    Abstract: Methods and systems for prevention of theft of services using geolocation information are described herein. A method for determining theft of services using geolocation information includes obtaining, by a service provider system from an access device at a premises, access device geolocation information, obtaining, by the service provider system from a location server, premises geolocation information based on an address of the premises, granting, by the service provider system, service provider services to the access device in response to the access device geolocation information meeting or being within the premises geolocation information; and denying, by the service provider system, the service provider services to the access device in response to the access device geolocation information being outside the premises geolocation information.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling device use of available networks, e.g., cellular and WiFi, are described. End devices report key performance indicator and resource utilization information, e.g., on a per application basis, to a configuration server. The configuration server determines, based on the received information, e.g., using machine learning and/or artificial intelligence, sets of configuration profiles, each configuration profile including one or more set of applications for which an end device should use a particular network. An exemplary configuration profile may identify a first set of applications for which a first network is to be used, e.g., a cellular network such as a P-LTE network, and a second set of applications for which a second network, e.g. a WiFi network, is to be used. The configuration server selects a configuration profile that is best suited for a particular end device and communicates that selected profile to the end device.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for using an artificial intelligence engine to automatically predict what network slices will be needed are described. After the network slice prediction is made network slices are automatically generated in accordance with AI machine learned prediction. This new automated approach ensures the network slices are up to date and devices assigned the network slices properly as the new devices get activated on the network. This new approach can also add elasticity to the network slices based on the devices assigned to them by changing the amount of resources allocated to slices of a particular type as predicted resource needs change.

    Abstract: Methods performed by a processor of a computing device for managing functionality of the computing device to interact with field equipment may include determining by the processor a location of field equipment based on information obtained by the processor proximate to the field equipment, determining by the processor a location of the computing device based on geolocation information, determining whether the location of the field equipment based on information obtained by the processor proximate to the field equipment and the location of the computing device based on geolocation information are within a threshold distance, verifying the location of the field equipment in response to determining that the location of the field equipment based on information obtained by the processor proximate to the field equipment and the location of the computing device based on geolocation information are within the threshold distance, and enabling functionality of the computing device to interact with the field equipment in response to verifying the location of the field equipment.

    Abstract: A wireless device (e.g., a cell phone) having a first SIM card for a first (e.g., private) wireless network and a second SIM card for a second (e.g., public) wireless network. The wireless device disables searching for the first wireless network if its current location is outside of a defined coverage region for the first wireless network, thereby saving battery power. The defined coverage region may be defined by minimum and maximum longitude and latitude values that superscribe the overall coverage area of the first wireless network. The network server for the first wireless network transmits a definition of a defined coverage region for the wireless network and automatically updates the defined coverage region when the overall coverage area of the first wireless network is modified, such as when a new access point is added to the network.
