  • Patent number: 11855859
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that provide a computerized application management framework that adaptively configures application usage and/or network parameters/characteristics at a location based on determined intelligence about the network, devices executing therein/therearound and behavioral patterns of users in/around the location. The disclosed framework can leverage information related to network capacity and coverage against network activity (e.g., upload/download, streaming, and the like) of devices connected to the network to determine i) which applications are to be prioritized, and/or ii) which devices operating such applications should be prioritized. Thus, the framework provides mechanisms for dynamically managing operations of devices connected to a network and applications executing on such devices that rely on such network connection, such that their network usage can be adaptively controlled to ensure network stability and integrity for prioritized operations.
