Abstract:
A method for communicating to a host information during an existing networking session. The method comprises the steps of establishing computer network access to a users host through a gateway interface, creating information and control console packets at the gateway interface, sending the information and control console packets to the users host, and generating an information and control console on the monitor of the users host that comprises data. The data will typically comprise user-specific data based upon a users profile, the chosen billing scheme, the chosen service level or the location from which the user desires access. The gateway interface is capable of transparently connecting the user/subscriber to multiple networks without the need to reconfigure the users host computer. The information and control console allows the gateway administrator to provide information to the user/subscriber. The information and control console may include information relating to marketing, advertising, services offered and network session monitoring parameters and the like.
System And Method For Network Access Without Reconfiguration
A system and method for providing connectivity to a foreign network for a device configured for communication over a home network without reconfiguring the device include intercepting packets transmitted by the device, selectively modifying intercepted packets which are incompatible with the foreign network to be compatible with network settings of the foreign network, and selectively providing network services for the device corresponding to network services available on the home network to reduce the delay associated with accessing the network services from the foreign network, or to provide network services otherwise inaccessible from the foreign network. Network services are provided by or through a configuration adapter connected to the device or to the foreign network. The configuration adapter accommodates incompatibilities resulting from proxy server requests, domain name server requests, and/or outgoing email service requests to provide transparent network access for mobile users without reconfiguration of the users computing device.
