Abstract: Various embodiments of apparatuses, systems (e.g., a gateway device) and/or methods are described for correcting failover or latency issues of a network connection. In this disclosure, a gateway device determines whether a first connection between the gateway device and a first wide area network has a network outage. Network latency is determined for the first connection between the gateway device and the first wide area network, and such network latency is compared with a predefined threshold. In response to the network latency being above the predefined threshold or in response to determining that there is the network outage, a second wide area network is used via a computing device to create a second connection between the end devices and the second wide area network, and data is sent between the end devices using the second connection.

Abstract: A method includes monitoring, by a gateway device comprising a processor, connected devices that are connected to the gateway device, wherein each connected device comprises a transceiver configured to communicate with the gateway device; determining, by the gateway device, whether a first connected device of the connected devices increases an audio level in a target location greater than a predefined threshold; and in response to the gateway device determining that the first connected device audio level at the target location is greater than the predefined threshold, the gateway device reduces audio of the first connected device.

Abstract: Various embodiments of apparatus, systems (e.g., a gateway device) and/or methods are described for providing an anti-distraction mode to control a plurality of connected devices in an establishment. In the gateway device, a list of connected devices that are connected to the gateway device is determined by the gateway device in response to anti-distraction mode being activated in the gateway device. Each connected device comprises a transceiver configured to communicate with the gateway device. A policy is stored at the gateway device for all of the connected devices when a triggering condition occurs, and activation of anti-distraction mode is received in the gateway device. In response to the anti-distraction mode being activated in the gateway device and in response to the gateway device detecting that the triggering condition occurs, the gateway device reduces features or outputs of at least one of the connected devices.

Abstract: A method of obtaining status information is disclosed. The method includes transmitting, by a router device, first status information to a network device; determining, by the router device, that the router device is not connected to the network device; causing, by the router device, a light emitting device to output light in an illumination pattern in response to the determining that the router device is not connected to the network device; generating, by a user device, image data corresponding to a plurality of images of the light emitting device while the light emitting device outputs light in the illumination pattern; obtaining, by the user device, second status information based on the image data corresponding to the plurality of images of the light emitting device while the light emitting device outputs light in the illumination pattern; and transmitting, by the user device, the second status information to the network device.

Abstract: Systems, devices and processes are described herein to improve the reliable delivery of content in a satellite system by facilitating the prediction of likely future signal interference. Specifically, the various embodiments provide a technique whereby a likelihood of future plant growth interfering with received signal strength at a satellite dish is determined. In one embodiment, the technique analyses one or more images of a plant in the vicinity of the satellite dish and from that image generates prediction of future growth of the plant over a future time period. From this prediction of future plant growth, a likelihood of future signal interference being caused by the plant can be determined.
