Abstract
A network access device is configured to receive requests for network resources from a client device, generate a natural language message regarding the request, and forward the natural language message to a network administrator using a communication program such as an email program, Instant Massaging (IM) program, or a Short Messaging Service (SMS) program. The network administrator can then respond to the message by generating and sending a natural language message to the network access device. The network access device can then parse the natural language response in order to determine what action to take.
Claims21
In a network comprising a plurality of client devices, a plurality of servers configured to make services and resources available to the plurality of client devices, and a network access device configured to interface the plurality of client devices with the plurality of servers, a method for providing the services and resources to the client devices, comprising the network access device:
- receiving a request for a network resource from one of the plurality of client devices;
- parsing the received request;
- generating a natural language message based on the parsed request;
- and
- sending the natural language message to a network administrator using a communication program.
A network access device, comprising:
- a communication port configured to enable the network access device to communicate with a plurality of client devices and a network administrator;
- a communication program configured to generate and receive messages;
- and
- a natural language processor configured to take a request received from one of the plurality of client devices, parse the request, and generate a natural language message based on the parsed request to be communicated to the network administrator using the communication program.
