  • Publication number: 20170300643
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and machine readable media for implementing a service for facilitating user engagement and behavior to improve health outcomes. In many populations associated with a shared health insurance plan or Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), members may become less healthy over time, or may remain at a suboptimal state of health. Individual members and the population as a whole may be nudged toward improved health outcomes with various types of interventions. Described herein are embodiments of systems and methods for associating appropriate interventions with populations who are likely to benefit from them, resulting in improved health outcomes for the group.

  • Publication number: 20130276060
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for fallback operation within WLANs that rely on remote authentication procedures. When a primary network node authentication process fails, fallback access control parameters associated with a secondary network node authentication process are exchanged between a network node and an authentication server, wherein the secondary network node authentication process allows the network node to access other resources of a computer network.

  • Patent number: 7761710
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided. In use, a peer-to-peer wireless network is advertised utilizing a granting node. Further, a requesting node is provided for connecting to the peer-to-peer wireless network. Thereafter, such requesting node is redirected to a portal. To this end, a software application is capable of being downloaded to the requesting node via the peer-to-peer wireless network utilizing the portal.

  • Patent number: 7757274
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided. In use, a first key is exchanged between a granting node and a requesting node via a peer-to-peer wireless network. Further, a human-perceptible hash is generated at the granting node and the requesting node, utilizing the first key. Such human-perceptible hashes are then compared via an out-of-band communication channel. To this end, a second key may then be transmitted to the requesting node for providing access to a centrally-based wireless network.

  • Patent number: 7421266
    Abstract: An access point to be installed in a wireless network is automatically discovered and associated with an authentication center adapted to provide remote authentication services for the wireless network. This may be accomplished by executing an address resolution protocol scan of nodes on the wireless network and identifying from the scan results the access point to be installed. Configuration information regarding the access point is then transmitted to the authentication center and the access point is configured to use the authentication center for 802.1x authentication services for the wireless network.
