  • Patent number: 10032186
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes deploying an application to a plurality of client systems associated with a plurality of users, respectively, wherein the application is installed on each of the client systems, and wherein one or more treatments can be remotely activated on the application, receiving, from a first client system associated with a first user of the plurality of users, a request from the application installed on the first client system to access the application server, determining whether the first user belongs in a treatment group associated with a first treatment, remotely activating the first treatment on the first client system associated with the first user if the first user belongs in the treatment group, and synchronizing activation of the first treatment in response to subsequent access by the first client system.

  • Patent number: 9832322
    Abstract: Techniques to transform network resource requests to zero rated network requests are described. Some embodiments are particularly directed to techniques transform network resource requests on a cellular network to zero rating by replacing the destination of the request with a zero-rated source for the network resource. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a data store and a network access component. The data store may be operative to store a plurality of zero-rating rewrite rules. The network access component may be operative to receive a network request from an application component on the mobile device, the network request for access to a network resource; compare the network resource to the plurality of zero-rating rewrite rules to identify a zero-rating rewrite rule matching the network resource; transform the network request to a zero-rated network request for the network resource using the identified zero-rating rewrite rule; and perform the zero-rated network request.

  • Patent number: 9667807
    Abstract: Techniques for dynamic zero-rated server clusters are described. Some embodiments are particularly directed to techniques for delivering zero-rated content packages in which different client devices with different zero-rated content packages may receive their appropriate zero-rated content using a shared cluster of zero-rated servers. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a network access component operative to receive a user request at a network service from a client device via a data network, wherein the network service is rate-adjusted for the client device with the data network; and respond to the user request; and a rate-adjustment management component operative to access a rate-adjustment wallet for a user account for the user request; and configure the network access component to respond to the user request based on the rate-adjustment wallet. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
