Abstract: A system providing a system user integrated player-client management services and functions with enhanced communications between a system user and a player-client defined by the system user having a user resource manager (URM) resident on a computing device of a system user. The URM having player-client profiles with player-client parameters that player-client reporting parameters and player-client action triggers. The URM providing player-client profile page displays, transmitting to a remote device a player-client reporting parameter and in response receiving instant player-client data/updates and updating the player-client profile with the instant player-client data. The URM comparing the received instant player-client data with a player-client action trigger detecting in near real time an occurrence of an resource action event and generating an alert action to the computing device providing the system user an indication on the computing device that the resource action event was detected.

Abstract: Wireless network performance may be improved by combined phase and power coordinated scheduling, usage-aware interference mitigation scheduling, estimating interference in a power scheduled network, coordinating transmission power levels using thresholds, and locally generated pseudorandom power schedules.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for effecting an internet user's privacy directive. In the method, copied packets, that are based on original packets sent from a user client, are monitored for a web content request including state information that is not in compliance with a user's privacy directive. Upon detection of a copied packet having a web content request including noncompliant state information, the state information is modified to comply with the user's privacy directive. A replacement packet is forwarded to the user client such that the user client receives the replacement packet before receiving a response packet from a target server of the corresponding original packet. The replacement packet has a redirection with a renewed web content request including the modified state information.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for directing an alternative cascading style sheet object to an internet user client. In the method, a system analyzes an HTTP transaction involving the internet user client to detect a request for an embedded cascading style sheet object. The system responds to the request for the embedded cascading style sheet object by forwarding the alternative cascading style sheet object to the internet user client.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for targeted web content modification. In the method, a network service provider determines whether a web content request from an internet user station is a first-type request or a second-type request. If the web content request is a first-type request, then the first-type web content request is forwarded to the internet. Otherwise, if the web content request is a second-type request, then the second-type web content request is tunneled to a content modification station. The content modification station selectively responds to the tunneled second-type web content request with a redirection including a modified web content request. The internet user client receives modified web content based on the modified web content request.

Abstract: The disclosed invention resides in a system and method for managing and maintaining an internet user's privacy directives without the necessity to rely on one or more cookies to be retained by a user's browser.

Abstract: Disclosed is an internet traffic monitoring method that includes a network service provider analyzing an HTTP transaction involving an internet user client. The network service provider responds to the HTTP transaction by forwarding, to the internet user client, a modified web object including a monitoring implement. After forwarding the modified web object to the internet user client, the network service provider forwards a web object, originally associated with the HTTP transaction, to the internet user client.

Abstract: Disclosed is an internet traffic monitoring method. In the method, a first packet, sent from a user client, having a web content request meeting certain monitoring selection criteria is detected. Upon detection of the first packet, a second packet is forwarded to the user client. The second packet has a redirection with a fabricated web content request to a monitoring web page including at least one monitoring implement.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method, and related apparatus, for directing network service provider selected embedded objects to an internet user client. In the method, a network service provider maintains a database of internet user clients that includes a particular service-type value for each internet user client. The network service provider analyzes an HTTP transaction involving the internet user client. The network service provider responds to an HTTP transaction requesting an embedded web object by forwarding to the internet user client, an alternative embedded web object selected in accordance with the user client's particular service-type value, wherein the alternative embedded web object arrives to the internet user client before a response to the originally requested embedded web object. The network service provider causes the originally requested embedded web object to be forwarded to the internet user client after the alternative embedded web object is forwarded to the internet user client.
