Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the communication of vehicle data, diagnostics and related information with a network remote from the vehicle, and more particularly to communications and storage of vehicle data in the cloud. In one or more preferred embodiments, vehicle information is securely gathered from a vehicle, processed in accordance with instructions and a profile set remotely, and stored at a remote data store, where remote access to such information can be accommodated through applications, smartphones and other remote devices.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for buying and selling cellular service in a market allowing real-time pricing is disclosed. The computer-implemented method and system comprise storing at least one offer to sell a specified quantity of cellular service (which may be voice minutes, messages, data or other available service parameters) initiated by a seller, and processing one or more requests to purchase cellular service initiated by one or more buyers. The processing of the requests to purchase cellular service further comprises implementing a method for matching one or more requests to purchase cellular service with any stored offers; wherein when a match occurs the buyer is able to purchase the desired quantity of cellular service. The computer-implemented method and system includes deducting the purchased quantity of cellular service from a service profile of the seller and adding the purchased quantity of cellular service to a service profile of the buyer.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to providing a system and method for monitoring devices relative to a learned geographic area using an enablement platform for building web sites and web applications using data storage, management and publication capabilities of hosted web services. The system and method for monitoring M2M devices relative to a learned geographic area (geofence) are built on existing AerCloud concepts by configuring a geofence by using learned location attributes and evaluating geofence parameters and issuing alerts if the devices are performing outside the geofence parameters.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to providing a system and method for monitoring devices relative to a user defined geographic area using an enablement platform for building web sites and web applications using data storage, management and publication capabilities of hosted web services. The system and method for monitoring M2M devices relative to a user defined geographic area (geofence) are built on existing AerCloud concepts by allowing user to define location attributes and by using the user defined location attributes to configure and evaluate geofence parameters and issue alerts if the devices are performing outside the geofence parameters.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a computer-implemented method and system for transactions involving device data due to operations of one or more devices. The method comprises transforming, by applying rules, the device data from the one or more devices into formatted device data that is useable for the transactions; sending the formatted device data to a storage location; generating a descriptive listing of the formatted device data; providing public access to the descriptive listing; and facilitating transactions involving the formatted device data in response to receiving information from the descriptive listing.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to network communications, and more particularly to detecting devices having communications issues on a network. The present invention provides for determining a communications performance status in relation to a device on a communications network experiencing a communications issue by identifying the device, locating reference devices in relation to the identified device, and determining where a performance deficiency may exist in relation to the identified device and the communications network.

Abstract: A system and method in accordance with the present invention provides an enablement platform for building web-based applications for capture, analysis and use of device data using computing resources and data storage and management capabilities of hosted web services. The enablement platform works in two steps: first, for creating new instances of compute resources at a hosted service by collecting the required information and feeding it to the necessary hosted services pages; and second, for developing production-ready web-based applications for capture, analysis and use of data from M2M devices. In an embodiment, the application is used with a web-based hosted data storage, management and publication service. First step is a single page application running at a website that collects all of the required information and feeds it to the necessary hosted services pages in the background.
