Abstract:
A system and method for registering a client device to obtain network access from a provider device. A server receives an authorization request for a user account to provide network access from provider devices associated with the user account to client devices associated with the user account. The server receives a unique identifier for each of the client devices, and provides the unique identifier for each of the client devices to each of the provider devices. The server provides an indication to at least one provider device to monitor for a request for network access from at least one client device, the request from the client device comprising the unique identifier of the client device. The provider device is configured to provide network access information to the client device in response to the request.
Abstract:
A system and method for managing a power mode of a designated electronic device are provided. A geographical location of a mobile electronic device is determined. A comparison of the determined geographical location of the mobile electronic device and a stored location of a designated electronic device in a power-off mode is made. A wake-up signal is sent to the designated electronic device if the determined geographical location of the mobile electronic device is within a proximity threshold of the designated electronic device, where the designated electronic device is configured to enter a power-on mode upon receipt of the wake-up signal.
Abstract:
A system and method for operating an electronic device in a limited radio mode are provided. The system determines a location of an electronic device. The system also identifies one or more components of the electronic device enabled to provide radio data communication services. The system, for each of the identified one or more components, determines if a respective radio data communication service provided by the component is an authorized service at a determined location of the electronic device and selectively disables the component if the respective data communication service is not an authorized service.
Abstract:
The disclosed subject matter relates to computer implemented methods for transferring a state of an application from a first computing device to a second computing device. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a first request from a first computing device to transfer a state of a first application from the first computing device to the second computing device. The method further includes sending to the second computing device, a second request for an approval to initiate the transfer. The method further includes receiving from the second computing device an approval to initiate the transfer. The method further includes receiving from the first computing device, based on the received approval, the state of the first application. The method further includes sending the received state of the first application to the second device.

Abstract:
Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for providing an access point recommendation to a client system. A system may be configured to receive, from a plurality of reporting systems, access point reports for a plurality of access points, each access point report comprising information about an access point, prioritize the plurality of access points based on the access point reports, and provide an access point recommendation to a client system based on the prioritization of the plurality of access points.
Abstract:
A method and system for accessing a wireless local area network are provided. The method and system include receiving, from a wireless client device, an authentication request comprising credentials for a user account of a cloud-based service and forwarding the authentication request to a server associated with the cloud-based service for authentication of the credentials. An authentication response and a configuration profile associated with the user account of the cloud-based service is received from the server. The authentication response is forwarded to the wireless client device. An association request is received from the wireless client device and the wireless client device is associated with the wireless local area network in response to the association request. The association of the wireless client device with the wireless local area network is configured according to the received configuration profile associated with the user account.
Abstract:
The subject technology discloses configurations for determining, at a first computing device, if a second computing device is within a predetermined distance of the first computing device. The subject technology then establishes, at the first computing device, a wireless near field communication (NFC) connection with the second computing device. Information for configuring a wireless tethering connection with the second computing device is then transmitted over the wireless NFC connection. Further, the subject technology receives, over the wireless NFC connection, confirmation that the wireless tethering connection has been configured.

Abstract:
In some embodiments, a device for network connection selection may include a network connection selector configured to obtain historical connection information related to previous network connections utilized by a device. The historical connection information may include connectivity disruptions indicating whether connectivity was disrupted for one or more network connections that were previously established by the device. The network connection selector may be configured to select a network connection for the device among a plurality of available network connections based on an evaluation of the historical connection information such that the selected network connection substantially maintains connectivity to a network for a future period of time.
