CPC Class H04W

A premises networking device includes hardware components including speakers, microphone, infrared sensor, spectrum analyzer and wireless interfaces. A touch screen display presents a user interface that provides information about network conditions and configuration settings and a menu for setting and changing configuration settings. Different versions of the user interface are displayed based on whether a user is in proximity to the device. The user interface includes shapes representing user devices, the visual characteristics of which change based on the current network conditions. A health score, which is an evaluation of network performance based on measurements of aspects of the conditions of the network, is displayed in real time. A network management system includes a network management platform for storing network conditions and configuration information and pushing the information to premises networking devices. An application programming interface allows third-party applications to send instructions to and access data from various system processes.

Automatically updating electronic devices using a push model. A set of electronic devices may be selected for an update. A first plurality of devices of the set of devices for which the update is valid may be determined in accordance with a set of rules, e.g., safety check rules or business rules, where the determining is based on stored configuration information for each of the devices. Current configuration information and accessibility information may be received for each of the first plurality of devices, and based on the received current configuration information and accessibility information and the stored configuration information, a second plurality of devices of the set of devices for which the update is valid may be determined, where the second plurality is a subset of the first plurality. The update may be applied automatically to at least some of the second plurality of devices.

The present disclosure discloses a method and an apparatus for managing quality of service in a wireless communications system. A radio access network device receives service data through n bearers between a core network device and the radio access network device, where the service data includes a plurality of service flows mapped to the n bearers, and n is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The radio access network device performs flow demapping of the received service data according to a QoS rule, to obtain the plurality of service flows. The radio access network device maps, according to the QoS rule, at least some of the plurality of service flows obtained through the flow demapping to t bearers between the radio access network device and a user equipment for transmission, where t is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

The present haptic device is adapted for sending at least one message. The haptic device comprises a housing, a communication module located inside the housing, a touchpad and a processor. The touchpad is affixed to the housing. The touchpad captures a movement of a user and generates a signal corresponding to the captured movement. The processor is also located inside the housing. The processor receives the signal and instructs the communication module to transmit one of a plurality of stored messages corresponding to the captured movement. The transmitted message includes at least one predetermined recipient address and a message for the recipient.
