Abstract
Systems and methods for managing a network are disclosed. One method can comprise causing transmission of a first beacon and a second beacon associated with available networks. After receiving a first request associated with the first beacon, the first request may be suppressed. Thereafter a second request may be received from the user device associated with the second beacon, and access may be provided to a network in response to the second request.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- causing, by a network device, transmission of a first beacon and a second beacon, wherein the first beacon is associated with a public wireless network, and wherein the second beacon is associated with a private wireless network;
- receiving, via the network device, and from a user device, a first request associated with the first beacon;
- suppressing, via the network device, and based on a digital fingerprint including historical time frames during which the user device is in proximity to the private wireless network, the first request such that the user device is caused to transmit a second request associated with the second beacon;
- receiving the second request from the user device;
- and
- providing access to the private wireless network in response to reception of the second request.

A method comprising:
- causing transmission, to a user device, of a first beacon associated with a public wireless network and a second beacon associated with a private wireless network, wherein the transmission of the second beacon is prioritized over the first beacon based on a digital fingerprint including historical time frames during which the user device is in proximity to the private wireless network;
- receiving a request from the user device associated with the second beacon;
- and
- providing access to the private wireless network in response to reception of the request.

A method comprising:
- causing, by a premises network device, transmission of a first beacon and a second beacon, wherein the first beacon is associated with a public wireless network, and wherein the second beacon is associated with a private wireless network;
- receiving, via the premises network device, and from a user device, a request associated with the first beacon;
- transmitting, via the premises network device, and based on at least an identifier associated with the user device and a digital fingerprint including historical time frames during which the user device is in proximity to the private wireless network, a response to the request, wherein the response is associated with the second beacon;
- and
- providing, to the user device, via the premises network device, and based on the response associated with the second beacon, access to the private wireless network.
