A system which in some embodiments comprises a wireless smart device assembly that includes a smart device, wherein the smart device assembly is attachable or mountable against an unopened surface of a wall or other structure. In some embodiments, a system comprises a smart device assembly that includes a smart device; and a fastener that includes adhesive and is coupled to the smart device assembly and releasably attachable to a wall or other structure. Some embodiments include a level indicator configured to indicate the angular position or orientation of one or more other portion of the smart device assembly relative to parallel and/or plumb to the force of gravity. In some embodiments, a mount and/or a cover define a catch to releasably attach the cover to the mount.

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for triggering resource channel mapping for dynamic authentication. The present invention is configured to receive, from a user input device, a request from a user to access resources via a first resource channel; retrieve information associated with the user; query a resource channel repository using the information associated with the user; retrieve, from the resource channel repository, information associated with a second resource channel based on at least the query, wherein the second resource channel is associated with the user; in response, automatically trigger a resource channel mapping engine; map, using the resource channel mapping engine, the second resource channel and the first resource channel; and in response, authorize the request to access the resources via the first resource channel.

The disclosed embodiments relate generally to efficient data encoding and transmission. An encoding system determines an encoding interval at which to encode different groups of related data in a data structure. The encoding interval for each group encoded together optimizes the amount of newly received information that is encoded and transmitted in a continuous, repeating loop.

Devices, systems, and methods of wirelessly controlling appliances and electronic devices, such as ceiling fans, air conditioners, garage doors, or the like. A receive-only garage door system is wirelessly controlled by a proprietary remote control unit. A cloning unit is able to clone or duplicate the proprietary wireless signal, and to replay it or re-generate it in response to a triggering command that a user submitted via a smartphone or tablet; thereby enabling to control such garage door system via mobile electronic devices. The cloning unit utilizes recording of the wireless signal payload and carrier frequency; wireless signal analysis; image analysis of the appliance or of the remote control unit; queries to a remote server to obtain properties of the proprietary wireless signal; or other techniques of signal analysis or duplication.

A solution is provided that significantly reduces the complexity of existing solutions for creating interfaces in a computer system. More particularly, a middleware common to such solutions is removed and a low-level approach is taken where customer-specific logic is processed on an Extensible Stylesheet Language transformation (XSLT) processor instead. Additional transformations may also then be imported from external XSLT editors making it very easy to generate a backend configuration for interfaces.

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for autonomous firewall rule management, for use with cloud computing environments or other types of network environments. A firewall rule management automation framework provides rule management for firewalls deployed across availability domains. The system is adapted to automatically determine firewalls that can receive network traffic from a given source subnet or destination subnet; configure the firewalls with required firewall rules; monitor the firewall rules through collection of metrics snapshots and rule hit counts; and purge underused or potentially obsolete firewall rules, for example those having zero hits over a particular period of time or number of snapshots. The system provide generic support for different types of firewall devices, and autonomous management of firewall rules within large heterogeneous computer networks that may include several types of firewalls.

Systems and methods are provided for initiation, use, access, and control of functionality of a network. In one aspect, the systems and methods can be utilized to generate information defining signaling or control performance and operational characteristics associated with the functionality in a variety of network environments. In another aspect, based on such information, adaptive signaling can be utilized to monitor, analyze and detect specific signaling signatures associated with the functionality. Managing signaling or control messages in response to information collected by monitoring and analyzing the adaptive signaling permits originating or requesting the functionality without conventional operation of a network component.

Various communication systems may benefit from handling of various connection states. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from a hybrid release that may enable any access management function to process a user equipment transaction. A method can include determining, by an access management function, whether to remain a serving node for a user equipment. The method can include taking an action with respect to an NG2 association for the user equipment based on the determination.
