20130315098 | Location of Unprotected Access Points Through Protected Access Points - A solution for locating unprotected access points is provided. Particularly, a wireless network access point providing an access to a network over a wireless connection maintains a location structure comprising an indication of a geographical position of each one of a set of unprotected access points in proximity of the access point, each unprotected access point providing the access to the network at least partially unconditionally. A mobile station submits a request to access the network to the access point when the mobile station is within a transmission range thereof, receives the indication of the geographical position of at least part of the unprotected access points in response to a denial of the access from the access point, and outputs directions towards one of the unprotected access points according to the corresponding geographical position. | 11-28-2013 |
20140105008 | Affiliation of Mobile Stations and Protected Access Points - A solution for accessing a network is provided. Particularly, an embodiment of the invention provides for operating a wireless network access point providing an access to a network over a wireless connection, the access point being protected for limiting the access to the network to entitled users. A request to access the network is received from a mobile station. An entitlement of the mobile station to access the network through the access point is verified. An affiliation of the mobile station to an affiliation group of the access point is verified when the mobile station is not entitled, the affiliation group comprising a plurality of access points and a plurality of mobile stations. The access to the network is granted when the mobile station is affiliated, and the access to the network is denied when the mobile station is not affiliated. | 04-17-2014 |
20140156732 | Splitting of Processing Logics Associated with Commands of Pages in a Distributed Application - A mechanism is provided for controlling a distributed application. An indication of a computational capability of a client computing machine and of a server computing machine is detected. At least part of a page is built in response to a request received by the server computing machine from the client computing machine. The at least part of the page comprising a set of commands each one for submitting a next request on the client computing machine. Processing logic for serving each next request being split between a client processing component and a server processing component. The page with the client processing component for each command is returned to the client computing machine for causing the client computing machine to load the page and execute each client processing component in response to the corresponding next request. Each server processing component is executed in response to the corresponding next request. | 06-05-2014 |
20140181064 | GEOGRAPHICAL AREA CORRELATED WEBSITES - A system, method and/or software for using overlap between a first website area-of-interest map, associated with a first website, and a searcher area-of-interest map to help prioritize the websites returned by a search engine search. The area-of-interest maps are made up of geographic pixels respectively assigned with area-of-interest values. Overlap area is determined by comparing, on a pixel-by-pixel basis, corresponding pixels of the searcher area-of-interest map and the first website area-of-interest map to determine overlap pixels where the following conditions hold: (i) the first website area-of-interest map has a non-zero interest value, and (ii) the searcher area-of-interest map has a non-zero interest value. | 06-26-2014 |
20140187203 | AUTHENTICATION OF PHONE CALLER IDENTITY - According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for caller authentication is disclosed. The method includes: responsive to initiation of a telephone call by a caller from a first telephone unit to a second telephone unit, retrieving an identification object comprising identification information corresponding to the caller; encrypting the identification object using an encryption key stored on the first telephone unit; and transmitting, as part of the telephone call, the encrypted caller identification object to a telephone network destined for the second telephone unit. | 07-03-2014 |
