Account delegation is provided. A request for access to a secure system using an owner's account is received from an applier via a browser supplement module on the applier's computing device. The request is communicated to the account owner via a browser supplement module on the account owner's computing device. Approval of the request is received from the account owner. The secure system is logged into using the account owner's credential. A connection to the applier's computing device is established to act as a proxy for communication between the secure system and the applier's computing device. Further provided herein are a computer system and a computer program product for performing the method.

Disclosed aspects relate to access point selection. A set of beacon frame transmission data for a set of access points is collected by a computing device. The set of beacon frame transmission data includes first and second subsets including frame rates for access points and network capability data including security data for access points. The computing device compares factors derived utilizing the frame rates. The computing device weights the beacon frame transmission data with respect to the network capability data for the access points, wherein the weighting indicates security data has a heavier weight than network signal strength. The computing device computes, using the first and second factors and the weighting, a set of expected network quality scores. The computing device determines, using the set of expected network quality scores, to establish the connection utilizing the first access point. The computing device establishes the connection utilizing the first access point.

Access point selection

Disclosed aspects relate to access point selection. A set of beacon frame transmission data for a set of access points may be collected by a computing device. The beacon frame transmission data may include first and second subsets indicating respective frame success rates. The computing device may compare factors derived utilizing the respective frame success rates. The computing device may evaluate network capability data for the access points. The computing device may weight the beacon frame transmission data with respect to information indicating network security and encryption level have heavier weights than other factors, and identify that the first access point achieves an encryption level threshold. The computing device may use the beacon frame transmission data for the set of access points to determine to establish a connection utilizing the first access point. The computing device may establish the connection utilizing the first access point.

Disclosed aspects relate to encoded text data management using a set of encoded text data types. A first set of bits which indicates a first encoded text data type may be identified. A second set of bits which indicates a first quantitative size of a third set of bits for a first set of text data of the first encoded text data type may be identified. Using both the first set of bits and the second set of bits, an encoded data management operation may be executed with respect to the third set of bits for the first set of text data of the first encoded text data type.

Disclosed aspects relate to access point selection. A set of beacon frame transmission data for a set of access points may be collected by a computing device. The computing device may use the set of beacon frame transmission data for the set of access points to determine to establish a connection utilizing a first access point of the set of access points. The computing device may establish the connection utilizing the first access point.

A method for operating a computer device incorporating a touch screen is provided. The method includes pre-defining a first pointing device command and a second pointing device command, which are not related to directional pointing control, in the computer device. In response to a first touch, the touch screen generates a first touch signal. The first pointing device invokes a command in response to the first touch signal. In response to a second touch different from the first touch, the touch screen generates a second touch signal. The second pointing device command is invokes in response to the second touch signal.
