Abstract: Contextual messaging systems and message implemented through a mobile device associated with a sender of a message include composing a message to a recipient via a messaging application; selecting one or more unique characters or pictures to trigger one or more of functionality, an application, or a service on a mobile device associated with the recipient; selecting one or more additional details subsequent to selecting the one or more unique characters or pictures, wherein the one or more additional details are used in the functionality, application or service; and sending the message to a mobile device associated with the recipient with the one or more unique characters or pictures and the one or more additional details. The mobile device is configured to receive the message and automatically perform one or more actions based on the one or more unique characters or pictures and the one or more additional details.

Abstract: A workflow management system, a client device, and a method describe business workflow management systems and methods optimized for small to medium-sized businesses. The systems and methods can include a recommendation engine to parse through data to provide a finite and optimized to-do list to business owners and employees to optimize business operation and overall productivity recognizing the inherent constraints in small to medium-sized businesses. The recommendations in the to-do list are based on data analysis using a plurality of factors such as context, time, efficiency, etc. The systems and methods are focused on the needs and objectives of business owners in the context of running a more efficient business. The recommendations seek to be relevant, actionable, and contextually-driven to optimize business operations recognizing that small and medium-sized businesses have finite resources during ongoing operations.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling network traffic with different tags within the same connection by applying policies for each tag are disclosed. A method is disclosed in which incoming traffic is received. A traffic class is assigned to the traffic class. Outgoing traffic is controlled based on the assigned policy for the incoming traffic.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems facilitating location or containment of rogue or unauthorized access points on wireless computer network environments. Embodiments of the present invention support one to a plurality of rogue containment methodologies. A first rogue containment type involves identification of the physical connection of the rogue access point to the wired network infrastructure and, thus, allows for disabling of that physical connection to contain the rogue access point. Other rogue containment methods involve wireless techniques for containing the effect of rogue access points. In some embodiments, the present invention provides methods, apparatuses and systems facilitating network location of rogue access points to determine whether one or more rogue containment methodologies should be applied. As discussed below, the rogue location and containment functionality described herein can be applied to a wide variety of wireless network system architectures.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems facilitating hierarchical network traffic classification and resource allocation schemes. In one embodiment, the present invention provides traffic classification data structure facilitating creation and configuration of multi-dimensional, hierarchical network resource allocation schemes. The present invention features a hierarchical network traffic classification scheme that allows users to logically embed (or otherwise associate) one or more reference trees within selected traffic class nodes of a given traffic classification tree. In one embodiment, an administrator can create a pool of referenceable traffic classification trees and select such trees or sub-trees from the pool to achieve a variety of different traffic classification configurations.
