  • Publication number: 20220094755
    Abstract: A processing system in a network identifies first and second endpoint devices subscribed to a data plan that allows the first and second user endpoint devices to transmit and receive a shared, allotted amount of data through the network. A first subset of application data associated with the data plan is classified by parsing metadata associated with the application data to identify a first group of applications to or from which the application data was sent. A second subset of the application data is classified by parsing network data associated with the application data to identify a second group of applications to or from which the application data was sent. A report indicates respective portions of the allotted amount of data consumed by individual applications in the first and second groups of applications, and how much of the respective portions were consumed by the first and second user endpoint devices.

  • Patent number: 11178633
    Abstract: In one example, a processing system including at least one processor may receive a first set of location reports for a device in an environment including a plurality of wireless beacons, determine, based on the first set of location reports for the device, a first location of the device in the environment, initiate, based on the first location of the device in the environment, a sending of a content item toward the device, receive a second set of location reports for the device, determine, based on the second set of location reports for the device, a second location of the device in the environment, and provide, based on the first location of the device in the environment and the second location of the device in the environment, a metric indicative of an effectiveness of the content item in causing movement of a user of the device in the environment.
