Abstract:
The disclosure relates to mechanisms that may be used to route notifications in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment according to user activity and/or proximity detection. More particularly, in various embodiments, an entity that manages the IoT environment may receive one or more messages, actions, or responses that indicate detected activity or detected proximity associated with one or more users from one or more IoT devices in the IoT environment. The management entity may then establish an activity and proximity trail from the one or more messages, actions, or responses that indicate the detected activity or the detected proximity, whereby in response to an IoT device reporting one or more notifications, an IoT device in proximity to at least one of the one or more users may be identified and the one or more notifications may be routed to the identified IoT device.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, and systems for improving the accessibility of a target computing device configured to use IP communications software. In various embodiments, a server associated with a VOIP application may perform operations to determine the likelihood that the target computing device will be called via the application. The server may calculate the likelihood based on evaluations of past usage information, such as historical call logs, as well as activity information, such as location information and user interface inputs reported by caller computing devices. The server may further calculate a confidence as to whether the target computing device is accessible via the application. For example, the server may evaluate activity information to determine whether IP address and registration information is valid. When there is no confidence in accessibility, the server may transmit messages to the target computing device, such as push notifications using out-of-band transmissions with commands for refreshing a registration.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for tracking firearms in a wireless communication system may include a firearm configured to send sensor data to a non-recording telephone device via a telephone call to enable a CALEA server to intercept the data via a wiretap. The firearm may include various sensors that collect data about the firearm's location, use, remaining ammo, and any other information regarding its surroundings, which may be sent via the telephone call. A CALEA server may store the firearm data obtained via the wiretap.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, non-transitory processor-readable instructions, and systems for a VOIP application server associated with a VOIP application to improve performance of a target computing device for IP communications via the VOIP application. An embodiment method may include determining whether the target computing device is likely to be called using the VOIP application during a contact period, and directing the target computing device to adjust a performance setting for receiving an IP communication in response to determining a likelihood the device will be called during the contact period. When a call is likely, the performance setting may be raised via transmitting dummy traffic to target computing device, activating a quality-of-service on an Rx interface corresponding to the VOIP application and the target computing device, and/or transmitting a message directing the target computing device to utilize an aggressive slot cycle index setting or an aggressive discontinuous reception setting.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to collaborative intelligence and decision-making in an Internet of Things (IoT) device group. In particular, various IoT devices in the group may be interdependent, whereby a decision that one IoT device plans may impact other IoT devices in the group. Accordingly, in response to an IoT device planning a certain decision (e.g., to transition state or initiate another action), the IoT devices in the group may collaborate using distributed intelligence prior to taking action on the planned decision. For example, a recommendation request may be sent to other IoT devices in the group, which may then analyze relationships within the group to assess potential impacts associated with the planned decision and respond to approve or disapprove the planned decision. Based on the responses received from the other IoT devices, the IoT device may then determine whether to take action on the planned decision.
Abstract:
The disclosure is related to determining an association among Internet of Things (IoT) devices. A first IoT device receives an identifier of a second IoT device, obtains a schema of the second IoT device based on the identifier of the second IoT device, and determines whether or not there is an association between the first IoT device and the second IoT device based on a schema of the first IoT device and the schema of the second IoT device, where the schema of the first IoT device comprises schema elements and corresponding values of the first IoT device and the schema of the second IoT device comprises schema elements and corresponding values of the second IoT device.
Abstract:
A framework is provided that enables a group communication session participant to specify the manner in which his or her computing device handles/renders media received from other group communication session participants based on the identity of the sender of the media. The various embodiments enable the group communication participant to manage the presentation of media on the various interfaces of his or her computing device based on both the type of the received media and the sender ID (i.e., talker ID) associated with the received media. In an embodiment, the user may be enabled to dynamically switch the media handling settings during a group communication session.
Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to conducting group communications. An embodiment receives information defining a group communication from a first network, detects an availability of at least one local uni-directional radio broadcast network outside the first network, transmits an acknowledgment indicating an intention to connect to the at least one local uni-directional radio broadcast network, and monitors the group communication on the at least one local uni-directional radio broadcast network.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for enhanced availability of network-assisted services. The method may include receiving, from at least one peripheral device, one or more provisioning requests to provide service to the at least one peripheral device. The method may also include determining whether to handle one or more provisioning requests based on capabilities of the mobile gateway. Furthermore, the method may include, in response to the determination to handle the one or more provisioning requests, requesting, from a server, at least one application based on the one or more provisioning requests, wherein the at least one application enables the mobile gateway to service the at least one peripheral device.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for optimizing data transfers. The method may include receiving a request to transfer data between a wireless device and a data transfer target, wherein the requested data transfer is associated with a time sensitivity window (TSW), determining whether an opportunity for a peer-to-peer (P2P) data transfer will arise during the TSW, targeting a transfer time from within the TSW for performing the requested data transfer based on the opportunity determination, and transmitting transfer notification data to the wireless device, wherein the transfer notification data includes the targeted transfer time.
