20140095728 | Methods and Systems for Providing Multiple Network Services By Way of a Single Machine-to-Machine Gateway Device - An exemplary method includes a machine-to-machine (“M2M”) solutions provider subsystem 1) maintaining data representative of a plurality of distinct data processing schemes associated with a plurality of network services, 2) receiving a plurality of data streams from a single M2M gateway device, 3) identifying a data stream included in the plurality of data streams as corresponding to a network service included in the plurality of network services, and 4) processing, in response to the identifying, the data stream in accordance with a data processing scheme associated with the network service and included in the plurality of distinct data processing schemes. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed. | 04-03-2014 |
20140351099 | MOBILE DEVICE M2M GATEWAY - A device may determine an occurrence of a user interaction. The device may obtain information associated with the user interaction. The device may detect a mobile device transmitting a particular identifier. The mobile device may be associated with the user interaction. The device may establish a connection with the mobile device based on the particular identifier. The device may transmit the information associated with the user interaction to the mobile device to cause the mobile device to transmit the information associated with the user interaction to a server device associated with the device. | 11-27-2014 |
20150038110 | RESOURCE-BASED BILLING AND MONITORING FOR M2M - A device may obtain resource utilization data associated with a machine-to-machine device. The resource utilization data may include information identifying a quantity of data transmitted by the machine-to-machine device during a particular period of time, and an amount of network resources utilized by the machine-to-machine device during the particular period of time. The device may determine a billing metric based on the quantity of data and the amount of network resources utilized by the machine-to-machine device. The device may determine, based on the billing metric, a cost associated with the amount of network resources utilized by the machine-to-machine device. The device may charge the fee associated with the utilization of the network resources by the machine-to-machine device to an account of a subscriber associated with the machine-to-machine device. | 02-05-2015 |
20150092590 | CATEGORY 1 M2M DEVICE DATA TRANSMISSION VIA A LONG TERM EVOLUTION NETWORK - A scheduler device may receive machine-to-machine (M2M) transmission information associated with a data transmission between a base station and a category 1 M2M device. The scheduler device may determine other transmission information associated with the base station. The other transmission information may include information associated with another data transmission between the base station and another device which is not a category 1 M2M device. The scheduler device may generate a resource assignment schedule associated with the category 1 M2M device and the other device. The resource assignment schedule may be based on the M2M transmission information and the other transmission information. The resource assignment schedule may identify a set of resources to be allocated to the category 1 M2M device during an increment of time. The scheduler device may provide the resource assignment schedule. | 04-02-2015 |
20150117184 | MANAGEMENT OF ACCESS NETWORK RETRY ACROSS POWER CYCLE - A device creates a list of permanent evolved packet system (EPS) mobility management (EMM) failure events associated with the device, where the list includes information associated with one or more permanent EMM failure events encountered by the device. The device stores the list of permanent EMM failure events, provides an attach request message to an access network, and receives, from the access network, a reject message as a response to the attach request message. The device performs a power cycle based on receiving the reject message, and erases, based on the power cycle, a forbidden public land mobile network (PLMN) list and a forbidden tracking area list maintained by the device. The device repopulates the forbidden PLMN list and the forbidden tracking area list with information included in the list of permanent EMM failure events. | 04-30-2015 |
20150178061 | APPLICATION ASSISTED SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR CONNECTED DEVICES WITHOUT A DISPLAY - An exemplary system and method avoids unannounced software updates for a connected device by acquiring installation consent from the user for each software update to the connected device. Consent is acquired by leveraging an extended interface application described below, to facilitate notifications from the connected device to the user and receive user inputs indicating consent in response to the notifications. | 06-25-2015 |
20150189005 | MACHINE-TO-MACHINE SERVICE BASED ON COMMON DATA FORMAT - A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium having instructions to establish a connection with the simple sensor device; receive sensor data from the simple sensor device via the connection; convert the sensor data into common data of a common data format, wherein the common data includes metadata that supports an ontology; store the common data; and transmit the common data to a network device of a network. | 07-02-2015 |
20150245267 | SWITCHOVER SERVICE FOR NETWORK SELECTION FALLBACK - A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium having instructions to receive channel information from a node of a first network, wherein the channel information indicates a channel to use to access a second network when a switchover is invoked, wherein the first network and the second network operate according to different communicative standards; store the channel information; attempt to establish a session with another device via the first network; determine whether an establishment of the session via the first network is successful; and invoke the switchover, wherein the switchover includes using the channel information to attempt to establish a same session via the second network, in response to a determination that the establishment of the session via the first network failed. | 08-27-2015 |
