Patent number: 9130828Abstract: A custom tracking system can provide functionality for operators of content sites to specify types of content delivery data to be tracked in a content delivery network. The custom tracking system can propagate operator tracking preferences to edge nodes in the content delivery network, such as delivery servers, which can track delivery data according to the preferences. The custom tracking system can use one or more tracking filters to reduce the storage burden of certain tracking requests while still providing relevant results. The custom tracking system can output results of the custom tracking for presentation to the content site operator.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2013Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Highwinds Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Joshua D. Gagliardi, Timothy S. Munger, Donald W. Ploesser, Deborah A. Spencer

Patent number: 9106613Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automatically providing remote self service facilities administration over an Internet protocol (IP) network or over a direct circuit (DC) network. To such ends, a system provides self service use of services of a provider network remotely from the provider network. A remote site kiosk is places in a remote site network with an Internet connection, the remote site kiosk having encryption support via a remote site tunneling endpoint for communications with the Internet and self service applications which communicate through the remote site tunneling endpoint. A data center with an Internet connection to a provider network and to the remote site kiosk, with encryption support via a data center tunneling endpoint to securely receive and forward communications over the Internet between the remote site kiosk and the provider network.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2007Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Jason S. Coleman, Jack Wells Craig, Amit Hathiramani, Theresa Heinz, Deborah A. Spencer, Rafael Tiles

Patent number: 7275071Abstract: The present invention is suitable for use in a communications system that downloads applications over a broadcast file system (BFS). An application services interface (ASI) provides the BFS an application file including a configuration file and an image file that are stored in a service manager in set-tops. Additionally, the ASI provides the BFS a content file that is included in the application file. The provided content file is separated into service files, where each service file is associated with a particular service. When a set-top requests a service, the associated service file is subsequently loaded onto the set-top. Alternatively, a service file is stored in memory until such time as another service is requested, which at that point the older service file is removed from memory to allow space for the newly requested service file.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2004Date of Patent: September 25, 2007Assignee: Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey S. Weyrich, Nitin K. Gupta, Rahul Gupta, Thomas R. Heagy, Jr., David Lutz, Aaron Lynch, Anthony Owens, Howard B. Soloway, Deborah A. Spencer, John DeBoard, Ching F. Wong, Yimin Zhang
