  • Publication number: 20210152999
    Abstract: A device may receive first data items and second data items that may have been output by sensor devices. The device may add, to a node in a data structure, at least some of the first data items. The device may divide the node to create subnodes that correspond to subregions of a geographic region. The device may add, to at least one of the subnodes, at least some of the second data items. The device may generate a probability of a first relationship, between the first data items and the second data items, based on determining subnodes that include a first data item and determining subnodes that exhibit a predefined second relationship with a second data item. The device may send, to another device, the probability of the first relationship to support location-based services.

  • Patent number: 10893119
    Abstract: A system is configured to receive, by a first server, a request, from a user device, for a first record stored by a cache associated with the first server, determine, a first timestamp associated with the first record, determine that the first record is invalid based on the first timestamp, and determine, based on determining that the first record is invalid, whether the first record is out of date with respect to a corresponding second record stored by a second server by comparing a second timestamp of the first record with a timestamp of the second record. The system is further configured to update the first record with information from the second record to form an updated first record when the first record is out of date, and to send the updated first record to the user device associated with the request.

  • Patent number: 10218698
    Abstract: Attributes of a session, between a source device and a verification device, for sending first verification data, such as a password and an account identifier, are determined. The verification device generates user device data based on an identifier, such as a mobile device number (MDN), for a user device associated with the account identifier. An identifier, such as an MDN, associated with the source device and an encryption key associated with the verification device are determined based on session attributes. Second verification data is generated based on the identifier associated with the source device. The second verification data is encrypted using the encryption key and forwarded to the verification device. The verification device decrypts the second verification data and compares the identifier for the user device to the identifier for the source device to determine whether the first verification data was sent from the user device.

  • Patent number: 10103879
    Abstract: A first device may receive data, to be provided to a second device, and an application identifier. The data and application identifier may be received from a third device. The first device may be associated with a first network, and the second device may be associated with a second network. The first network may be a different network than the second network. The application identifier may be associated with the second device. The first device may determine that the data is destined to the second device based on the application identifier. The first device may cause a secure session to be established with the second device. The secure session may allow the data to be securely transmitted from the third device to the second device. The first device may provide the data to the second device via the secure session.

  • Patent number: 10097546
    Abstract: A device may receive traffic flow information that includes user device identifiers. The device may receive, from a user device accessing an application associated with a third party service, an authentication request to authenticate the user device with a third party device that provides the third party service. The request may include a session token that identifies a session, an application identifier that identifies the application, and a user device identifier that identifies the user device. The device may determine to authenticate the user device based on whether the user device identifier matches one of the user device identifiers included in the traffic flow information. The device may provide, to the third party device, the session token and an indication of whether the user device has been authenticated to permit the third party device to allow or deny access to the third party service.

  • Patent number: 9948506
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide redundant functionality for multi-cloud high availability continuous service provisioning. Service rule configuration of regional internet services platforms at different geographical locations are provisioned through a multi-cloud provisioning platform. The systems and methods provide that there is no disruption of service provisioning, in the event of a failure of one cloud provisioning platform, as long as at least one other cloud provisioning platform is available. In the event of a cloud disaster outage at one cloud provisioning platform, a regional internet services platform will automatically register with another active cloud provisioning platform.
