20110030037 | ZONE MIGRATION IN NETWORK ACCESS - The present disclosure is directed to providing a network user the ability to travel between different zones or locations within a network environment, such as, for example, a hospitality location, without requiring a user to re-login to the new location, while requiring a user to re-login to other locations within the network environment. | 02-03-2011 |
20120185586 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GROUP BANDWIDTH MANAGEMENT IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS NETWORK - An embodiment is a method of managing bandwidth, performed by a computing system. The system receives user-selected connection parameters associated with a subscriber device. The system associates a network identifier of the subscriber device with a group bandwidth policy, based on the user-selected connection parameters. The system stores, in computer-readable storage media, parameters associated with the group bandwidth policy, in association with the network identifier of the subscriber device. The system receives, at a gateway device, network communication data from the subscriber device. The system limits, at the gateway device, bandwidth available to the network communication data, based on the stored parameters associated with the group bandwidth policy. | 07-19-2012 |
20120290724 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NETWORK REDIRECTION - One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a system for identifying and directing requests for network services. During operation, the system receives at a network controller a Domain Name System (DNS) query from a client device. The system can determine if the DNS query includes a pre-defined DNS string. Further, if the DNS query includes the pre-defined DNS string, the system identifies a local portal associated with the pre-defined DNS string. Moreover, the system can direct the client device to the local portal. | 11-15-2012 |
20120297459 | ZONE MIGRATION IN NETWORK ACCESS - The present disclosure is directed to providing a network user the ability to travel between different zones or locations within a network environment, such as, for example, a hospitality location, without requiring a user to re-login to the new location, while requiring a user to re-login to other locations within the network environment. | 11-22-2012 |
20120300788 | SERIAL REDIRECTOR DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - Systems and methods for a serial redirector device to provide services using serial communication redirection through a packet-based interface. In one implementation, the serial redirector device is configured to receive messages via a packet-based interface and redirect the same to a device in serial communication with the serial redirector device. The serial redirector mediates the communication between serially connected devices and devices connected via packet-based interfaces. | 11-29-2012 |
20140047514 | ZONE MIGRATION IN NETWORK ACCESS - The present disclosure is directed to providing a network user the ability to travel between different zones or locations within a network environment, such as, for example, a hospitality location, without requiring a user to re-login to the new location, while requiring a user to re-login to other locations within the network environment. | 02-13-2014 |
20140280910 | HIERARCHICAL RULE-BASED ROUTING SYSTEM - The local network connection system (LNCS) is configured to balance the subscriber network traffic. Load balancing of subscriber traffic can be accomplished by logically assigning each subscriber to one of the available Internet Service Provider (ISP) links. The assignment of subscribers can be based on a rule set that determines which ISP to assign to a subscriber. The rule set can be used to balance the load on the network interfaces, the ISPs, and provide failover options for the LNCS. The system can perform network interface monitoring operations in order to determine if one or more of the network interfaces have ISP connections and are available to transport network traffic over a network, such as the Internet. | 09-18-2014 |
20150206186 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INJECTING CONTENT - Aspects of the present disclosure include systems and methods for injecting content into a webpage at or local to a network access gateway. For example, in an embodiment, a network access gateway is provided for accessing the internet. A user logs onto the internet through the network access gateway and request a webpage. The gateway requests the webpage from the webpage provider. Before the gateway delivers the webpage to the user, the gateway, or a content injection engine local to the gateway, injects content, such as, for example, advertisements or other useful information, into the webpage and then sends the altered webpage to the user. | 07-23-2015 |
