Patent number: 8671184Abstract: A tool for managing a computer network includes a gateway service module that identifies a gateway for a network and a network information service module. The network information service module identifies devices in the network, determines at least one property for each of the identified devices, and creates a network information data structure for storing device properties. A communication agent service module transmits at least one determined device property to other agent service modules associated with the network, receives at least one device property from another agent service module associated with the network, and provides the received at least one property device to the network information service module. A method of monitoring a computer network is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2011Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Pure Networks LLCInventors: Steven M. Bush, Thomas C. Butcher, Matthew Tebbs, Justin Ferrari, Brett Marl, Ron Gery, Kristin Acker, Joshua Hinds

Patent number: 8316438Abstract: Network management to establish and maintain the health and security of a computing network, such as a home network. A network management tool may identify the media access control (MAC) address for each device in the network, and allow a user to identify which devices are authorized to be a member of the network. If the network gateway device supports MAC address filtering, a user can then employ the network management tool to configure the router to exclude non-authorized devices from joining or remaining in the network based upon their MAC addresses. Further, the network management tool may allow a user to configure a wireless gateway device to stop broadcasting its service set identifier (SSID), change the SSID, or both, identify to the user when a wireless gateway device is using encryption, and, if so, what type of encryption.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2007Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Pure Networks LLCInventors: Steve Bush, Steve Mooney, Xin Liu, John Mevissen, Josh J Hinds, Ron Gery, Brett Marl, Matthew Tebbs

Publication number: 20050190203Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for enabling application program compatibility with display devices having an increased pixel density. According to one method, a call including one or more parameters is directed toward an application programming interface for performing a screen input or output function is received from an application program. In response to receiving the call, a determination is made as to whether the application program is configured for use with a display device having a lower pixel density or a display device having a higher pixel density. In response to determining that the application program is configured for use with a display device having a lower pixel density, the parameters are scaled for the higher pixel density display device and the application programming interface is called using the scaled parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2004Publication date: September 1, 2005Inventors: Ron Gery, Jason Fuller, Zeke Koch, Chee Chew, Keith Bentley
