  • Patent number: 11842254
    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium each provide an object recognition service that identifies an object within an image or a video. An object is identified according to a general classification based on a domain-based inference model, and is subsequently further identified according to a sub-classification of the general classification based on another domain-based inference model. The domain-based inference models are hierarchical. The object recognition of the object may be used in support of end user services.

  • Patent number: 11588627
    Abstract: A device may receive, from a client device, a request with a single packet authorization (SPA) packet that includes data identifying a universal client device identifier. The device may generate a shared key associated with the universal client device identifier, and may determine that the SPA packet matches a comparison message authentication code (MAC) generated based on the shared key. The device may provide, based on the SPA packet matching the comparison MAC, a MAC associated with the SPA packet to the client device to enable the client device to validate the device.

  • Publication number: 20220066042
    Abstract: A microservice node can receive a request for information identifying a corrected physical location of a client device. The request can include raw satellite data associated with the client device. The microservice node can convert the raw satellite data to a Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM) format. The microservice node can determine, based on converting the raw satellite data to the RTCM format, an estimated physical location of the client device. The microservice node can receive, based on transmitting a request to a network real-time kinematics (RTK) device, corrections data associated with the estimated physical location of the client device. The microservice node can determine, using a cloud RTK engine, the corrected physical location of the client device based on the estimated physical location and corrections data. The microservice node can transmit, to the client device, the information identifying the corrected physical location of the client device.

  • Patent number: 11095440
    Abstract: A device may receive, from a client device, a request with a single packet authorization (SPA) packet that includes data identifying a universal client device identifier (UID), a counter, a first one-time password generated based on a first shared key, the UID, and the counter. The device may generate a second shared key associated with the UID, and may compare the SPA packet to a comparison message authentication code (MAC) generated based on the second shared key, the UID, and the counter. The device may determine whether the SPA packet matches the comparison MAC, and may validate the client device when the SPA packet matches the comparison MAC. The device may provide a MAC associated with the SPA packet to the client device to enable the client device to validate the device for a secure communication based on establishing a pre-master key with the client device.

  • Patent number: 10924928
    Abstract: Systems and methods validate that subscriber identity module (SIM) number of an end device connected to a network is the same number that was activated for that device. A network device in a network obtains a SIM number and a universal identifier (UID) for the end device during an activation procedure. The network device generates a unique SIM authentication code based on the SIM number, the UID, and a master key. The network device sends the unique SIM authentication code to the end device as part of the activation procedure. After activation, the network device receives, from the end device, an authentication message that includes a first one-time password (OTP), the UID, a time value, the SIM number, and the SIM authentication code. The network device generates a second OTP based on the UID, the time value, the SIM number, and the master key and validates a pairing of the end device and the SIM number when the two OTPs match.
