Patent number: 9883413Abstract: Network traffic usage information for a set of registered devices is monitored, analyzed, and reported within a cellular service provider portion of a communications network. The network traffic usage information can relate to data traffic, voice traffic, and/or short message service traffic. Reporting the network traffic usage information is customizable such that parameters associated with the network traffic usage can be changed, depending on the parameters that are of current interest to an organization affiliated with the set of registered devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2013Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Cynthia Cama, Jeffrey Erman, Wen-Ling Hsu, Yu Jin, Ann E. Skudlark, Lien K. Tran

Patent number: 9825973Abstract: Websites are monitored for changes over time. A domain name server resolves a domain name to a single internet protocol address and then performs a reverse resolution for the single internet protocol address. When multiple alias records resolve to the same host name, the domain name server determines the single internet protocol address virtually hosts multiple domain names.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Daniel Sheleheda, Edward G. Amoroso, Cynthia Cama, Junlan Feng, Gregory Leibolt, Sanjay Macwan, William O'Hern, Valerie Torres, Yuhong Yu

Publication number: 20110208850Abstract: A disclosed method for implementing anti-tracking measures for a web browser includes refreshing anti-tracking data structure responsive to satisfying at least one of a set of anti-tracking refresh criteria. The anti-tracking data structure may include opt-out cookie data indicative of a set of opt-out cookies, uniform resource locator (URL) anti-tracking data indicative of a set of URLs associated with URL tracking, and Referer header field anti-tracking data indicative of a set of URLs susceptible to Referer header field tracking. Responsive to a web browser of a user device generating a request for a third-party web page specified by a browser URL, at least a portion of the browser URL is compared against the anti-tracking data structure. If a match in the URL anti-tracking data or the Referer header field anti-tracking data is detected, the browser URL may be modified. The refreshing of anti-tracking data may include pulling a current anti-tracking data structure from an anti-tracking server.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2010Publication date: August 25, 2011Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Daniel G.

Publication number: 20110191664Abstract: An anti-tracking server includes a rendering engine for URL tracking and/or an opt-out cookie web crawler. The rendering engine is configured for emulating a browser visiting a plurality of web sites and processing elements of web content in web pages of the visited web sites. Web communication traffic generated as a result of said processing is captured and analyzed to identify URL tracking patterns. A URL tracking database reflecting identified URL tracking patterns is maintained. The opt-out cookie web crawlers are configured for visiting a second plurality of web sites, identifying hyperlinks pertaining to opt-out cookies in the second plurality of web sites, and following the identified hyperlinks to determine definitive uniform resource locators (URLs) for the opt-out cookies. An opt-out cookie database containing the definitive opt-out cookie URLs is maintained.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2010Publication date: August 4, 2011Applicant: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Daniel G.
