An optimizing agent of a network device that does not support low latency DOCSIS can identify traffic or packets associated with a client resource for an optimization service flow. For example, the optimizing agent can receive a priority notification associated with a client resource from a low latency controller that is indicative of a low latency requirement associated with the client resource. The optimizing agent identifies the traffic for the optimized service flow based on the priority notification. The identifying can require modifying one or more parameters of an existing service flow, creating a new service flow, or selecting an existing service flow with low latency. The identified traffic can be routed to the optimized service flow to achieve low latency or high QoS.

The present invention relates to a method of remotely configuring access to at least one home automation device (D) that is part of a home-automation installation (Su), the home automation installation comprising at least one home automation device (D) and at least one central control unit (U), and the method being performed by a first remote access service (Svc1) carried out by a management unit (Sv) and comprising the following steps: receiving (ECfSvc12) an information message (MIn) relating to the presence of the home automation device (D) from a central control unit (U) to which the device (D) is linked; determining (ECfSvc13) a second service (Svc2) associated with the type of home automation device (D) for which remote access must be configured with corresponding access rules; configuring (ECfSvc110) an access rights reference system in order to accept at least one control command (MCa) from the second service (Svc2) or transmitting monitoring data (MSa) to the second service (Svc2) on behalf of the home automation device (D). The invention also relates to a control and monitoring method.

As described herein, a gateway device may include one or more expansion ports to add functionality. The added functionality can be of any desired type, such as adding telephone call routing capabilities, or high-definition radio capabilities. The added functionality can include new wireless communication abilities, such as adding Bluetooth capability, and the combination may allow greater networked communication.

An interface gateway interfaces between a first device and a second device serving a hospitality establishment. The first device is one of a property management system (PMS) and a guest service device, and the second device is the other of the property management system (PMS) and the guest service device. One or more communication ports perform data communications with the first device and the second device. One or more processors receive a message from the first device, determine that the message is in a first format, convert the message from the first format to an internal data structure, parse the message in the internal data structure to determine that the message is applicable to the second device, determine that the second device supports a second format, convert the message from the internal data structure to the second format, and send the message in the second format to the second device.

The disclosure is related to providing an operation environment of a registered network having first devices to a user in an unregistered network having second devices. In order to provide, the second devices in the unregistered network may be detected when user equipment associated with the user enters a service area of the unregistered network. As compatible devices, devices compatible with the first devices in the registered network may be selected from the detected second devices. Then, system images of the first devices compatible with the selected compatible devices may be obtained. The obtained system images of the first devices may be installed at the selected compatible devices, respectively.

A camera assembly includes an enclosed housing having a rear surface, a front surface, and a periphery. The camera assembly also includes a lens module located within the housing and configured to receive light via the front surface, and a circuit board comprising communication circuitry located within the housing and configured to wireless communicate over a plurality of different communication protocols. The camera assembly further includes a first antenna arranged at a location on the circuit board, the first antenna configured for communication over a first one of the communication protocols, and a second antenna arranged at a location on the inner surface of the periphery, the second antenna configured for communication over a second one of the communication protocols.

Disclosed herein are example embodiments for multi-modality communication with auto-activation. By way of example but not limitation, user interaction with a device may be determined to correspond to a second communication modality based, at least partly, on one or more parameters relating to utilization of the device. The device may activate at least one feature that causes a communication corresponding to a first communication modality to comprise a multi-modality communication corresponding to the first communication modality and to the second communication modality.

Systems and methods are disclosed for interleaving communications with a home area network (HAN) and a data network. A gateway device interleaves communications within timeslots of a time slotted channel hopping protocol. A gateway device can be configured to determine, during a first portion of a timeslot, whether the gateway device received a portion of a message from a data network. If the gateway device receives no messages from the data network during the first portion of the timeslot, the gateway device switches to listen for communication from the HAN during a second portion of the timeslot. If the gateway device receives a portion of the message from the HAN, the gateway device continues to receive receives the remainder of the message until one or more trigger conditions that cause the gateway device to listen for communication from the data network.

Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for implementing Internet of Things- (IoT-) enabled connectivity devices for processing operation information of devices lacking network connectivity are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes interfacing, via at least one Internet of Things-enabled connectivity device, with one or more client devices, wherein the client devices lack network connectivity; processing, via the at least one Internet of Things-enabled connectivity device, data pertaining to operation of at least a portion of the client devices, wherein processing the data comprises automatically converting the data from a first format to a second format using at least one translation table; and automatically transmitting, wirelessly via the at least one Internet of Things-enabled connectivity device, the processed data converted into the second format to an Internet of Things-enabled server, for use in initiating at least one of one or more automated actions and one or more machine learning-based actions.
