Method and system for delivering a shoulder-tap for battery-constrained cellular iot devices

A system for delivering a shoulder-tap to one or more battery-constrained devices comprising an application server, front end application programming interface (API), a shoulder-tap server, a shoulder-tap database, a session database and one or more battery-constrained devices, wherein

• the shoulder-tap server
• receives a shoulder-tap request for one or more battery-constrained devices from the application server;
• stores the shoulder-tap request in the shoulder-tap database;
• retrieves last known network session information from the session database for each of the one or more battery-constrained devices;
• calculates shoulder-tap beacon frequency for each of the one or more battery-constrained devices;
• creates a shoulder-tap beacon for each of the one or more battery-constrained devices;
• and
• sends the shoulder-tap beacon to the destination internet protocol (IP) address of each of the one or more battery-constrained devices in the calculated shoulder-tap beacon frequency.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for delivering a shoulder-tap to one or more battery-constrained devices having executable instructions stored therein that, when executed, cause one or more processors corresponding to a system having a storage database, a data processing system including a processor, a database and a user interface to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a shoulder-tap request for one or more battery-constrained devices;
• storing the shoulder-tap request in a database;
• retrieving last known network session information for each of the one or more battery-constrained devices;
• calculating shoulder-tap beacon frequency for each of the one or more battery-constrained devices;
• creating a shoulder-tap beacon for each of the one or more battery-constrained devices;
• and
• sending the shoulder-tap beacon to the destination internet protocol (IP) address for each of the one or more battery-constrained devices in the calculated shoulder-tap beacon frequency.
