Abstract: A scanner device has count buttons. A user can count the number of inventory by pressing the count buttons. Each of the count buttons is assigned a corresponding inventory count. The user can perform a quick and accurate count by pressing count buttons depending on the number of items recognized.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for a media device operating on a first network that can detect and switch media service to a second network to maintain access of a desired service quality. The media device can cause a presentation of the recommended second network, and receive a selection (e.g., user input) of the second network before the switch. The recommendation can be user-initiated or occur while accessing service without user initiation. The recommendation of the second network can be based on: a signal quality of the second network and/or the capabilities of the device providing the second network; a correlation of characteristics that indicate that stored credentials of a first network can be reused in another network; a security level of the first network; and/or platform capabilities of the media device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for optimizing network connections of media devices using IPv6 and DNS tests to detect network issues related to IPv6 addressing and improper DNS server assignments. Upon detection of such network issues, network connections may preemptively adjust IPv6 and DNS configuration parameters to optimize connections for the media devices.

Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to improving path selection within a network having a single service set identifier (SSID), and more particularly, toward a media device selecting an access point from a group of access points on the same SSID based on composite metrics generated for each access point. The composite metrics may be based on network capabilities of the media device and the respective access points in the group of access points.

Abstract: A device may configure a state of a data plane to test the state of the data plane using a set of components. The device may provide a set of packets from a first virtual component of the device to a first port of the device. The first virtual component may include a first virtual representation of a first device. The first virtual component may be included in the set of components. The device may loop back the set of packets at the first port of the device based on providing the set of packets to the first port. The device may perform an action based on the state of the data plane in association with looping back the set of packets at the first port. The device may determine whether a test of the state of the data plane is associated with a pass status or a fail status.

Abstract: The disclosed apparatus may include (1) a storage device that maintains information about mobile devices roaming within a wireless network, (2) an AP-prediction unit that (A) determines, based at least in part on the information maintained in the storage device, a number of times that a mobile device has visited a specific AP within the wireless network, (C) generates, based at least in part on the number of times, a score that represents a probability that the specific AP is the next AP visited by the mobile device, and then (D) determines that the score is above a certain threshold, and (3) a profile-distribution unit that provides, in response to the determination that the score is above the certain threshold, the specific AP with a roaming-session profile that facilitates transferring a roaming session of the mobile device to the specific AP. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
