Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: by a cloud client device, prompting a user for a cloud client device password; by the cloud client device, receiving the cloud client device password as one or more first tones, wherein each character of the cloud client device password is represented by two or more first tones, and wherein at least one of the one or more first tones is not audible by the human ear; by the cloud client device, translating the one or more first tones, wherein at least a first one of the one or more first tones falls within a first predetermined range of tones, and wherein at least a second one of the one or more first tones falls within a second predetermined range of tones; by the cloud client device, determining whether the translated one or more first tones match a first password, wherein the first password is associated with the cloud client device; by the cloud client device, allowing access to the cloud client device based, at least in part, on the translated first tones matching the first password; by the cloud client device, allowing access to at least one of one or more cloud services and at least one of one or more cloud applications based, at least in part, on a profile associated with the user and a cloud client device profile associated with the cloud client device, wherein the cloud client device profile comprises at least one or more settings, and wherein the one or more settings comprise at least one of associated user, security, authentication, quality of service, access, and encryption; by the cloud client device, receiving a network selection; by the cloud client device, transmitting a password for access to the selected network as a series of tones; by the cloud client device, receiving one or more control inputs from a client device such that the cloud client device is controlled by the client device; by the cloud client device, constructing dynamically a virtual set of sensors, wherein the virtual set of sensors are associated with one or more devices, and wherein the constructing comprises pairing the one or more devices by constructing a model of available devices; and by the cloud client device, providing one or more updates on status of the access.
