A user gains access to a private network by connecting to a network, either through a hardwired or wireless connection, and then initiates an Internet access request targeting any website. If the user is not already authorized for Internet access, then the user is sent to a first predetermined website that points the user to an authentication server accessible via the Internet. The authentication server sends the user an HTTP form pages requesting authentication information. When the user responds, a network monitoring device within the private network alters the form page to include the user's hardware address and an encoded ID based on the network's location. The authentication server forwards this data to a gate keeper server, which authenticates the new user and transmits an unblock message along with another encoded ID based on the network's location and the user's hardware address.

A system for authenticating and / or authorizing users of a service includes one communication interface with an access communication channel and another communication interface with a confirmation communication channel. Requests for a user to access a service are received over the access communication channel, and confirmation codes for the user are received over a trusted confirmation channel, such as an SMS text messaging system. Confirmation codes may be received from the user requesting access to the service or by a third party acting as a gatekeeper to the service. The system tests the validity of received confirmation codes, and enables the user to access the service if a valid confirmation code is received.

A flexible content sharing system may comprise a network based application built on a client device using information from dissociated user experience component (UXC), application logic and execution layer (ALEL), and content distribution system (CDS) payloads. An ALEL engine may communicate a request from the network based application to a CDS module. The CDS module may interface the ALEL engine and a CDS server. The ALEL engine can act as a gate keeper and securely communicates requests from client devices to the CDS server. The CDS server is configured to manage and alert the ALEL of any enterprise policies that may be applicable to the client devices connected to the ALEL engine which, in turn, notifies the client devices to comply with the enterprise policies. The CDS server may synchronize any change made to the content by any of the client devices running network based applications.

An address resolution device includes a gate keeper having an address table with which global addresses, private addresses, and grouping IDs can be registered. During address registration, the gate keeper registers the address of a communication packet into the global addresses, the address assigned to the terminal into the private addresses, and if available, a Grouping ID into grouping IDs. During address notification, the gate keeper consults the address table to notify the caller terminal of the callee terminal private address when the callee terminal and the caller terminal have the same Grouping ID or when they have the same global address. Otherwise, the gate keeper notifies the caller terminal of the callee terminal global address.

In an Internet telephone connection method, a communication bandwidth is managed by using a bandwidth controller, gateway devices and voice relay routers to monitor communication quality under bandwidth reservation. A communication path under bandwidth reservation is preferentially selected by using gate keepers and the voice relay routers, and the connection of the Internet telephone is performed. A problematic device is prohibited from being selected as a connection-destination device at the time of a call setup and the problem restoration is monitored by using the gate keepers and the gateway devices. Further, a device having invalid attribute information is prohibited from being selected as a connection-destination device at the time of call-setup, and the restoration of the attribute information is notified to the overall network. Accordingly, the reservation of the communication bandwidth can be performed under the control of the overall network, fixed communication quality can be maintained and reliability can be enhanced.

When user initiates a call, the gate keeper sends inquiry request to authentication system base on phone number of user. The authentication system decides if the calling number belongs to calling limitation, calling free password or binding calling. If the calling number is calling limitation number, directly clears down line. If calling number doesn't belongs to two kind of numbers above, with IVR function of switching server, prompts user to input password for checking. With the invention user can avoid complex password check process and directly enter calling procedure.

System and method for infectious disease prevention includes transmitting, via a server, a facility credential associated with a facility configured to identify a user operating on an application deployed by server from a mobile computing device. The server receives a user identification test code (UITC) associated with a status of an infectious disease of the user. The server then generates a two-dimensional code associated with the facility credential based on the UITC. The server determines if the two-dimensional code is valid for permitting access to the facility based on the status of the infectious disease. Thereafter, the server activates the two-dimensional code on the mobile computing device for a predetermined period of time. A gatekeeper device responds to the two-dimensional code from the mobile computing device and then permits the user access to the facility within the predetermined period of time based on the facility credential and the two-dimensional code.
