  • Publication number: 20240007433
    Abstract: A system provides for event-driven redirection of IP service flows and receives an add event that triggers revectoring of all network traffic that use an Internet gateway that directs all network traffic to unfettered Internet access; provides a new lease for a specified address; transmits, to the Internet gateway, new instructions; the Internet gateway redirects all network traffic originating from the Internet gateway to a specified destination corresponding to an advertisement content server that presents a predetermined amount of advertisement content; receives a remove event corresponding to the specified address; provides a new lease for the specified address; and transmits second new instructions corresponding to values existing prior to the redirection of all network traffic to the specified destination, thereby directing all of the network traffic originating from the Internet gateway back to unfettered Internet access.

  • Patent number: 11805095
    Abstract: A system provides for event-driven redirection of IP service flows and receives, by a DHCP server, an add event corresponding to a specified MAC address; provides a new DHCP lease for the specified address; transmits, by the DHCP server and to an Internet gateway, new instructions comprising one or more of a new IP address, subnet mask, and specified DNS servers; and, through DNS services and routing, redirects all network traffic originating from the Internet gateway to a specified destination. Some embodiments receive a remove event corresponding to the specified address; provide a second new DHCP lease for the specified address; transmit to an Internet gateway, second new instructions comprising one or more of a second new IP address, second subnet mask, and second specified DNS servers; and, through DNS services and routing, direct all network traffic originating from the Internet gateway back to unfettered, but monitored, Internet access.

  • Patent number: 11165878
    Abstract: Embodiments for automated content delivery to high-speed data service client using redirection of IP service flows independent of physical media delivery mechanisms add, by a backend environment, an Internet gateway media access control (MAC) address to a content triggered service; send, by the backend environment, a request to a re-direct system for the Internet gateway MAC address to be added to a re-direct list; route, by the backend environment, all Internet traffic to the content playback system; display, by the content playback system, content to a subscribing user until a quota is achieved; and instruct the re-direct system to remove the Internet gateway MAC address from the re-direct list, thereby enabling user devices operatively coupled to the Internet gateway unfettered, monitored Internet access; set a usage threshold; and, in response to the usage threshold expiring, instruct the re-direct system to add the Internet gateway MAC address to the re-direct list.
