Abstract: A network monitoring and control application suitable for use by teachers and other users is implemented using wireless access points and does not require specific software to be installed on client network devices. The application uses student and class information to organize network client information. Upon receiving a monitoring request, one or more classes assigned to the teacher are identified by accessing class data. Class data is accessed to identify students assigned to the class and the client network devices used by these students. One wireless access point providing wireless network connections to at least a portion of the students' devices is selected to collect network activity information from the students' devices and presents this information to the teacher. The teacher may also use the selected wireless access point to disable students' network access or to redirect students' devices to a network resource.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns face recognition systems. The aim is to identify candidate matching images to a probe image. There is provided methods, software and computer system to select (22, 24) a method of matching images from two or more methods of matching images based on an underlying resolution (20) of the probe image (8). Comparing two images of differing resolutions is common in surveillance environments. To alleviate this degradation, the method advantageously dynamically selects the most appropriate matching method for a probe image. The disclosure also provided methods to determine the underlying resolution of a probe (8) or gallery image (14).

Abstract: Wireless access points detect neighboring wireless access points in different subnets. Upon connecting with a wireless client, a wireless access point determines predictive roaming information for the wireless client. Predictive roaming information identifies the wireless client; its home network subnet; and includes connection information associated with the wireless client. The wireless access point forwards the predictive roaming information associated with a wireless client to neighboring wireless access points while the wireless client is still connected with the wireless access point. Neighboring wireless access points store received predictive roaming information. Upon connecting with a wireless client, a neighboring wireless access point determines if the wireless client matches the stored predictive roaming information.
