20150257083 | UNIFYING MULTIPLE WIRELESS NETWORKS - Techniques for unifying multiple logical networks are provided. For example, a method may include receiving, at a computing device, a communication, wherein the communication includes an indication that a first network identifier and a second network identifier are associated with a plurality of network devices in a network. The method may further include determining a common network identifier for use with the plurality of network devices in the network and transmitting the common network identifier to one or more of the plurality of network devices. | 09-10-2015 |
20150257179 | UNIFYING MULTIPLE WIRELESS NETWORKS - Techniques for unifying multiple logical networks are provided. For example, a method may include receiving, at a computing device, a communication, wherein the communication indicates a plurality of network devices that are detected by a mobile device, and wherein the plurality of network devices detected by the mobile device are in a network. The method may further include determining that multiple network identifiers are associated with the plurality of network devices. The method may further include determining a common network identifier for use with the plurality of network devices in the network, and transmitting the common network identifier to the plurality of network devices. | 09-10-2015 |
20150280994 | LOGICAL NETWORK GENERATION USING PRIMARY GATEWAY CREDENTIALS - Techniques for identifying a primary gateway and generating a logical network using credentials of the primary gateway are provided. For example, a method, computing device, or computer-program product may include transmitting a query, wherein the query includes a request for identifying a primary gateway in a local area network, and receiving a response to the query, wherein the response includes an identifier associated with the primary gateway. Further, the method, computing device, or computer-program product may include transmitting credentials of the primary gateway, wherein the credentials are used to associate the computing device with a logical network in the local area network, and receiving a network identifier, wherein the network identifier is associated with the logical network in the local area network. | 10-01-2015 |
20150281240 | IOT DEVICE ENVIRONMENT DETECTION, IDENTIFICATION AND CACHING - A method and apparatus for controlling latency within a wireless system, and more specifically sharing, updating and storing status information between devices in a wireless network, is disclosed. An example method includes receiving, at a computing device, a communication including an indication that a mobile device is associated with a device on a network; transmitting stored status data, wherein the stored status data includes a status corresponding to the device, and wherein when the stored status data is received, the stored status data is used to display the status corresponding to the device; detecting updated status data corresponding to the device; updating the stored status data corresponding to the device using the updated status data corresponding to the device; and transmitting the updated status data, wherein the updated status data includes the updated status corresponding to the device, and wherein when the updated status data is received, the updated status data is used to display the updated status corresponding to the device. | 10-01-2015 |
20150281392 | IOT DEVICE ENVIRONMENT DETECTION, IDENTIFICATION AND CACHING - A method and apparatus for controlling latency within a wireless system, and more specifically sharing, updating and storing status information between devices in a wireless network, is disclosed. An example method includes receiving, at a computing device, a communication including an indication that a mobile device is associated with a device on a network; transmitting stored status data, wherein the stored status data includes a status corresponding to the device, and wherein when the stored status data is received, the stored status data is used to display the status corresponding to the device; detecting updated status data corresponding to the device; updating the stored status data corresponding to the device using the updated status data corresponding to the device; and transmitting the updated status data, wherein the updated status data includes the updated status corresponding to the device, and wherein when the updated status data is received, the updated status data is used to display the updated status corresponding to the device. | 10-01-2015 |
20150282217 | SMART LOCAL DEVICE REDISCOVERY - A smart local device rediscovery method is disclosed to take advantage of network devices with persistent addresses. A network device can quickly display cached status information from known network devices to a user while transmitting status update and network discovery requests to determine the accuracy of the cached information. The network device can use cached last known addresses to send unicast status update requests to known devices while concurrently performing a multicast discovery request to check for new devices or devices with changed addresses. A user can be provided with cached information immediately and the display can be updated as replies to the status update requests and discovery requests are received. | 10-01-2015 |
20150304157 | MODULAR INTERFACE FRAMEWORK FOR NETWORK DEVICES - Techniques for providing interface modules for controlling network devices are provided. For example, a method may include receiving, at a computing device, a communication including a unique identifier for a network device connected to a network. The method may further include using the unique identifier to determine an interface module for the network device and transmitting the interface module, wherein when the interface module is received, the interface module displays one or more interface elements usable to control the network device connected to the network. | 10-22-2015 |
20150304171 | MODULAR INTERFACE FRAMEWORK FOR NETWORK DEVICES - Techniques for providing interface modules for controlling network devices are provided.
