  • Publication number: 20230198984
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies of network service control for remote access to wireless radio networks are provided herein. In an embodiment, a client network can be provided by a network access point that can include a processor that is configured to detect a guest user equipment and determine whether the guest user equipment is a recognized device. In response to determining that the guest user equipment is not a recognized device, the processor can create an identity verification request message that seeks approval from a host device to allow the guest user equipment to access the client network. The processor can provide the identity verification request message to the host device and receive a trigger response message. The processor can create a network access package that provides the guest user equipment with access credentials to access the client network and provide the network access package to the guest user equipment.

  • Publication number: 20230141952
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs for providing third-party password-less access to a secure database. A method can include receiving from a first user device, first data indicative of a request to provide password-less access to a data structure in a secure database, encoding a set of permissions into a data string, the encoded set of permissions including (a) a copy of the access key and (b) one or more filtering parameters, generating an electronic message that includes the data string, providing the electronic message to a second user device, receiving data indicative of a selection of the displayed data string, the received data includes the encoded set of permissions, decoding the received data to obtain the set of permissions, accessing the data structure in the secure database using the obtained set of permissions, and providing, to the second user device, password-less access to the real-time stream of content.

  • Patent number: 9054970
    Abstract: A method and system of measuring performance and capacity of a network includes monitoring network activity using an application programming interfaces (API) monitoring system with a web services definition language (WSDL) file and a probe. The WSDL file provides instructions to a probe control system in the API monitoring system and the probe control system provides regular expressions to the probe. Performance data are collected using the probe. The performance data includes a collection of performance information. Using the probe, performance data are transmitted between the network and the API monitoring system. The API monitoring system stores the performance data in a database of performance data monitored and analyzes the performance data to determine performance and capacity of the network. The API monitoring system reports information on performance and capacity of the network to a network operations center dashboard.

    Abstract: The present invention includes a method of measuring performance and capacity of a network includes monitoring network activity using an application programming interfaces monitoring system with a web services definition language file and at least one probe. The web services definition language file provides instructions to a probe control system in the application programming interfaces monitoring system and the probe control system providing regular expressions to the at least one probe. Then, performance data is collected using the at least one probe. The performance data includes a date stamp and a collection of performance information. Next, using the at least one probe, performance data measurements are transmitted between the network and the application programming interfaces monitoring system.
