  • Patent number: 10200963
    Abstract: A user device may determine an access point within communication range of the user device; determine whether location information, associated with the access point, is stored by the user device in the data structure; and obtain, based on the determination that the location information is not stored by the user device, a location of the user device. When obtaining the location information of the user device, the user device may invoke location identification hardware. The user device may store the obtained location information of the user device, in the data structure, as location information corresponding to the access point; obtain, based on the determination that the location information is stored in the data structure, the location information of the user device from the data structure; generate a location record identifying the location of the user device; and store or output the location record.

  • Publication number: 20130198021
    Abstract: Passcodes may be managed for an account that is associated with multiple mobile devices. A list of mobile devices, associated with the account, may be provided to a user, where the account may be associated with a verification passcode that is used to verify purchases. The user may select a set of mobile devices from the list, and the selected set of mobile devices may be enabled to make purchases that are charged to the account. A request may be received, from one of the mobile devices, to make a purchase, and a passcode may be received from the one of the mobile devices. The request for the purchase may be permitted when the passcode matches the verification passcode.

  • Patent number: 8498626
    Abstract: A system is configured to receive, from an enterprise device, a request to access a network domain, and is configured to determine whether the network domain is associated with a wireless service provider service. Based on determining that the network domain is not associated with the wireless service provider service, the system is configured to route the request to a private network associated with the enterprise device. Based on determining that the network domain is associated with the wireless service provider service, the system is configured to route the request to a domain name system server associated with the wireless service provider, receive a domain name system response to the request, the domain name system response identifying a network address, and route the domain name system response to the enterprise device.
