  • Patent number: 11025970
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling network bandwidth utilization by media streaming services are provided. According to one embodiment, a data stream associated with streaming media content being requested from an external service provider by a client device associated with a private network is intercepted by a network manager associated with the private network. Streaming options made available for streaming the streaming media content are limited by the network manager by: (i) identifying a policy applicable to the data stream; (ii) identifying a manifest specifying multiple versions in which the streaming media content is available to be streamed, within the data stream; (iii) determining the multiple versions by parsing the manifest; (iv) determining a prohibited version that exceeds a bandwidth limitation specified by the policy; (v) updating the manifest by removing information regarding the prohibited version from the manifest; and (vi) providing the updated manifest to the client device.

  • Publication number: 20160180022
    Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting and mitigating fraud by proactively analyzing and correlating Electronic Medical Record (EMR) audit log information in real-time are provided. According to one embodiment, activity information is received and queued in real-time as it is posted to audit logs of an EMR system onto a message queue of an EMR fraud and risk mitigation system. The activity information includes information regarding timing of an access to a database of multiple databases of the EMR system, a type of the access and a user initiating the access. The activity information is correlated and analyzed in real-time by one or more analysis models by dequeuing the activity information from the message queue and applying configurable rules maintained by a rules engine. The existence of one or more related events potentially indicative of fraud are detected based the results of the real-time correlation and analysis.
