| 20080311855 | INTELLIGENT CONNECTIVITY FRAMEWORK FOR THE SIMULTANEOUS USE OF MULTIPLE INTERFACES - A system and method comprising a framework configured to enable wireless devices to intelligently and simultaneously use multiple wireless interfaces of the wireless devices. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090186602 | APPROACH TO SECURE LOCALIZATION IN WIRELESS NETWORKS - Embodiments of the present invention disclose a secure localization infrastructure using transmitters that can transmit messages at multiple distinct power levels throughout a community of reference points. Transmitters send messages at different power levels in a manner that every location in the system corresponds to a unique set of messages. Received messages are reported back to the localization infrastructure, which then determines location by comparing the messages reported. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20100083121 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING MULTIPLE CONNECTIVITY OPTIONS - This present application relates to, among other things, novel techniques to evaluate and qualify multiple networking options. A device contains multiple network connectivity options, including but not limited to various wireless and wired technologies such as Wi-Fi, 3G, WiMAX, LTE, Ethernet, Bluetooth, UWB, WHDMI, etc. Each connectivity option can be evaluation and pre-qualified prior to the user selecting that mode of communication. This evaluation process takes into account both lower-layer information such as signal strength, bit error rates, SNR, interference, etc. but also network-layer information such as IP connectivity, and end-to-end path performance. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100110921 | PRE-EVALUATION OF MULTIPLE NETWORK ACCESS POINTS - The present application describes, inter alia, novel techniques to perform pre-evaluations of multiple Wi-Fi Access Points (AP) and Access Networks (AN). A pre-evaluation determines whether or not an AP is connected to the Internet and measures the path performance that the AN, via that particular AP, can offer between the mobile device and a pre-specified Internet host. In addition, the invention also discloses methods to determine whether the AN requires a user to actively authenticate themselves through a redirect log-on page. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100142465 | CHANNEL PARTITIONING FOR WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS - The present application discloses, inter alia, a system for improving the aggregate throughput of a wireless local area network which includes: at least one access point that is equipped with at least one transceiver configured to simultaneously transmit and receive at multiple frequencies using multiple channels; and the access point being configured to acquire channel conditions of users and to pool sets of users on the channels based on the channel conditions. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100189078 | SEAMLESS MOBILITY FOR A MULTIPLE INTERFACE DEVICE IN A CO-LOCATED WIRELESS ENVIRONMENT - Data packets are transmitted from a first access network to a first interface of a multiple interface device (MID), and identical data packets are transmitted concurrently from a second access network to a second interface of the MID. Some of the data packets that are transmitted to the MID from the first access network are not received by the first interface. The MID inspects identifiers of data packets from the first and second interfaces in order to send to the application a stream including all of the data packets. For example, the MID sends to the application the data packets from the first interface, buffers the data packets from the second interface, and sends data packets from the buffer to the application upon detecting that data packets in the buffer were transmitted to the first interface but not received by the first interface. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100318520 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING COMMENTARY THAT IS RELATED TO CONTENT - A system and method for processing commentary that is related to content is provided. In an illustrative embodiment, the system and method involves receiving commentary that is related to content and which is generated after generation of the content, and generating data associating the commentary with the content by at least one of spatially linking the commentary to the content or temporally linking the commentary to the content. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20120028643 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO SUPPORT USER-CENTRIC SELECTION OF POINT OF ATTACHMENT THROUGH MOMENTARY INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCE CONVEYANCE AND THROUGH CORRELATION OF WEB LINKS TO QUALITY AND EXPERIENCE METRICS - A system and method for improving quality of experience (QoE) of using a mobile device can comprise utilization of stored information relating to RANs of service providers and QoE ratings, receiving an event related to the RANs or to mobile Web browsing actions, receiving requests for QoE metrics based on the event, parsing and interpreting results of the QoE metrics; preparing and beginning an emulation session of the RANs, choosing a presentation style, rendering QoE in accordance with the browser actions and the presentation style which can be purely quantitative comparison, pre-recorded session, limited interaction-emulated session, live interactive session and live automatically controlled non-interactive session, and enabling user input according to the presentation style. The method can comprise standardizing information to allow comparison of the information, rendering network-related information on a display and updating the presentation of the network-related information to maintain a fair representation of the RANs being emulated. | 02-02-2012 |
