  • Determination and application of click quality
    Patent number: 10235677
    Abstract: Rating a network interaction is disclosed. A rating system includes an interface for receiving, a rating determiner and an interface for providing. The interface for receiving receives one or more data regarding a new incoming network interaction originated from a third party device over a network. The rating determiner determines a rating of the network interaction based at least in part on the one or more data regarding the network interaction. The interface for providing provides the rating of the network interaction.

  • Data transfer for network interaction fraudulence detection
    Patent number: 10193908
    Abstract: A method for analyzing network interaction data is disclosed. Initially, network interaction data is received from a network over time. A predetermined model comprising predetermined values associated with network interaction parameters is also received. The received network interaction data is processed to determine the network interaction parameters and information regarding the network interaction data. A score for the network interaction data is calculated based on the predetermined model and the determined network interaction parameters. The score is compared to a threshold. The information regarding the network interaction data is then forwarded based on the comparison of the score to the threshold.

  • Data transfer for network interaction fraudulence detection
    Patent number: 9729563
    Abstract: Transferring metadata is disclosed. Information about a network interaction is processed to generate metadata describing the network interaction. Based on the metadata it is determined whether the metadata is to be transferred to an aggregator. In the event that the metadata is to be transferred, one or more aggregators are determined to which the metadata is to be transferred. The metadata is transferred to the one or more aggregators.

  • Network interaction monitoring appliance
    Patent number: 9412111
    Abstract: An appliance for analyzing a network interaction is disclosed. The appliance includes an input to monitor network traffic that includes a network interaction without interfering with the network traffic. The appliance further includes a processor to analyze network traffic to derive information about the network interaction wherein the information about the network interaction is used to distinguish whether the network interaction is a qualified network interaction with a user.
