Multi-capability facilities monitoring and control intranet for facilities management system

US Patent #6,363,422

One or more client devices are coupled to a system server through a network link, with the network adapted to support TCP/IP packet-based data transmission protocols. The system server provides initial set-up parameters and continuing operating instructions to each client device over the network link. Subsequently, client devices carry out normal monitoring functions locally, over their local communication link. Intervention by the system server is no longer required unless and until a client device determines that one of its supported pieces of infrastructure equipment is functioning outside of its normal operating parameters. The System server gives the appropriate control information to the client which communicates the control code to the out-of-parameter device in its native language protocol.

Universal Configurable Device Gateway

US Patent #8,769,106

A method and an apparatus for providing a configurable, object-oriented, protocol-neutral interface between a physical device and a server. The method includes coupling an application gateway with the physical device, where the application gateway includes a protocol gateway module configured for physical communication with the physical device, and an object adapter module configured for virtual communication between the physical device and a client application running on a server. The method further includes configuring a service starter to launch and bind the object adapter module with the protocol gateway module, configuring the protocol gateway module to define the physical interface between the physical device and the protocol gateway, and establishing communication between the protocol gateway module and the physical device, such that the physical device is exposed as a network device on the server.

Network management of remote devices in telecommunications environment

US Patent #12,192,754 B1

The invention describes a system for managing remote devices in a telecommunications environment. The system includes a plurality of monitored locations, each with an Edge Remote Telemetry Unit (ERTU) that receives sensor data from local monitored devices. The ERTU standardizes, processes, and encrypts this data before sending it to a centralized computer. This allows the centralized computer to manage devices across multiple locations without needing to know the local addresses or communication protocols used at each site. The system also accommodates legacy telemetry devices and provides a collective view of all monitored locations to an operator.
