Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for detection and classification of stamps in documents. The system can receive image data and textual data of a document. The system can pre-process and filter that data, and covert the textual data to a term frequency inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) vector. The system can detect the presence of a stamp on the document. The system can extract a subset of the image data including the stamp. The system can extract text from the subset of the image data. The system can classify the stamp using the extracted text, the image data, and the TF-IDF vector. The system can store the classification in a database.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software of managing bandwidth allocated to User Equipment (UE). In one embodiment, a bandwidth management system collects cell load information for a plurality of cells within a Radio Access Network (RAN), and processes the cell load information to determine a cell load status for each of the cells. The system performs bandwidth throttling for the UE by determining a location of the UE, identifying the cell load status for one or more cells in a region of the RAN corresponding with the location of the UE, determining whether the region of the RAN is overloaded based on the cell load status, and controlling a downgrade of bandwidth allocated to the UE in the RAN responsive to a determination that the region is overloaded.

Abstract: A method for managing a Sponsored Data Plan (SDP) is provided in a mobile telecommunications network. The method includes: receiving a first request for an initial charging policy report in response to a detection of a user's data session with an Application Server (AS) (14) of a content provider; sending, in response to the first request, the requested initial charging policy report toward a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) (16) such that the PCRF (16) selects a first Policy Charging Control Rule (PCC-Rule) in accordance with the report for enforcement at a Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF); receiving a second request to perform an online subscription of the user to the SDP; and sending, in response to the second request, information about the SDP toward the PCRF (16) such that the PCRF (16) selects a second PCC-Rule in accordance with the information for enforcement at the PCEF.

Abstract: A system and method for accounting request processing in a communication network. When an accounting request is received in a correlating network element from a service-monitoring element, it is stored unless and until the associated service has been completed. When a final accounting request associated with the service has been received, a processing track is determined; one of two or more preferably each associated with a different processing rate. Once a processing track has been assigned, each ACR is placed in a queue for processing; there are multiple queues, each associated with one or more processing tracks. In a preferred embodiment, the backlog of a queue, or of multiple queues, is considered when queuing an ACR. The backlog may be monitored and ACRs may be reassigned to a different queue, or the processing rate of a queue may be adjusted, so that ACRs may be processed at a higher (or lower) rate.
