Abstract:
Techniques for multi-protocol peer-to-peer connection are described. An apparatus may comprise a discovery component to discover a remote device using a first protocol, and receive discovery information from the remote device, the discovery information including protocol information. The apparatus may comprise an authentication component to authenticate the remote device. The apparatus may comprise a connection component to establish a peer-to-peer connection with the remote device using a second protocol based on the protocol information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Techniques for smart data routing are described. A system may include a storage module configured to store network conditions for a plurality of networks and locations and a server device. The server device may be configured to determine network conditions for each of a plurality of networks and locations based upon detected usage of at least one mobile application being accessed via each of the plurality of networks and in each of the locations. Determined network conditions may be stored at the storage module. The server may be further configured to receive a request for a communication from a client device. Based upon at least the determined network conditions, the server may be configured to determine routing information for the communication. Once determined, the server may be configured to provide the routing information for the communication to the client device.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes analyzing information received from a first network-enabled device to identify instructions for a second network-enabled device associated with a second user of a social-networking system, the first network-enabled device being associated with a first user of the social-networking system. The method also includes determining (1) that the first user is connected to the second user with respect to a social graph of the social-networking system and (2) that the first user has authorization to provide instructions to the second network-enabled device, where the authorization is based on social-networking information. The method further includes providing the instructions to the second network-enabled device.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a device via a wireless signal, a request to access a WLAN of a router, the request including a device identifier. The provisioning agent may be within wireless ranges of the device and of the router. The provisioning agent may request, from an authentication server, a password for the device. The password may be uniquely generated by the authentication server for the device. The provisioning agent may receive the password from the authentication server. The provisioning agent may send, to the router, the password and the device identifier. The provisioning agent may receive, from the router, an indication that the router has verified the password with the authentication server. The router may store the device identifier in association with the password. The provisioning agent may send, to the device, the password. The password may authenticate the device to the router.

Abstract:
Some embodiments include a method of operating a computing device to learn user preferences of how to process digital images. The computing device can record a user image selection, associated with a user account, of at least one of digital image versions of a base digital image. The computing device can determine a context attribute to associate with the user image selection. The computing device can compute an image processing rule associated with the user account by applying machine learning or statistical analysis on multiple user image selections associated with the context attribute, the multiple user image selections including the user image selection.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving notifications of events associated with the connected devices, evaluating a plurality of event sequences that include two or more events occurring within a particular time period, and generating a plurality of rules based on the evaluated event sequences. The method further includes receiving a notification of a first event associated with a first connected device on the network, determining that a first rule of the plurality of rules is based on the first event, and sending one or more instructions to connected devices in accordance with the first rule.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes, by a first computing device associated with a first user, receiving a connection request from a second computing device associated with a second user. The method also includes confirming that the connection request is associated with the second user and sending to the second computing device an acceptance of the connection request in response to confirming that the connection request is associated with the second user. The method further includes receiving from the second computing device an acknowledgement of the acceptance and, in response to the acknowledgement, allowing information to be exchanged between the first and second computing devices.
Abstract:
A portable electronic device has a display, a device positioning module, and a wireless communication module. Using a first application, the device: determines whether predetermined locator timing criteria are satisfied; if the predetermined locator timing criteria are satisfied, searches for wireless signals transmitted from wireless signaling devices; if wireless signals, transmitted from the wireless signaling devices, are identified from the searching, determines whether the identified wireless signals satisfy predetermined locator wireless signal criteria. If the identified wireless signals satisfy the predetermined locator wireless signal criteria, the device identifies an identifier of a respective wireless signaling device of the wireless signaling devices; identifies a geographic location of the portable electronic device; and sends to a remote server system the identifier of the respective wireless signaling device and the geographic location of the portable electronic device.
Abstract:
Techniques for phone number and data management are described. A storage module may be configured to store contact information for a plurality of users, which may be members of a social network. A server device may be configured to receive a SIM change event from a mobile device associated with a first user of the plurality of users. The SIM change event may include updated contact information for the first user. The server may further be configured to identify one or more users from the plurality of users associated with the first user, and provide the updated contact information to one or more mobile devices associated with the one or more identified users.
