20150319730 | LOCATION AWARE WIRELESS NETWORK ACCESS CONTROLLER - A device may control a network based on the position of a client, and may be configured to determine a position of a client within the network. The device may determine whether the client is located inside a zone from a plurality of established zones based on the determined position of the client, and then identify a zone in which the client is located upon determining that the client is located inside one of the established zones. The device may apply a profile associated with the identified zone to the client, and then determine a logical network identifier for the client based on the identified zone. The network may appear to the client as an isolated network for the identified zone. | 11-05-2015 |
20150242913 | ENTERPRISE PRICE QUOTE GENERATION - A method includes receiving, from a client enterprise, at a provider computing device, a request for price quote for products provided by a provider enterprise and determining a plurality of discrete processing units based on the request for price quote. The method includes assigning each of the plurality of discrete processing units to a single one of a plurality of parallel processing devices. The method includes accessing, by each of the plurality of parallel processing devices, price quote generation data stored in a hierarchical manner in a database associated with the provider, and processing the discrete processing units the plurality of discrete processing units based on the price quote generation data to generate a corresponding plurality of processed units. The method includes merging the processed units to form concatenated processed units and adding global components to the concatenated processed units to form the price quote. | 08-27-2015 |
20150124790 | AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURING WIRELESS NETWORKS - A controller stores preference information related to an initial configuration of wireless access points (WAPs). Based on the preference information, the controller initially activates or deactivates the WAPs to form a wireless local network (WLAN). The WLAN is monitored and operation of the WAPs may be modified based on the monitoring of the WLAN. For example, the controller may monitor an activity level associated with an active group of the WAPs and may compare the activity level to a threshold. The controller may activate an additional WAP if, for example, the activity level is above an upper threshold, and the controller may deactivate one of the active WAPs if the activity level is below a lower threshold. | 05-07-2015 |
20150095478 | LABEL FOR USE IN THE INTERNET OF THINGS - A device obtains a label from a particular device. The device identifies a first flag, a second flag, a third flag, and a fourth flag from the label. The device determines, based on the first flag, first information indicating a kind of communication used by the particular device. The device determines, based on the second flag, second information indicating a direction the particular device communicates data and/or indicating storage options. The device determines, based on the third flag, third information indicating at least one of service information for the particular device, an energy requirement for the particular device, or a redundancy mechanism for the particular device. The device determines, based on the fourth flag, fourth information indicating an administrative requirement for the particular device. The device manages the particular device or an environment based on at least one of the determined information. | 04-02-2015 |
20150066696 | COORDINATION OF BUSINESS SYSTEMS - Techniques described herein may provide for end-to-end integration of business systems used in the sale and fulfillment flow for products provided by a business. In one implementation, a method may include receiving a request for a contract relating to products and services offered by a business; and transmitting a message, to one or more workers, indicating that the one or more first workers are to generate the contract. The method may further include receiving the generated contract from the one or more workers; transmitting, in response to reception of a signed version of the contract, a message initiating order fulfillment for the products and services to which the contract relates; determining, as part of the order fulfillment, a plurality of work orders corresponding to the products and services to which the contract relates, and issuing the plurality of work orders to a plurality of provisioning departments of the business. | 03-05-2015 |
20100281426 | PRODUCT DATA MANAGEMENT AND WORKFLOW SYSTEMS AND METHODS - An exemplary method comprises maintaining product data in a computer-readable data store, the product data including a data entry comprising a question and an answer about a product, setting a lifetime date for the data entry, publishing the question and the answer about the product for access by at least one user, and, in response to the lifetime date being reached, automatically hiding the question and the answer about the product from access by the at least one user and designating the data entry for a lifetime review. In certain embodiments, the method further comprises providing, for display, data representative of a graphical user interface configured to facilitate the lifetime review of the data entry by a user, receiving data representative of a renewal of the data entry, and updating the lifetime date for the data entry based on the data representative of the renewal of the data entry. | 11-04-2010 |
