  • Publication number: 20210036937
    Abstract: A data packet generator device includes a processing device, a wireless communication device, and a network communication device. The processing device generates a token including alphanumeric characters. The wireless communication device receives the token from the processor and transmits the token as a network name. The network communication device also receives the token from the processing device and communicates the same token across a network communication cable.

  • Publication number: 20100046553
    Abstract: A data packet generator periodically generates a data packet including a passcode comprising a plurality of characters. The data packet is sent to a server or a computing device for validation. If validated, the data packet is used, for example, to identify the location of a user or device. Additional systems and methods involving such a data packet generator are also disclosed.
