Publication number: 20210385141Abstract: Techniques are described for determining connectivity to a network device to optimize performance for controlling operation of one or more network devices. A computing device may determine connectivity to a network device to send a request for information to the network device. The computing device can determine whether it has access to a network (e.g., a wireless network), which includes the network device. The computing device may determine whether it has authorization to communicate with the network device on the network. Authorization may be based on the registration of the network device to communicate with the computing device. When the computing device can access the network and when the computing is authorized to communicate with the network device, communication (e.g., a request) may occur using the network or by direct transmission to the network device. Otherwise, the computing device may communicate with the network device using a remote network.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2021Publication date: December 9, 2021Applicant: Belkin International, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Yong Kim, Venkata Subba Rao Pathuri, Gursharan Sidhu
