  • System and method for determining a nearest network resource using GPS coordinates
    Patent number: 9460094
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for determining a nearest network resource using GPS coordinates. A GPS enabled computer device may obtain its location by requesting its GPS location. A list of network servers storing the desired data may be obtained by the computer system and the distance between each of the servers and the computer device may be calculated. The system then connects to the resource having the shortest distance without requiring a user to know and decide which server is closest to their location.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING EFFECTIVE POLICY PROFILES IN A CLIENT-SERVER ARCHITECTURE
    Publication number: 20150052223
    Abstract: A system and method for determining effective policy profiles, is presented herein. The system includes one or more client devices configured to initiate a request for at least one effective policy profile, a server mechanism communicatively coupled to the one or more client devices and configured to receive the request for the at least one effective policy profile and determine the at least effective policy profiles for each of the requesting one or more client devices, and a policy data storage component communicatively coupled to the server mechanism and configured to store a plurality of policy profiles. The plurality of plurality of policy profiles includes an association between each of the one or more client devices and one or more of the plurality of policy profiles.
