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.
Claims38
A device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
- cause transmission of a first beacon associated with a public wireless network and a second beacon associated with a private wireless network;
- receive, from a user device, a first request associated with the first beacon;
- suppress, based on a characteristic associated with the user device, the first request such that the user device is caused to transmit a second request associated with the second beacon;
- receive, from the user device, a second request associated with the second beacon;
- and
- provide, based on the second request, access to the private wireless network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:
- causing transmission of a first beacon associated with a public wireless network and a second beacon associated with a private wireless network;
- receiving, from a user device, a first request associated with the first beacon;
- suppressing, based on a characteristic associated with the user device, the first request such that the user device is caused to transmit a second request associated with the second beacon;
- receiving, from the user device, a second request associated with the second beacon;
- and
- providing, based on the second request, access to the private wireless network.
3 more elements
A device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
- cause transmission 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 has an increased rate relative to the transmission of the first beacon when the user device is in proximity to the private wireless network;
- receive, from a user device, a request associated with the second beacon;
- and
- provide, based on the request, access to the private wireless network.

A device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
- cause transmission of a first beacon associated with a public wireless network and a second beacon associated with a private wireless network;
- receive, from a user device, a request associated with the first beacon;
- transmit, to the user device and based on a characteristic associated with the user device, a response to the request, wherein the response is associated with the second beacon;
- and
- provide, based on the response associated with the second beacon, access to the private wireless network.
