  • Patent number: 9973340
    Abstract: A device associated with a cell tower in a Public Land Mobile Network receives, from a mobile device via a network, a uniform resource locator (URL) that is appended with a first signature generated at the mobile device using a private key of a public/private key pair associated with a toll-free campaign. The device obtains a public key of the public/private key pair, extracts the first signature from the URL, decrypts the first signature using the public key to obtain data, and encrypts the data using the private key to generate a second signature. The device compares the second signature with the first signature, denies toll-free network access to content associated with the URL when the second signature does not match the first signature, and designates data involved with accessing the content associated with the URL as being toll-free when the second signature matches the first signature.

  • Patent number: 9965776
    Abstract: A method and system relate to receiving first comments, associated with first digital content, that are submitted by a first user, and determining an opinion of the first user with respect to the first digital content based on the one or more first comments. Determining the opinion of the first user with respect to the first digital content includes parsing the one or more first comments to determine a term included in the one or more first comments, and determining the opinion based on the term. The first user is clustered with second users who share the first users opinion regarding the first digital content. Second digital content, liked by at least one of the second users and have accessed by the first user, are identified, and a recommendation identifying the second digital content is presented for display to the first user.

  • Patent number: 9876877
    Abstract: A device intercepts a request that includes a network address or a universal resource locator (URL) for a landing page and determines whether special handling is applicable when forwarding the landing page to the requesting device. When the special handling is applicable, the request is automatically redirected to a validation device, which determines whether the requesting device is eligible for the special handling. The validation device signs based on the determination and returns the signed request to the requesting device. The requesting device forwards the signed request to request the landing page and the special handling is selectively applied based on the signed request.

  • Patent number: 9842148
    Abstract: Herein is described a data placement scheme for a distributed query processing systems that achieves load balance amongst the nodes of the system. To identify a node on which to place particular data, a supervisor node performs a placement algorithm over the particular data's identifier, where the placement algorithm utilizes two or more hash functions. The supervisor node runs the placement algorithm until a destination node is identified that is available to store the data, or the supervisor node has run the placement algorithm an established number of times. If no available node is identified using the placement algorithm, then an available destination node is identified for the particular data and information identifying the data and the selected destination node is included in an exception map. Most data may be located by any node in the system based on the node performing the placement algorithm for the required data.

  • Publication number: 20170353609
    Abstract: A device determines a connection status of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) communication interface and a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) communication interface, and stores the connection status in a queue. The device waits, subsequent to storing the connection status, for expiration of a time delay; and retrieves, subsequent to the expiration of the time delay, the connection status or another connection status from the queue. The device sends, based on the retrieved connection status or the other connection status, a service validation request to a server associated with the PLMN, and receives from the server, in response to the service validation request, a validation response that authorizes service delivery to the device via a PLMN.

  • Publication number: 20170293658
    Abstract: Techniques are described for executing an analytical query with a top-N clause. In an embodiment, a stream of tuples are received by each of the processing units from a data source identified in the query. The processing unit uses a portion of a received tuple to identify the partition that the tuple is assigned to. For each partition, the processing unit maintains a top-N data store that stores an N number of received tuples that match the criteria of top N tuples according to the query. The received tuple is compared to the N number of tuples to determine whether to store the received tuple and discard an already stored tuple, or to discard the received tuple. After all the tuples have been similarly processed by the processing units, all the top-N data stores for each partition are merged, yielding the top N number of tuples for each partition to return as a result of the query.

  • Publication number: 20170279912
    Abstract: A device intercepts a request from a requesting device, and the request includes a network address or a universal resource locator (URL) for content. The device determines whether special handling is applicable when forwarding the content to the requesting device. The device establishes a session between the content device and the requesting device, and the session exchanges data via a pathway that includes a proxy. The proxy identifies data, including the requested content, exchanged in the session and determines whether the special handling was used when forwarding the data. The proxy forwards reporting data identifying the exchanged data and indicating whether the special handling was used when exchanging the data through the session.
