Patent number: 11900419Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting and correlating content consumption, e.g., viewing of programs and/or accessing websites, across platforms of different types are described. Content consumption, e.g., requests and/or streaming is monitored and recorded on a per subscriber basis for a wide variety of platforms, e.g., set boxes, IP content playback devices such as cell phones or pad devices with IP streaming support, and/or other devices. Web site access and corresponding content consumption is determined based on DNS requests thereby avoiding the need for monitoring at web site servers and allowing centralized monitoring of web site access operations in the form of DNS requests to be detected by a Web service provider who, at least in some embodiments, is also a content provider.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2020Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: TIME WARNER CABLE ENTERPRISES LLCInventors: Chris Roosenraad, Ethan Lawrence Wolf, Craig Engel, Justin Tidwell

Patent number: 9432318Abstract: Traffic is obtained from a plurality of internet protocol version six addresses within a plurality of internet protocol version six blocks; and a first indication of inappropriate traffic is obtained from a first one of the addresses. Responsive to the first indication of inappropriate traffic, a reputation score for a first given one of the blocks, containing the first one of addresses, is incremented by a first predetermined amount; and a reputation score for a second given one of the blocks, adjacent the first given one of the blocks, is incremented by a second predetermined amount which is less than the first predetermined amount. Traffic from the plurality of addresses within the plurality of blocks is passed or blocked in accordance with a policy based on the incremented reputation scores for the first and second given ones of the blocks.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2014Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: TIME WARNER CABLE ENTERPRISES LLCInventors: Lee Howard, Chris Roosenraad
