Assignee: NEC LABORATORIES AMERICA, INC.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 8:
9. A device, comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
determine, based on baseline sensing data associated with a fiber optic cable, a baseline sensing profile that indicates a measure of vibration as a function of distance along the fiber optic cable and as a function of time;
provide, to a sensor device, a request for sensing data associated with the fiber optic cable,
wherein the request includes a schedule according to which the sensor device is to transmit the sensing data;

receive, from the sensor device and based on the schedule, the sensing data,
wherein the sensing data is produced by an activity that poses a threat of damage to the fiber optic cable; and

determine, based on the sensing data, that the sensing data satisfies a vibration deviation criteria relative to the baseline sensing profile;
process, with a machine learning model and based on the sensing data satisfying the vibration deviation criteria, the sensing data to determine a threat level of the activity to the fiber optic cable; and
perform, based on the threat level, one or more actions to minimize a potential of damage to the fiber optic cable.
