Patent number: 11972684Abstract: Lighting fixture data hubs and systems and methods for use. An example of a data hub may include an annunciator configured to generate a first indication and a second indication, one or more sensors configured to detect between one or more vehicles and one or more pedestrians and potential convergence thereof within a zone in a vicinity of the data hub and to emit one or more signals corresponding to said detection, and a gateway in communication with an on-board processor and the annunciator, the on-board processor configured to wirelessly receive and analyze the one or more signals, communicate said one or more signals to the gateway so that the gateway can generate the first indication or the second indication in response to the one or more signals. Data hubs may also include a sensor unit housing and/or a light source.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: ECO Parking Technologies, LLCInventors: William Longardner, Jeffrey Pinyot, Andrew Teed

Patent number: 11233665Abstract: Lighting fixture data hubs and systems and methods for use. An example of a data hub may include an annunciator configured to generate first and second indications; a sensor configured to detect a zone including one or more parking spaces, pedestrians, or other activity areas in a vicinity of the data hub and to determine whether or not one or more vehicles, pedestrians, and/or activities occurring in the activity areas are present within the zone, the sensor further configured to emit signals corresponding to said detection; and a gateway in communication with an on-board processor and the annunciator, the on-board processor configured for EDGE computing and processing to receive and analyze the signals from the sensor, communicate said signals to the gateway, and operable to allow the gateway to direct the annunciator to generate the first indication or the second indication in response to the signals.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2020Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: ECO Parking Technologies, LLCInventors: William Longardner, Jeffrey Pinyot, Andrew Teed

Patent number: 10937316Abstract: Lighting fixture data hubs and systems and methods for use. An exemplary data hub comprises an annunciator configured to generate indications; a sensor configured to detect a zone comprising a plurality of parking spaces and to determine whether or not one or more vehicles and/or one or more pedestrians are present, the sensor further configured to emit one or more signals corresponding to said detection; a processor in communication with the annunciator and the sensor, the processor configured to receive the one or more signals from the sensor and operable to direct the annunciator to generate an indication in response to the signal; and a sensor unit housing having at least portions of the annunciator, the sensor, and the processor located therein, the sensor unit configured to attach to a device such that power supplied to the device is also used to supply power to the data hub.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Eco Parking Technologies, LLCInventors: William Longardner, Jeffrey Pinyot, Jason Toschlog, Gage Toschlog, Evan Foote, Scott Whitlock, Andrew Huffman, Daniel Hughes
