SENSOR MEASUREMENT TIMESTAMP DIFFERENCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17959504 titled 'SENSOR MEASUREMENT TIMESTAMP DIFFERENCES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a device that transmits sensor measurements to an application, resends any missing measurements, and includes timestamp differences for accuracy.
- The device captures sensor measurements with timestamps and sends them to an application.
- If the application indicates that some measurements were not received, the device calculates timestamp differences and resends the missing data.
- This process ensures that all sensor measurements are accurately received by the application.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in various industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and environmental monitoring where accurate sensor data transmission is crucial.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of missing sensor data during transmission, ensuring that all measurements are received and processed by the application.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved data accuracy, real-time monitoring, and enhanced decision-making based on complete sensor data.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include IoT devices, smart home systems, industrial automation, and remote monitoring solutions.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing systems that resend data packets in case of transmission errors, but the specific approach of calculating timestamp differences for accurate data resend may be unique to this patent application.
=== What is the impact of this technology on data accuracy in sensor measurements? This technology significantly improves data accuracy by ensuring that all sensor measurements are received and processed by the application, reducing the risk of missing or incomplete data.
=== How does this technology contribute to real-time monitoring and decision-making processes? By accurately transmitting sensor measurements in real-time and resending missing data promptly, this technology enables real-time monitoring and enhances decision-making processes based on complete and up-to-date sensor data.
Original Abstract Submitted
In one embodiment, a device may transmit, via a network to an application, a series of sensor measurements captured by the device, each sensor measurement having an associated timestamp based on a clock of the device. The device may receive, from the application, an indication that at least a portion of the series of sensor measurement were not received by the application. The device may determine, for those sensor measurements not received by the application, timestamp differences between their timestamps and a current time of the clock of the apparatus, after receiving the indication. The device may resend the portion of the series of sensor measurements to the application and their timestamp differences.
