    摘要: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus that registers and configures mesh node devices to operate as part of a wireless mesh network as part of a process that may be referred to as an onboarding process that streamlines. Such an onboarding process may store registration information and configuration information in a database at a computer in the cloud or that is accessible via the Internet. This stored information may be used to easily create or expand a wireless mesh network. This registration information may be cross-referenced with a profile associated with a network configuration, with a customer license, and with an identifier that identifies a wireless mesh network. Profiles consistent with the present disclosure may identify configuration preferences of a wireless mesh network and may identify software components that may be installed at particular mesh nodes when mesh node devices are added to a wireless mesh network.

    摘要: A method including receiving, by an industrial automation device, operational information associated with an industrial asset, wherein the operational information is received from a sensor device via a first wireless connection. The method further includes transmitting, by the industrial automation device, the operational information and internal technical information associated with the industrial automation device to a cloud server via a second wireless connection. The method further includes adjusting, by the industrial automation device, one or more control parameter settings of the industrial automation device based at least partly on the operational information and the internal technical information.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and software products provide increased trust in authentication of a user to an authentication server when a trusted witness client device witnesses the authentication of the user on the user's root client device. Both the root and the witness client devices cooperate to present the user with an interactive task during the authentications and each client device independently captures movement of the user performing the interactive task, during which, the user is authenticated to the root client device. An increased level of trust in the authentication of the user is achieved by the authentication server when the captured movements match expected movements of the user performing the interactive task and the authentication server has proof that the witness client devices witnessed a successful authentication.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus that registers a plurality of mesh node devices to operate as part of a wireless mesh network after a user device scans encoded information that is unique to each mesh node of a plurality of different mesh nodes. After codes associated with different respective mesh nodes are scanned by a user device, that user device may communicate with these different mesh nodes via a low power communication interface and the user device may send registration information to a registration computer via a secure communication channel. Apparatus may also receive a validation code from the registration computer via a communication channel that is different from the secure communication channel and these apparatus may then send the validation code to the registration computer via the secure communication channel when the user device is validated by the registration computer.

    摘要: A communication system and method for supporting a plurality of vehicle-to-everything radio access technologies (V2X RATs) is provided. The communication system configured to support multiple V2X RATs transmits, using a first V2X RAT, an indication of its availability to support an interworking function between the plurality of V2X RATs. The communication system receives an instruction to provide the interworking function between different V2X RATs. The interworking function may be incorporated in a vehicle that is joined to a platoon configured to use a first V2X RAT, and provide the interworking function between the first and a second V2X RAT. The interworking function may be used to add further vehicles to the platoon that communicate using only the second V2X RAT.

    摘要: A method for automatic pairing of two devices for wireless communication includes detecting, by a first device, that a second device is in a communicable range of the first device, where the first device has not been paired with the second device for wireless communication. The method may include determining, by the first device, by communicating with a third device, that the second device is paired with the third device. The first device and the third device are also paired previously. The method may include transmitting, by the third device, a key material to the second device. The method may include confirming, by the first device and by the second device, that the key material matches. The method may include establishing, by the first device, a communication link with the second device for wireless communication in response to the key material being a match.
