Wi-fi network outage detection and resolution system
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11930380B2) discloses a computer-readable storage medium containing code for programming a computer to perform various steps related to monitoring Wi-Fi network outages. The technology involves obtaining data associated with multiple Wi-Fi networks over the Internet, aggregating and filtering this data, and analyzing it to identify network conditions indicative of outages. The system then determines Internet Service Provider (ISP) outages based on the analysis, considering factors like the percentage of offline locations in a geographic area. Once a threshold outage number or percentage is surpassed, the system declares an ISP outage. The threshold values are determined through statistical analysis or training data related to known ISP outage occurrences.
Furthermore, the patent details additional functionalities such as identifying offline customer devices or locations, detecting outages affecting multiple customers from the same ISP in a specific area, and providing visual representations of outage data on a map. The system can also initiate resolutions, send notifications to customers and service providers via various channels like mobile applications, text messages, and emails. Additionally, the technology aims to differentiate between ISP-specific outages and global outages by observing outage patterns across multiple ISPs in a geographic area. The patent also includes methods for sharing outage rate comparisons between ISPs with the public or relevant stakeholders, enhancing transparency and accountability in the management of network outages.
