Abstract

Apparatus, device, methods and system relating to a vehicular telemetry environment for the for identifying in real time unpredictable network communication faults based upon pre-processed raw telematics big data logs that may include GPS data and an indication of vehicle status data, and supplemental data that may further include location data and network data.

Claims

1. A big telematics data communication fault determination device comprising:

at least one mobile device,

said mobile device capable of communicating at least one of a signal or data or a message with a remote device,

said mobile device including an expected communication mode state for timely communication of said at least one of a signal or data or message with said remote device,

said remote device including a communication fault determination state,

wherein said communication fault determination state monitors expected communication for each of said at least one mobile device and said communication fault determination state monitors actual communication for each of said at least one mobile device to determine a fault when the said actual communication is different from said expected communication.

2. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 1 wherein said expected communication mode state includes an active mode state and an inactive mode state.

3. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 2 wherein said inactive mode state includes a sleep state.

4. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 2 wherein said inactive mode state includes a deep sleep state.

5. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 3 wherein said inactive mode state further includes a deep sleep state.

6. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 2 wherein said active mode state includes a first timely communication period for communicating with said remote device.

7. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 3 wherein said sleep state includes a second timely communication period for communicating with said remote device.

8. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 4 wherein said deep sleep state includes a third timely communication period for communication with said remote device.

9. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 5 wherein said deep sleep state includes a third timely communication period for communication with said remote device.

10. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 6 wherein said first timely communication period establishes a first expected communication.

11. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 7 wherein said second timely communication period establishes a second expected communication.

12. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 8 wherein said third timely communication period establishes a third expected communication.

13. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 1 wherein said expected communication is 1800 seconds.

14. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 1 wherein said expected communication is 86,400 seconds.

15. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 1 wherein said mobile device further includes a positional device,

said positional device for including a position indication of said mobile device with said communicating at least one of a signal or data or message,

wherein said remote device determines a location of a communication fault by a last known position indication of said mobile device.

16. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 2 wherein said mobile device further includes a positional device,

said positional device for including a position indication of said mobile device with said communicating at least one of a signal or data or message,

wherein said remote device determines a location of a communication fault by a last known position indication of said mobile device.

17. A big telematics data communication fault determination device as in claim 16 wherein said mobile device further includes a positional device,

said positional device for including a position indication of said mobile device with said communicating at least one of a signal or data or message,

wherein said remote device determines a location of a communication fault by a last known position indication of said mobile device.
