The Internet can be configured to provide communications to a large number of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. Devices can be designed to address the need for network layers, from central servers, through gateways, down to edge devices, to grow unhindered, to discover and make accessible connected resources, and to support the ability to hide and compartmentalize connected resources. Network protocols can be part of the fabric supporting human accessible services that operate regardless of location, time, or space. Innovations can include service delivery and associated infrastructure, such as hardware and software. Services may be provided in accordance with specified Quality of Service (QoS) terms. The use of IoT devices and networks can be included in a heterogeneous network of connectivity including wired and wireless technologies.

Internet of things

A trusted communications environment includes a primary participant with a group creator and a distributed ledger, and a secondary participant with communication credentials. An Internet of Things (IoT) network includes a trusted execution environment with a chain history for a blockchain, a root-of-trust for chaining, and a root-of-trust for archives. An IoT network includes an IoT device with a communication system, an onboarding tool, a device discoverer, a trust builder, a shared domain creator, and a shared resource directory. An IoT network includes an IoT device with a communication system, a policy decision engine, a policy repository, a policy enforcement engine, and a peer monitor. An IoT network includes an IoT device with a host environment and a trusted reliability engine to apply a failover action if the host environment fails. An IoT network includes an IoT server including secure booter/measurer, trust anchor, authenticator, key manager, and key generator.

Blockchains for securing IoT devices

An Internet of Things (IoT) network includes an orchestrator to issue service management requests, a service coordinator to identify components to participate in the service, and a component to perform a network service element. An IoT network includes an IoT device with service enumerator, contract enumerator, and join contract function. An IoT network apparatus includes permissions guide drafter for discovered peers, and permissions guide action executor. An IoT network apparatus includes floating service permissions guide drafter for discovered hosts, host hardware selector, floating service permissions guide executor, and service wallet value transferor. An IoT network apparatus includes permissions guide drafter for first and second discovered peers, parameter weight calculator, permissions guide term generator, and permissions guide action executor. An IoT network includes an IoT device with resource hardware component identifier, processor to process a received indication of an external module hardware requirement, an external module comparer, and deactivation signal transmitter.

Service provision to IoT devices

A method and apparatus for monitoring an internet-of-things (IoT) battery device (IBD). An example IBD includes a radio transceiver to communicate with an IoT charging device (ICD), a battery, and a battery monitor to determine a state of charge for the battery. An alerter is included to send an alert message to the ICD, via the radio transceiver, to indicate that the SoCh is less than an alert threshold.

Internet of things battery device

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to perform remote monitoring are disclosed. Some example methods include adjusting an image capture rate at which an image sensor captures images based on a difference image containing differences between a first image of a first set of objects and a second image of a second set of objects. Example methods also include reducing a file size of the difference image using an edge detection technique and prioritizing one or more of a set of frames based on an amount of information contained in the frames. The frames are subdivisions of the image. In further example methods, the first image is taken at a first time and the second image is taken at a second, later time, and the method includes subtracting the first image from the second image to generate the difference image.

Methods and apparatus to perform remote monitoring

Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for decentralized data storage and processing for IoT devices are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory; and a processor to cause storage of a contract in an off-chain datastore; generate a hash value of the contract; cause storage of the hash value on a blockchain to be accessible to multiple nodes in an IoT network; and cause storage of a transaction on the blockchain, the transaction corresponding to an objective of the contract based on data sensed by an IoT device in the IoT network.

Decentralized data storage and processing for IoT devices

Data is received describing a local model of a first device generated by the first device based on sensor readings at the first device and a global model is updated that is hosted remote from the first device based on the local model and modeling devices in a plurality of different asset taxonomies. A particular operating state affecting one or more of a set of devices deployed in a particular machine-to-machine network is detected and the particular machine-to-machine network is automatically reconfigured based on the global model.

Distributed framework for resilient machine-to-machine system management

In various embodiments, an IoT device may provide selective reporting of collected data measurements. The IoT device may report the data via a network connection to an aggregator device. The IoT device may detect when the network connection has been interrupted, during which messages containing measurements may be cached. Later, when the network connection has been restored, the IoT device may 'replay' the cached messages. The IoT device may selectively report cached messages based on an entropy analysis which may detect which measurements exhibit a higher entropy. The entropy analysis may determine which measurements show a higher rate of change or which have a value outside of a set of thresholds. The IoT device may select measurements based on a history of measurements obtained by the IoT device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Selective measurement reporting from internet of things devices

Internet of Things battery device

Techniques are described for a compiler scheduling algorithm/routine that utilizes backtracking to generate an execution schedule for a neural network computation graph using a neural network compiler intermediate representation of hardware synchronization counters. The hardware synchronization counters may be referred to as physical barriers, hardware (HW) barriers, or barriers and their intermediate representations may be referred to as barrier tasks or barriers. Backtracking is utilized to prevent an available number of hardware barriers from being exceeded during performance of an execution schedule. An execution schedule may be a computation workload schedule for neural network inference applications. An execution schedule may also be a first in first out (FIFO) schedule.

Techniques to generate execution schedules from neural network computation graphs

A method and apparatus for monitoring operational parameters in an IoT device is provided. An exemplary method includes performing a statistical analysis of a system metric. A determination is made as to whether an alert limit has been breached. If so, a message is constructed and dispatched to a server.
