Abstract: A device receives user information associated with users of user devices of a network, and receives marketing information associated with advertisements for products and/or services. The device creates user profiles, associated with the users, based on the user information, and groups the user profiles, based on the user information, to create a user segment. The device receives third party user information relating to third party users associated with third party user devices of a third party network, and associates the third party user information with the user segment. The device identifies, based on the association, a target user segment that includes a particular user associated with a particular user device. The device determines an advertisement based on a user profile associated with the particular user and based on the marketing information, and causes the advertisement to be provided to the particular user device, via the service provider network.

Abstract: A system for monitoring information real-time through a network. The system has a plurality of network elements Each of the network elements comprises an interface device. The plurality of network elements are configured to route a call from a source to a destination through the network elements. A mediator is coupled to each of the network elements. The mediator is adapted to receive events from any one of the network elements as the call as being routed through the elements from the source to the destination. A message bus is coupled to the mediator for receiving the events. The system also has an application process coupled to the messaging bus. The application process is adapted to use the events. The system is fault tolerant and information under process is not lost even when one of the system components fails.

Abstract: A system for monitoring information real-time through a network, e.g., telephone, IP network, voice over IP network, VoATM, and _VoDSL network. The system has a plurality of network elements (e.g., router, switch, _Media Gateway, Softswitch, _Integrated Access Device), where each of the network elements is coupled together in a network. Each of the network elements comprises an interface device. The plurality of network elements are configured to route a call from asource to a destination through the network elements. A mediator is coupled to each of the network elements. The mediator is adapted to receive events from any one of the network elements as the call as being routed through the elements from the source to the destination. A message bus is coupled to the mediator for receiving the events. The system also has an application process coupled to the messaging bus. The application process is adapted to use the events.
