Publication number: 20240071593Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Anna Leigh DAVIS, Scott M.

Patent number: 9769035Abstract: Systems and methods for scoring a domain including analyzing counter data and information obtained from a web site associated with the domain. Methods may include receiving requests to resolve the domain at an authoritative domain resolution server. A counter may be incremented for the domain based on the received requests. Information may be obtained from a web page associated with the domain. For example, obtaining information from the web page may include obtaining quantitative, qualitative, and/or functional information from the web page, such as link information, a status of network links corresponding to the link information, and associated ratios. The status of link information may include searching for functional details and/or results, such as, domain redirections, domain errors, mirror content, and commonly linked sites. A score may be calculated for the domain based upon the counter data and the information obtained from the web page associated with the domain.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2014Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: VERISIGN, INC.Inventors: Alexander D. Holmes, Andrew W. Simpson, Karthik Shyamsunder, Srinivas Sunkara, Eyal Lanxner, Nir Zohar, Leonard Orentas, Matt Larson, Mark Kosters, Shevek Mankin, Tamir Kamara

Publication number: 20160261470Abstract: Systems and methods for scoring a domain web traffic based on DNS traffic requests received at an authoritative name server to resolve the domain name. A request to resolve the domain name is received at an authoritative name server. A counter, such as a server counter or a hit counter, for the domain name is incremented based on the received request. A score, such as a domain traffic score or a domain rank, is calculated based upon a count of the counter. Calculating the score may also include applying a weighting factor to the counters based on information about a requesting set of resolvers and other domains/websites that may be linking and driving traffic to the domain whose traffic score is being calculated. Examples of relevant set of resolvers information may include location, traffic levels, traffic type and architecture of the set of resolvers.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2013Publication date: September 8, 2016Applicant: VERISIGN, INC.Inventors: Alexander D. Holmes, Andrew W. Simpson, Karthik Shyamsunder, Srinivas Sunkara, Eyal Lanxner, Nir Zohar, Leonard Orentas, Matt Larson, Mark Kosters, Shevek Mankin, Tamir Kamara

Patent number: 9218334Abstract: Embodiments of the present teachings relate to systems and methods for generating pronounceable domain names. The method includes proving a list of character strings; filtering the list of character strings through a first filter based on a phonetic model to produce a first filtered list of character strings; filtering the list of character strings through a second filter based on a character order mode to produce a second filtered list of character strings; and generating, by a processor, a list of pronounceable domain names based on the first filtered list of character strings and the second filtered list of character strings.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2012Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: VERISIGN, INC.Inventors: Aditya Anand Mugali, Jr., Andrew W. Simpson, Scott King Walker

Publication number: 20150365305Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for selecting a domain name from a plurality of domain names. A set of network traffic data for a plurality of domain names is accessed. A change in network traffic is determined based on the set of network traffic data. The change in network traffic of each of the plurality of domain names is compared with each other. At least one domain name of the plurality of domain names is selected based on the comparing of the change in network traffic of each of the plurality of domain names with each other. An action relating to the domain name of the plurality of domain names that was selected is performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2015Publication date: December 17, 2015Inventors: Galileo Mark Namata, Andrew W. Simpson, Matthew Thomas

Patent number: 9172716Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing domain name system (“DNS”) lookup data perform operations that may include: calculating traffic scores for a network address based on a set of DNS lookup data associated with the network address, where the set of DNS lookup data includes a plurality of query records having one or more queried network addresses; calculating a first variance and a second variance for the network address based on the traffic scores for the network address; and determining a rank of the network address based on the first and second variances.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2012Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: VERISIGN, INCInventors: Aditya Anand Mugali, Jr., Andrew W. Simpson, Scott King Walker

Patent number: 9094467Abstract: A method for determining probability of a domain name registration renewal includes receiving a plurality of inputs associated with the domain name and assigning each of the plurality of inputs to at least one category from among a plurality of categories. The method also includes assigning a weighted value to each of the plurality of categories and calculating the probability of the domain name registration renewal based in part on the weighted value of each category.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2013Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: VERISIGN, INC.Inventors: Andrew W. Simpson, Alexander D. Holmes, Karthik Shyamsunder, Srinivas Sunkara, Leonard Orentas

Patent number: 8527658Abstract: An automated method for determining domain traffic including receiving at authoritative name server a request to resolve a domain name that has n labels separated by periods. The leftmost label is the first label and the top level domain is the nth label. If the first label of the received domain name includes the string “www”, then a www hit counter and/or a www requesting server counter for the domain name are incremented. If the received domain name has only two labels, then an exact hit counter and/or an exact requesting server counter for the domain name are incremented. If the first label of the received domain name does not include the string “www” and does not have only two labels, then another hit counter and/or another requesting server counter for the domain name are incremented. A domain traffic score is calculated based upon a plurality of the counters, and calculating the domain traffic score includes applying a weighting factor to at least one of the counters.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2009Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Verisign, IncInventors: Alexander D.
