Gesture-based network configuration

摘要

Embodiments of a gesture-based network configuration system are disclosed, wherein the system is configured to update a configuration setting on a networking device. The system pairs a computing device to the networking device which is operating a local area network (LAN). A first touch gesture indicating a target uniform resource locator (URL) is received on a touch screen of the computing device. In response to the first touch gesture, a configuration message including a command associated with the first touch gesture and the target URL is transmitted to the networking device. In one embodiment, receiving the configuration message causes the networking device to modify the configuration setting based at least partly on the command and the target URL. In one embodiment, modifying the configuration setting modifies the packet processing behavior of the networking device for data packets associated with the LAN.

主权项

1. A method for updating a configuration setting on a network router, the method comprising:
pairing a computing device to a network router over a local area network (LAN), the network router being configured to store configuration settings identifying uniform resource locators (URLs) that are blocked by the network router; displaying web content associated with a first URL on a touch screen of the computing device using a web browser application; receiving a first touch gesture on the touch screen at least partially over the displayed web content; and in response to receiving the first touch gesture:
automatically generating a configuration message directing the network router to modify the configuration settings to block the target first URL; andtransmitting the configuration message to the network router over the LAN.
