Abstract: A method for identification of malicious activity based on analysis of a travel path of a mobile device through multiple geographic areas includes receiving at least three location data associated with the mobile communication device, the first location data comprising indication of the geographic area of the mobile subscriber and a receipt timestamp; determining the actual travel time of the mobile subscriber from the first geographic area and the third geographic area based on a difference between timestamps of the first location data and the third location data; determining a minimum transition time for the subscriber of the mobile device to move from the first geographic area to the third geographic area; and identifying a malicious activity based on comparison of the actual travel time and the minimum transition time wherein actual travel time is less than minimum transition time between the first geographic area and the third geographic area.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for detecting message drift within registered message campaigns to ensure compliance with predefined use case parameters. Utilizing a messaging compliance registry (MCR), the system downloads campaign data and employs control vectors derived from sample texts, representing intended communications within specific use cases. These vectors enable real-time comparison of incoming messages against expected messaging, employing methods such as cosine similarity measures and various vectorization models. If an incoming message's vector significantly deviates from the established threshold, indicating message drift, the system can delay, quarantine, or tag the message, while notifying the MCR. The process ensures that messages adhere to their registered campaign's guidelines, enhancing regulatory compliance and content integrity across messaging platforms.

Abstract: Described is a travel-based geo-paired information system. The system includes a server having a memory storing geo-paired information that includes content regarding or related to a point of interest. The system also includes a user computing device coupled to the server. The server may be programmed to receive location information from the user computing device. The server may also be programmed to automatically process the location information and determine whether a location of the user computing device is within a predetermined distance from a point of interest geolocation. Then the server may automatically find and retrieve geo-paired information corresponding to or paired to the point of interest geolocation and automatically deliver to the user computing device, for presenting, the content related to the point of interest corresponding to the location of the user computing device.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamically negotiating a service legal agreement (SLA) between a roaming device and a visited network (VN) in an identity federation. An identity profile provided to a user device by an identity provider (IDP) is accessed by the user device. The identity profile includes a first SLA criteria. An advertisement from the VN indicating one or more SLAs supported by the VN is received at the user device. The advertisement is received before the user device has associated with the VN. The IDP and the VN are part of a same identity federation. It is determined that the SLA supported by the VN satisfies the first SLA criteria. Upon that determination, an acceptance is transmitted by the user device to the VN, and the user device is associated with the VN.

Abstract: A method performed by a mobile wireless device may comprise receiving an SMS message or an EMS message indicating a client program, when a phone number associated with the mobile wireless device is not associated with a subscriber of a service associated with the client program at the time of receiving the SMS message. The method may further comprise downloading the client program on the mobile wireless device and authenticating, via the client program, the phone number associated with the mobile wireless device to the service via SMS protocol. After the authenticating, the client program may cause transmission of first information comprising a first phone number. The client program may receive a first response to the transmission of the first information indicating that the first phone number is associated with a subscriber of the service.

Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a wireless data service to a wireless User Equipment (UE). In the wireless communication network, a network controller receives a service request from a wireless UE and transfers a UE context request to a Unified Data Management (UDM). The UDM retrieves a subscriber profile for the wireless UE. The UDM identifies a wireless service type for the wireless UE and identifies a set of virtual Data Network Names (vDNNs) in the subscriber profile. The UDM selects one of the vDNNs for the wireless UE based on the wireless service type of the wireless UE. The UDM indicates the selected one of the vDNNs to the network controller. The network controller overrides provisioned DNN values using the selected one of the vDNNs. The network controller establishes a wireless data session for the wireless UE based on the selected one of the vDNNs.

Abstract: A wireless communication network serves User Equipment (UEs) over a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Network Exposure Function (NEF). The wireless communication network comprises a non-3GPP Interworking Function (IWF) and the 3GPP NEF. The non-3GPP IWF receives NEF Application Programming Interface (API) calls that have UE data from the UEs over non-3GPP access nodes. The non-3GPP IWF transfers the NEF API calls that have the UE data to the 3GPP NEF. The 3GPP NEF receives the NEF API calls that have the UE data from the non-3GPP IWF. The 3GPP NEF exposes the UE data to an Application Functions (AF) in response to the NEF API calls.

Abstract: A computer that dynamically generates a customized second document is described. During operation, the computer receives information specifying activation of a hosted field in a document associated with a third party, where the information specifies a willingness to receive one or more messages from the computer and specifies a telephone number. In response, the computer dynamically generates the customized second document that includes information about one or more transactions (such as one or more upcoming events) of interest to an individual associated with the telephone number. Then, the computer sends a message to an address corresponding to the telephone number, where the message includes a link to the customized second document. Next, when the computer receives information specifying activation of the link from an electronic device, the computer provides information specifying the customized second document to the electronic device for display on the electronic device.
