| 20130064132 | IDENTIFYING A WIRELESS NETWORK DEVICE ACROSS FACTORY RESETS - Techniques are presented for discovering a previously configured network device. In one embodiment, a basic service set identification (BSSID) that uniquely identifies a network device (i.e., a router) is saved when the network device or a client device is configured. The stored BSSID indicates that the network device has previously been configured. After the network device is reset—i.e., one or more user-configurable settings return to their default settings—a client device may execute a setup application to reconfigure the network device. The setup application may compare the BSSID being broadcasted by the network device with the BSSID stored in the memory. If the BSSIDs match, the setup application may automatically select the network device without user input. Because the network device was previously configured, the setup application assumes that the user is attempting to reconfigure the network device after it has been reset. | 03-14-2013 |
| 20130067041 | AUTOMATIC DIFFERENTIATION OF SETUP TYPE IN ROUTER SETUP APPLICATION - Techniques are presented for configuring multiple client devices to connect to a network device (e.g., a wireless router). In one embodiment, a setup application executing on one of the client devices determines if the network device has previously been configured. For example, the network device may broadcast a predefined network name to advertise that a user access point has been configured. If the polling setup application detects the predefined network name, then it can skip any steps that would configure the network device. Accordingly, the setup application only configures the client device to connect to the network device. | 03-14-2013 |

The installation module then configures the multiple network devices based on the other network devices connected to the smart network host device. The installation module simplifies setup of the smart network by combining the configuration of multiple network devices into a single setup flow. | 12-13-2012 |
| 20130124715 | APPLET SYNCHRONIZATION ACROSS MULTIPLE ROUTERS - In one embodiment, a method is presented for determining which downloadable applets are exposed to a user of a computer when the computer is connected to a network. Included are the steps of detecting a change in the topology of a network, requesting from a router device topology information for the network, comparing the topology information against a requirements list associated with an application executing on the computing device, where the requirements list delineates at least one of a capability and a service necessary for the application to operate properly within a network, and determining whether the application is supported by the topology of the smart home network. If the application is supported, then the application is exposed, unless the application is not permitted to operate within the network. If the application is not supported or not permitted to operate within the network, then the application is not exposed. | 05-16-2013 |

| 20100302087 | Smart Signal Jammer - A smart signal jammer is disclosed that receives a description of an unwanted signal or signals to be jammed, and transmits one or more jamming signals in one or more temporal transmission patterns of pulses that jam the unwanted signal or signals. This is in contrast to basic jammers in the prior art, which typically receive a description of a signal or signals to be transmitted. A smart jammer according to the present invention can improve the efficiency with which available transmitters are used to transmit jamming pulses, thus reducing the number of needed transmitters, compared to a prior-art jammer. A smart jammer according to the present invention comprises a jamming signal calculator that calculates the parameters of the jamming signals to be transmitted. The calculations are based on inequalities that are satisfied by an efficient jamming signal. | 12-02-2010 |
