Patent number: 12216797Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing personal data on a client computer, in which personal data associated with the client computer is identified by a policy management module. An analysis may be performed for the client computer by a server using fake personal data. To identify applications which may attempt to access the personal data, the fake personal data is tracked for access on the client computer. A policy is then created that disallows access of the personal data by any applications identified by the analysis of the client computer as accessing the fake personal data. The policy is then assigned to the client computer.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2024Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: Lookout, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Micheal Wyatt, Kevin Patrick Mahaffey, David Luke Richardson, Brian James Buck, Marc William Rogers

Patent number: 12052385Abstract: A network services provider delivers bandwidth services to users in relation to a dynamic limit based on an average user consumption, rather than a fixed amount per subscriber. An average user consumption is employed to compute a consumption limit from relative portions of a user community substantially exceed the average, typically defined as “heavy users.” Usage levels below the consumption limit have an increased availability up to the consumption limit. The consumption limit may vary from a total capacity of the service infrastructure, which changes, generally in an increasing manner, as additional resources are added to the network. The consumption limits may be defined over different service intervals, such as daily, weekly or monthly, and for different groups of users depending on network layout.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2022Date of Patent: July 30, 2024Assignee: Charter Communications Operating, LLCInventors: Lukasz Stepniowski, Daniel P R Mattox, Andrzej Jakubowski
