Abstract
A device may receive a command from a source device, may receive information that identifies a destination device associated with the command, may receive information that identifies a user associated with the source device, and may determine a network condition of a network associated with the destination device. The device may determine that the user is associated with an available token, where the available token is associated with the user, the command, and the network condition. The device may transmit, to the destination device and based on determining that the user is associated with the available token, the command.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- one or more processors to:
- receive a command from a source device;
- receive information that identifies a destination device associated with the command;
- receive information that identifies a user associated with the source device;
- determine a network condition of a network associated with the destination device;
- determine that the user is associated with an available token of a set of tokens,
- the available token being associated with the user, the command, and the network condition;
- determine that a particular time interval, associated with a command type, has lapsed,
- the command type being associated with the command;
- and
- transmit the command to the destination device based on:
- determining that the user is associated with the available token, and
- determining that the particular time interval has lapsed.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a device, a command from a source device;
- receiving, by the device, information that identifies a destination device associated with the command;
- receiving, by the device, information that identifies a user associated with the source device;
- determining, by the device, a network condition associated with a network to which the destination device is connected;
- determining, by the device, that the user is associated with an available token of one or more tokens,
- the available token being associated with the user, the command, and the network condition;
- determining, by the device, that a particular time interval, associated with a command type, has lapsed,
- the command type being associated with the command;
- and transmitting, by the device, the command to the destination device based on:
- determining that the user is associated with the available token, and
- determining that the particular time interval has lapsed.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive, from a source device, information that identifies a command, a destination device associated with the command, and a user associated with the source device;
- determine a current network condition associated with the destination device;
- determine that the user is associated with an available token, of a set of tokens,
- the available token being associated with the user, the command, and the current network condition;
- determine that a particular time interval, associated with a command type, has lapsed,
- the command type being associated with the command;
- and transmit the command to the destination device based on:
- determining that the user is associated with the available token, and
- determining that the particular time interval has lapsed.
