  • Patent number: 11496904
    Abstract: An information handling system includes an application processor that executes instructions to determine one or more communication link options and a wireless adapter that communicates with a conditional shared spectrum wireless link option. The application processor determines whether a higher priority user is occupying the conditional shared spectrum wireless link option and determines an optimal wireless link from among the communication link options, including any available conditional shared spectrum wireless link options, and selects a wireless link from among the wireless link options based on a spatial-temporal radio frequency profile that indicates signal quality for wireless links available at the location and a spatial-temporal user profile, including wireless service usage trend data for the location.

  • Patent number: 11372410
    Abstract: A drone autonomously operates to track an object, track an object while being stealthy and/or observe the details of an object while maintaining communication at a rate equal to or greater than a threshold. A drone may operate to maintain the image of an object at or above a predetermined resolution in an image captured by a camera mounted on the drone and to maintain a wireless communication rate equal to or greater than a threshold rate. A drone may operate so that the sound intensity level caused by the operation of the drone is less than or equal to a sound intensity level threshold as perceived by an object (e.g., person, target, suspect) being tracked.

  • Patent number: 11112798
    Abstract: A drone autonomously operates to track an object and/or observe the details of an object while maintaining communication at a rate equal to or greater than a threshold. A drone may operate to maintain the image of an object at or above a predetermined resolution in an image captured by a camera mounted on the drone and to maintain a wireless communication rate equal to or greater than a threshold rate. The object resolution may be a function of the position of the drone relative to the object. The position of the drone may include the altitude of the drone.
