    Abstract: A device, system, and method gives temporary control of a user device using location based grants. The method performed by a control server of a third party is performed when the user device is in a predetermined area. The method includes transmitting authentication data to the user device, the authentication data configured to authenticate the third party to the user device, the predetermined area being associated with the third party. The method includes receiving a request from the user device for command data, the command data configured to be executed on the user device to provide the third party with a limited control over the user device while the user device remains in the predetermined area. The method includes transmitting the command data to the user device.

    Abstract: Communication information is received from a Wireless Fidelity (“WiFi”) interface. The WiFi interface may receive WiFi information from a WiFi endpoint and/or BLE beacons from a Bluetooth device. The reason a WiFi device can receive BLE beacons is because WiFi channels and BLE beacon frequencies overlap. The BLE beacon may come from a various types of Bluetooth devices, such as a sensor, a mobile device, a communication device, and/or the like. The communication information is filtered based on one or more defined BLE beacon channels. If there are one or more BLE beacons detected in the one or more defined BLE beacon channels, BLE information is generated. The BLE information is then sent to a communication device that tracks the BLE information. For example a network monitoring station can track the BLE information.

    Abstract: A customer service robot may be selected, or configured, to address a particular work item. Robots may comprise different functionality due to absent software or hardware or due to existent but worn or non-compliant components. A particular work item may have several means of resolution. A particular resolution path is selected in accord with the ability of a robot. Should no path exist, the robot may be transformed by the addition or installation of hardware and/or software to provide the absent functionality. Resolution paths may also be weighted based on the level of success provided by prior resolution paths and/or the requirement for human involvement. Accordingly, a resolution path may be provided that balances robot capability with the likelihood of success and an appropriate level of human involvement.

    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and computer readable media for extending the lifetime of a network address when an address system is unavailable. In a particular embodiment, a method provides, upon determining that a first network address for a network element has reached a preferred lifetime for the first network address, transitioning the network element to an extended rebind state that allows the first network address to remain in the preferred state. While the network element is in the extended rebind state, the method provides attempting to contact an address system and determining whether a second network element is assigned the first network address. The method further provides maintaining the first network address in the preferred state and the network element in the extended rebind state until contact is made with the address system or the second network element is determined to be assigned the first network address.

    Abstract: System and method to manage an electronic conference hosted by a conference server coupled to a processor and a memory, the method including: receiving, by a communication interface of the conference server, a request from a user to participate in an electronic conference; determining, by the processor, resources needed by the user and resources needed by the electronic conference; determining resource contentions among resources needed by the user and resources needed by the electronic conference; collecting contextual information related to at least one of the user and resources needed by the electronic conference; and resolving, by the processor, contentions among resources needed by the user and resources needed by the electronic conference.
