Abstract: A method of using customer premises cable modem equipment to generate a signal that can be used for leakage detection. Various signal types are described which are usable for the purposes of leakage detection.

Abstract: Systems and methods improve the actionability of leaks in cable networks. One or more leakage detection confidences (LDCs) are determined to assess the reliability of newer leakage data which conflicts with existing leak records. When confidences fail to exceed predetermined thresholds, records of leaks which failed to be redetected are maintained as actionable and relied upon for the creation of work orders and deployment of technicians to make repairs. Further fail safe conditions may include device health metrics and weather events.

Abstract: Solutions are described for cable operators who desire to more closely manage their cable leakage maintenance and ensure their technicians are properly fixing leakage that has been assigned to them via work orders. Quality control leakage measurements are recorded after the completion of a work order to verify the leak has been repaired. Exemplary automated leakage measurement logic flows account for a variety of different technician behavior scenarios as well as real world limitations. The complex considerations ensure the correct QC measure is associated with the correct work order. In addition to making automated quality control measurements, the process is further enhanced by connecting to the operator's work order management database and adding the QC measurement data to the work order. This allows operators to use their own workforce management tools to monitor and track successful work order completion.

Abstract: A data model for an automated collection system. In an embodiment of the data model of the present invention represent an account is represented by a record in a first data structure, one or more accountholders each is represented by a record in a second data structure, and a third data structure is provided to contain records representing the connection or relationship between the accountholder and the account.
