  • Patent number: 11968234
    Abstract: A uniform wireless network service selection information exchange interface system is provided to facilitate a consistent user experience across multiple wireless networks that may have different service plan activation or service plan purchase processes. Network detection of service usage anomalies based on device-based data usage reports is provided to enable the network to determine whether an end-user device is likely operating in accordance with the established policy, or whether the end-user device may be operating fraudulently.

  • Publication number: 20240040405
    Abstract: Wireless offloading provides tools to a service provider to encourage or direct a subscriber to offload from a first network, e.g., a cellular network, to a second network, e.g., a Wi-Fi network. The cellular service provider can use network data to determine wireless offloading priorities for cellular subscribers on an individual or group basis. The cellular service provider may use wireless network data it has and/or wireless network data it learns about networks from the wireless devices (which may obtain Wi-Fi network data from beacon frames of Wi-Fi networks or active scanning and which may report to the cellular service provider). Each wireless device can be given scanning assignments to ensure that the reporting task is shared among subscribers or adjusted to fill in gaps in data. With the network data, the cellular service provider is capable of generating useful prioritized network lists for wireless devices, either individually or as a group.

  • Publication number: 20230345238
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for updating wireless device credentials, the wireless device comprising: a user interface, memory configured to store one or more credentials for enabling the wireless device to obtain one or more services over a wireless access network, and one or more processors configured to execute one or more machine-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to obtain an indication of a user request to replace a particular credential with a target credential, detect a network-provisioning state change, determine that the particular credential does not match the target credential, initiate a programming session with a network element over a wireless access network, obtain an updated credential from the network element, and assist in storing the updated credential in memory.

  • Publication number: 20230205902
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for a content management system. Embodiments operate within or in conjunction with such a content management system. The content management system stores content objects for access by various collaborators, including extra-system collaborators. A user of the content management system configures extra-enterprise shared link URLs that permit the extra-system collaborators to access shared content objects over an Internet connection. A shared link event graph data structure is formed based on access requests over the extra-enterprise shared link URLs. An interactive user interface module is generated by processing a shared link report query over the shared link event graph data structure to select a subject set of the extra-enterprise shared link URLs, and to generate a data set of the interactive user interface module based at least in part on results from the query. A user interacts with the interactive user interface module to generate insights.
