Abstract:

Multiple contact lists of a user, which individual lists are maintained in varying formats associated with varying internet-based services or computer-based applications, are federated through the use of an intermediate schema used by a federating messenger application. The federating messenger application may be instantiated as a client resident at a computer system and/or as a server-based application accessible via a Web browser or dedicated client application. In one instance, the federated messenger application includes both client-based and server-based components, and on the client-side may be resident as a browser extension or similar application.

Abstract:

An apparatus and method of a wireless access node within a network characterizing uncoordinated interference is disclosed. One method includes the wireless node collecting air-time usage history as perceived by the wireless access node. The wireless access node receives air-time usage history as perceived by at least one neighboring wireless node. The wireless access node comparatively analyzes the collected air-time usage and the received air-time usage.

US Classification:

370237

Abstract:

A method of determining a location of a network condition within a wireless mesh network is disclosed. The method includes a test device testing a first plurality of wireless hops of the wireless mesh network. The test device also tests a second number of wireless hops of the wireless mesh network. The test device locates the network condition within the wireless mesh network by comparing the test of the first plurality of wireless hops with the test of the second number of wireless hops.

US Classification:

370252

Abstract:

Methods of correlating wireless network performance of a wireless network are disclosed. One method includes collecting wireless network performance parameters at a location of the network, observing at least one of activities and conditions of the wireless network over the period of time, and correlating the wireless network performance parameters with at least one of the activities and conditions of the wireless network. The wireless network performance parameters can be collected by one or more test devices operating at nodes or clients within the wireless network.

International Classification:

H04B 17/00

US Classification:

455 6711

Abstract:

An apparatus and method of detecting underperforming antennas of a wireless node of a wireless network are disclosed. The method includes measuring a wireless link quality between a first antenna of the wireless node and a receiver, and measuring a wireless link quality between a second antenna of the wireless node and the receiver. A difference between the wireless link quality of the first antenna and the link quality of the second antenna is determined. The wireless node is identified as having an underperforming antenna, if the difference between the wireless link qualities between the first antenna and the second antenna is greater than a faulty antenna detection threshold.

G06F 21/44

Abstract:

A system and method including: receiving an authorization request originating from an authorization module of an application executing on a client device, where the authorization request includes an identifier identifying the client device; causing transmission, based on the identifier, of a verification message to the client device, where the verification message includes a verification code; receiving a confirmation of the verification code from the authorization module of the application executing on the client device; authenticating the application based on the receiving the confirmation of the verification code; determining that the client device identified by the identifier corresponds to a user account including secure user data associated with a user; and transmitting a unique token verifying that the application is authorized to sign into the user account, where: the unique token uniquely identifies the user account to the application, and the secure user data is not shared with the application.
