid with a plurality of cells and allocating communication frequencies to the cells. Each of the communication frequencies is used for communication between a satellite and a ground device or ground IoT modem. A communication frequency allocated to one cell is different from the communication frequencies allocated to each of the immediately surrounding cells. A set of communication frequencies is selected for communication between the satellite and ground devices based on a ground track of the satellite. The selected set is transmitted to the satellite to communicate with the ground station located in a cell with the communication frequency allocated to that cell.

  • Patent number: 12218741
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes using satellites and ground sinks and/or stations for routing IoT device data packets from IoT devices. A target ground sink in range of the satellite is identified and an expected reception (ER) score for the target ground sink is calculated based on ER parameter data and location data of the satellite. A data packet in a first level of a multi-level data structure of the satellite is sent to the target ground sink and, based on an ER threshold exceeding the ER score, the packet is moved to a second level of the multi-level data structure, whereby the data packet is queued to be sent to another ground sink. The disclosure further includes using cell towers as ground sinks and/or using them for backhauling with other ground sinks. The flexibility of the disclosure enables large ground sink networks to be established, reducing latency of packet routing.

  • Patent number: 12137153
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes enables new sensors to be added and maintained in an Internet of Things system without upgrading firmware for the end device. A sensor abstraction layer (SAL) manages the end sensors, and a sensor definition layer (SDL) in the cloud interfaces with the SAL. Sensor definition data of a sensor connected to the end device is identified in a sensor definition data store of the SDL including sensor configuration data. The sensor configuration data is sent to the SAL, wherein the SAL is configured to collect sensor data from the sensor via a sensor interface. Sensor data is received from the SAL via an established network connection and converted into converted sensor data based on a data conversion model of the sensor definition data. The converted sensor data is then provided to an application, connected to a sensor management device, for consumption.

  • Publication number: 20170278426
    Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein relates to a method and design of a system that helps visually-impaired persons to identify Braille characters or geometric shapes such as rectangle, triangle, circle, etc. A Braille character is any combination of six dots that represents an alphanumeric character. The dot of Braille character is represented using a small colored region over a surface, which can be a paper. The color of dot is distinct from the color of surface. The system contains a coupling comprising a pair of light source and light sensor. The system enables recognizing printed Braille characters through identifying distinct colored dots of Braille characters, by sensing real-time deviation in illuminance of light reflected off the surface containing the printed Braille characters. The output of the system encompasses perceivable signal.
