Abstract: In a computer network, network-connected devices generate and encode diagnostic information using an orthogonal code specific to each of the network-connected devices. In some implementations, the orthogonal code is a Walsh Code, a Walsh-Hadamard code, or a prime number. The encoded diagnostic information is transmitted to a router. The router aggregates and combines the encoded diagnostic information into a combined diagnostic value. Additional diagnostic information may be generated, encoded, and added to the combined diagnostic value by the router. The combined diagnostic value may be transmitted to additional upstream routers where additional diagnostic information is encoded and multiplexed into the combined diagnostic value.

Abstract: A user's user device includes a messaging module that allows the user to communicate with its contacts through a messaging system. The messaging module also allows the user to access a status interface that includes a feed with multiple status items. Each status item indicates current information associated with a contact of the user. The status items are received by the messaging module from the messaging system. The messaging system creates the status items based on device information automatically provided to the system by user devices. One or more of the status items received by the messaging module are customized by the module after they are received from the messaging system and before they are presented to the user in the status interface. The status items are customized based information associated with the user.

Abstract: A method for detecting a fraudulent attempt to activate a new PIN, SIM Card or mobile device includes monitoring, at a first processing node associated with a network interconnecting a first network point and a second network point, a mirrored live-data flow of a live data flow passing through the first processing node in a non-intrusive manner that does not affect the first live-data flow passing through the first processing node. The live-data flow comprises data that is in active transmission between the first network point and the second network point and prior to storage of the data in a database. The first processing node detects that a transaction within the monitored live-data flow relates to an activation of the new PIN, SIM card or mobile device and compares the detected transaction to a list of known fraud situations stored in the first processing node to determine if the detected transaction relates to a known fraud situation.
