Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to determining items to build based on inventory in an Internet of Things (IoT) network and using a 3D printer to build the determined items. In particular, inventory in the IoT network may be monitored to predict replacement needs associated with certain items in the IoT network inventory and determine further inventory needs (e.g., based on items that malfunction or break, upcoming calendar events, etc.). In one embodiment, in response to determining that additional inventory items may be needed in the IoT network, licenses and 3D printer blueprints to build the items may be obtained (internally and/or externally) and 3D printing may be scheduled to build the items (e.g., based on a priority scheme, timing criteria, resource availability, etc.), whereby the items may be added to the IoT network inventory when the 3D printer completes 3D print jobs to produce the items.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for implementing an emergency instruction based on an emergency message from a trusted authority source. The method includes receiving, at an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an emergency secret key from a trusted authority source The method receives, at an IoT device, an emergency message from the trusted authority source; decoding, at an IoT device, the emergency message from the trusted authority source using the emergency secret key to determine a value within the emergency message. The method calculates, at an IoT device, a result based on the determined value. The method implements, at an IoT device, an emergency instruction if the result is above a predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
In response to detecting the entry condition, a determination is made as to when multiple mobile computing devices are present within the vehicle. An occupancy zone is determined for each multiple mobile computing device that is determined as being present within the vehicle. Profile information is determined for each mobile computing device. At least one of an operational or usage facet of the vehicle can be configured at each occupancy zone in which one of the mobile computing devices is determined to be present. The operational or usage facet of the vehicle at a location of each occupancy zone can be based at least in part on the profile information determined from the mobile computing device that is deemed to be present at that occupancy zone.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a client device obtains a list of client devices registered in association with a particular client application, and then detects listed client device(s) as proximate via a local communications interface. One of the proximate client devices is identified as responsible for sending an aggregated registration request message for renewing their respective application registrations with a server. In another embodiment, the server receives a registration message for the client application from a client device and detects that at least one other registered client device for that client application is proximate to the requesting client device. The server attempts to preemptively renew the registrations for both the requesting client device and the at least one other registered client device based on the proximity detection.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for connecting a proxy device to a mobile device are disclosed. In an aspect, the proxy device continuously scans for the mobile device, wherein the mobile device broadcasts advertising messages to connect to the proxy device, connects to the mobile device in response to the mobile device coming into communication range of the proxy device, and sends information to the mobile device, the information configured to enable the mobile device to connect to a low energy device.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to leveraging peer-to-peer (P2P) discovery messages for application layer contextual communication. A P2P middleware layer of a user device receives a P2P discovery message, the P2P discovery message comprising metadata including an identifier of a first application and content to be rendered by the first application, determines whether or not there is an application installed on the user device that can render the content, and sends the content to be rendered by the first application to the installed application based on there being an application installed on the user device that can render the content.
