  • Publication number: 20240137331
    Abstract: Computing resources are managed in a computing network comprising a computing service provider and an edge computing network. The edge computing network receives an indication of a disconnection of communications between the computing service provider and the edge computing network. In response to the indication, the edge computing network initiates an autonomous mode at the edge computing network. The edge computing network is configured to continue providing computing and network services at the edge computing network while the edge computing network is operating in the autonomous mode.

  • Publication number: 20230388309
    Abstract: A computing network comprising a computing service provider and an edge computing network is managed. A trusted device establishes a root of trust at the edge computing network via a trusted component on the trusted device. In response to receiving a first indication of a disconnection or degradation of communications between the computing service provider and the edge computing network, the edge computing network initiates an autonomous mode at the edge computing network. While the edge computing network is operating in the autonomous mode, the trusted device detects new devices that are attempting to access computing resources in the edge computing network. The trusted device stores data pertaining to new devices that were not authorized to access the computing resources in the edge computing network.

  • Patent number: 11800575
    Abstract: Connection settings used by a mobile device to connect to a packet data network, e.g. the internet, are stored in a subscriber identity module (SIM) card. This enables connection settings to be pre-loaded on a SIM card, allowing a mobile device to immediately connect to the internet without manual configuration. The mobile device's connection settings may also be updated by a mobile network operator via an over the air profile update. For example, the operator may supply a device with connection settings the first time it connects to the network. Connection settings may be stored in one or more files within the SIM profile, and may be updated via a remote file management operation. Embedded-SIM (eSIM) profiles may also store connection settings in profile metadata, which may be updated via a metadata update operation.

  • Patent number: 11252631
    Abstract: Systems and methods herein recognize that form factors executing personal computer (PC) operating systems experience limited connectivity when traveling between WiFi connections and/or wired connections. Not only does this limit research capabilities of the PC form factor while between WiFi and/or wired connections, but the limitations place data integrity at risk. Systems and methods herein monitor for conditions that cause data integrity risks and seamlessly implement solutions that resolve, reduce, and/or manage identified data integrity risk conditions at least by simplifying a user's ability to identify and connect to networks, which offer data integrity risk solutions.

  • Patent number: 11113455
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for rendering web pages by a wireless device in order to reduce an amount of data transmitted over-the-air to the wireless device. In one embodiment, a method is performed by a server, comprising receiving a markup language document from a web server via a network interface, the markup language document corresponding to a web page. Next, the markup language document is parsed into a number of blocks by a processor, each of the blocks comprising code representing original content of the web page. Then, the processor creates one or more replacement blocks, each of the replacement blocks corresponding to a respective one of the blocks, each of the replacement blocks comprising code representing substituted content of the web page. Some of the blocks and at least one of the replacement blocks are then sent to a wireless device for rendering.

  • Patent number: 10455536
    Abstract: Mobile devices are provisionally registered when the mobile device does not have an active subscription profile. A communications session is established with an access network of a mobile communications network. Identification data for the computing device is sent to the access network. A connectivity configuration is used to allow the computing device to establish a limited connection on the mobile communications network. Using the limited connection, an eSIM profile is received. The eSIM profile is activated and the device is connected to an associated mobile network.

  • Patent number: 8892684
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a compression proxy service that dynamically selects resources or other content for compression and delivery to user devices. The resources are selected based on evaluation of compression characteristics relating to the resources. A manifest is defined to identify the selected resources, or to identify the resources not selected for processing by the compression proxy service. The user devices employ the manifest to determine whether to send requests for the resources to the compression proxy service or to another source (e.g., an origin web site). Some embodiments provide a reduction in network traffic while making efficient use of the compression proxy service.

  • Patent number: 8763089
    Abstract: Techniques and tools for flexible authentication and authorization of services on a push framework. For example, a push notification framework allows services (social networking web services, etc.) to use either an authenticated access mode or an unauthenticated access mode, in order to push information to client devices (e.g., mobile devices). In the authenticated mode, the push framework requires registration of the service with the push framework before allowing the service to push notifications to client devices. Different authenticated modes are provided for third-party and first-party services. In the unauthenticated mode, registration is not required, but notifications are throttled, thereby limiting risk of abuse by unauthenticated services. This allows flexibility for services that use the push framework.
