Systems and methods for providing centralized authentication storage and management are described. An illustrative method includes a gateway device detecting that a first computing device connected to an on-premises network logs into a cloud-based service by way of the gateway device, stores an authentication token provided to the gateway device by the cloud-based service, and obtains authorization data indicating that a second computing device connected to the on-premises network is authorized to access the cloud-based service. The method may further include a gateway device that shares the authentication token with a second computing device.

Centralized authentication storage and management for cloud-based services

In some implementations, a first device may obtain first channel state information (CSI) of a second device. The first device may determine that a variance of the first CSI exceeds a variance threshold. The first device may determine that a motion event has occurred based on determining that the variance, of the first CSI, exceeds the variance threshold. The first device may determine a location of the motion event based on the first CSI and second CSI of a third device. The first device may adjust an operation of one or more devices associated with the location based on determining the motion event.

Systems and methods for detecting motion events based on channel state information

In some implementations, a user device may receive a text message and identify a keyword that relates to a future event. The user device may display, based on identifying the keyword, a first user interface that includes the text message and an option to set a reminder. The user device may receive a selection of the option and display a second user interface. The user device may receive a selection of a reminder type and automatically populate the reminder with text of the text message based on the selection of the reminder type. The user device may store the reminder and cause an action to be performed based on the reminder.

Systems and methods for sending and receiving messages as reminders

A network device receives first signaling from a first parent device that assigns a first task for completion by a first child, and includes a first task allotment designated by the parent for the first child's completion of the first task. The network device receives second signaling, from a first child device, indicating that the first child has completed the first task. The network device sends third signaling to the first parent device requesting approval of the completion of the first task, and receives, responsive to the third signaling, an indicator of an approval, or a rejection, from the first parent device. The network device initiates provision of the first task allotment to the first child based on receipt of the indicator of approval from the first parent device.

Platform for managing activities

A wireless network device can receive, at a traffic director in a kernel space, a data packet from a client device and determine whether the data packet is intended for an application cloud server operating in a cloud environment. The wireless network device can provide, based on determining that the data packet is intended for the application cloud server, the data packet to an application server instance executing on the wireless network device. The application server instance can be implemented in a virtualized software container in a user space, and can be configured to perform one or more operations associated with the application cloud server. The wireless network device can receive, at the traffic director and from the application server instance, a result of the application server instance performing the one or more operations on the data packet, and transmit the result to the application cloud server.

Mobile edge computing

A risk assessment platform receives an indication of a first user authentication event associated with a user's attempt to access a first protected resource, and collects first user and device attributes associated with a first authentication process applied to the user and the user's device. The risk assessment platform receives an indication of a second user authentication event associated with the user's attempt to access a second protected resource, and collects second user and device attributes associated with a second authentication process applied to the user and the user's device. The risk assessment platform determines a level of risk of identity fraud associated with the user based on the first and second user and device attributes, and grants or denies the user access to the second protected resource based on the determined level of risk of identity fraud associated with the user.

Identity fraud risk engine platform

A mobile architecture system includes a plurality of connection nodes each comprising an access interface and at least one network interface. A plurality of aggregation layer devices are each coupled to respective sets of connection nodes to form aggregation regions. A backhaul network is coupled to each of the aggregation layer devices, and a mobility entity is coupled to the backhaul network, wherein each of the connection nodes is configured to receive attachment requests from at least one user device. The aggregation layer devices are configured to assign IP addresses to user devices connected to connection nodes coupled to the respective aggregation layer devices. The aggregation layer devices are configured to determine IP routes from the backhaul network to the connection nodes based on the assigned IP addresses. The aggregation layer devices are further configured to notify respective connection nodes regarding the IP addresses assigned to connected user devices.

IP aggregation for LTE-based mobile networks

Network devices receive configuration settings for a portable data account with a service provider. The portable data account provides for mobile data over a broadband cellular network. The network devices receive, via a mobile device, user credentials, for a user, to activate a portable data service for the mobile device. The network devices determine that the user credentials correspond to the portable data account, the portable data account being different than a default account associated with the mobile device. The network devices map a temporary mobile directory number (MDN), which is associated with the portable data account, to a unique identifier for the mobile device, and enforce the configuration settings for a portable data session, associated with the temporary MDN, for the portable data account. The network devices log mobile data, used by the mobile device, for the portable data session and create a billing record for the portable data session, the billing record being based on the logging and associated with the portable data account.

Portable data for mobile devices

A system may receive a content request associated with a user device. The content request may include information that identifies a subscriber associated with the user device and information that identifies a content provider associated with the content request. The system may determine a unique identification header (UIDH), associated with the subscriber, based on the content request. The system may determine randomized information associated with encrypting the UIDH. The system may encrypt the UIDH to create a transactional identifier. The UIDH may be encrypted based on the randomized information and a shared key. The system may insert the transactional identifier and the randomized information in the content request to create a modified content request. The system may provide the modified content request including the transactional identifier and the randomized information.

Encrypting a unique identification header to create different transactional identifiers

Network devices register a mobile device to use mobile data with a service provider network and create a default account for the mobile device. The network devices receive, via the mobile device, user credentials to activate a portable data service for the mobile device, and determine that the user credentials correspond to an existing account that is different than the default account for the mobile device. The network devices assign, to the existing account, a temporary mobile directory number (MDN); map the temporary MDN to a unique identifier for the mobile device; and log mobile data use, by the mobile device, using the temporary MDN. The network devices detect a signal to deactivate the portable data service for the mobile device; and creating a billing record based on the logging and associated with the existing account.

A collapsed or compact mobile architecture system includes connection nodes each comprising an access interface and at least one network interface; a backhaul network coupled to each of the connection nodes; and a mobility control unit coupled to the backhaul network. The mobility control unit comprises an Internet Protocol (IP) address server. Each of the connection nodes is configured to receive attachment requests from at least one user device. The mobility control unit is configured to receive first control plane signals from the connection nodes based on the attachment requests and transmit second control plane signals to the connection nodes based on the attachment requests. The mobility control unit is further configured to assign an IP address to each of the at least one user devices, based on the receive first control plane signals.
