A cloud-based onboarding server steers guest devices to a preferred SSID when detected as a guest of a homeowner access point also registered with the cloud-based onboarding server. Three different levels of network access include default, guest and private network access, and each network uses a different SSID from the homeowner access point.

Selective cloud-based SSID (service set identifier) steering for allowing different levels of access for wireless network friends when onboarding on Wi-Fi networks

A cloud-based Wi-Fi controller facilitates forced transitions. Dynamic RSSI thresholds for sticky-client stations are calculated and periodically updated based on changing conditions. When measured RSSI values reach a dynamic RSSI threshold, the cloud-based Wi-Fi controller reassociates the sticky-client station with a preferred access point, regardless of whether the sticky-client station has reached the same determination.

Controlling transitions between access points with dynamic RSSI (received signal strength indicator) thresholds for sticky-client stations of cloud-controlled Wi-Fi networks

A cloud control element distributes security keys prior to roaming to facilitate fast transition roaming across different IP subnets. The cloud control element distributes security keys to access points identified as neighboring and sharing a common SSID (service set identifier), but over different IP subnets. The security keys embed information related to authentication by stations for a specific SSID. Responsive to connecting with a specific wireless station roaming to a target access point from a source access point, fast transition by way of a security key is utilized to authenticate the specific wireless station without a full authentication protocol through a RADIUS server.

Pre-roaming security key distribution for faster roaming transitions over cloud-managed Wi-Fi networks of heterogeneous IP subnets

A cloud-based onboarding server detects a network change and facilitates an onboarding process for a new access point. An SSID and authentication credentials for an existing Wi-Fi channel are sent over a temporary Wi-Fi channel using a preconfigured SSID and passphrase generated by both the new access point and the master access point. A wireless station scans the identification information from a label on the new access point and sends it directly or indirectly to the master access point, so that both sides have the same seed for generating a matching passphrase. The master access point terminates the temporary channel and reactivates the existing Wi-Fi channel.

Secure plug and play configuration of wireless distribution system (WDS) Wi-Fi range extenders

A method of activating and configuring a Wi-Fi enabled device to connect with a Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) by a cloud-based Wi-Fi service manager is disclosed. A unique identifier of the Wi-Fi enabled device and a unique identifier of the Wi-Fi AP are received by the cloud-based Wi-Fi service manager. The unique identifier of the Wi-Fi enabled device is used as a seed for a predetermined algorithm to generate a temporary service set identifier (SSID) and a temporary passphrase. The temporary SSID and the temporary passphrase are sent to the Wi-Fi AP for configuring the Wi-Fi AP with the temporary SSID and the temporary passphrase.

Onboarding and configuring Wi-Fi enabled devices

One or more Bluetooth assets having a Bluetooth radio are associated with a specific set of business rules by enterprise users. Scan event data is received from at least one of a plurality of Bluetooth sensors having Bluetooth radios, wirelessly distributed around a communication network. The scan event data results from a scan event wherein the Bluetooth asset was within range of the at least one Bluetooth sensor. The scan event is analyzed against the business rules. Responsive to determining that at scan event meets at least one condition of at least one of the specific set of business rules, a notification can be sent. One specific implementation in a smart car seat safety system notifies a parent when a child is unintentionally left in a smart car seat.

Asset monitoring and tracking with a distributed Bluetooth low energy (BTLE) sensor system of heterogeneous sensors over wireless networks

A method of managing heterogeneous wireless devices in three or more different types of networks is disclosed. Each type of network uses a different type of radio access technology. The method includes receiving measurement data from a plurality of heterogeneous wireless devices via a control interface, wherein a heterogeneous wireless device provides connections to client devices via one or more of the three or more radio access technologies. The method includes searching, using a processor, for optimized adjustments to one or more parameters associated with one or more of the plurality of heterogeneous wireless devices based at least in part on a set of network optimization goals and the measurement data received from the plurality of heterogeneous wireless devices. The method includes transmitting at least some of the optimized adjustments of the one or more parameters to the one or more of the plurality of heterogeneous wireless devices.

Cloud-based management platform for heterogeneous wireless devices

Musical compositions are generated from image pixels. To do so, pixel values are mapped to musical elements together for creating the musical compositions. Additionally, images are formed from pixels generated from musical compositions. More generally, a computer system creatively generates media using captured media as a source. The system also generates collage images in which individual images are pixels for the collage image. Collages are further generated from text.
