Patent number: 9949130Abstract: System for monitoring of IoT data traffic between an IoT device connected via a cellular network and a server using Internet Protocol (IP), where the IP addresses are dynamically assigned and thus do not identify the devices. The system uses a device on the cellular network that extracts cellular identification of an IoT device involved in a data communication session and IP identification of the data communication session. The device matches the cellular identification with the IP identification. A database has device security profiles for IoT devices which can be retrieved per device via the cellular identification. Then, an enforcement unit identifies the session using the IP address and allows traffic only if the traffic conforms with the device security profile which was retrieved using the cellular identification.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2017Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: StarHome Mach GmbHInventors: Shai Ophir, Shlomo Wolfman

Patent number: 9730095Abstract: Component for insertion into a cellular communication network to reduce redundant signaling on the network or between the network and other networks, comprises: an extractor, to extract signaling passing the insertion point towards a destination, modify the signaling and reinsert the signaling for sending onwards. The extractor comprises a signal part remover to remove a part determined to be present at the destination; and an inserter for inserting a flag into the signaling to indicate the removal. The modified signal is sent on to the destination where a complementary component reads the flag and reinserts the extracted part from a database of its own. Location update activity often involves redundant transfer of user profiles, which the components herein can save.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2015Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: StarHome Mach GmbHInventor: Shai Ophir

Patent number: 9392497Abstract: CSFallback controller allows a long term evolution (LTE) supporting telephone handset to communicate over a network that does not support LTE voice calls, using circuit-switch fallback (CSFallback). The CSFallback controller comprises a visited side signaling output to provide visited side signaling to respond to a mobile terminated call to an mobile handset supporting LTE by locating said handset and an MSC currently serving said handset, using an emulation of HLR signaling for locating the handset and the MSC and a home side signaling output, to provide home side signaling to an HLR associated with the handset. The home side signaling is an emulation of signaling from a serving MSC. The controller transfers the call for handling by the identified currently serving MSC.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2014Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: StarHome GmbHInventors: Eran Kaufman, Shai Ophir, Michael Semama

Patent number: 9071620Abstract: The invention provides a method and a system for enabling communication with a device (206) of a party operating in a hybrid network. The hybrid network combines an Internet-protocol based network (202) and a non-internet-protocol based network (203), wherein the device is an Internet-protocol based device (206). The method includes contacting a first registry being (209) a member in the non-Internet-protocol based network (203) for registering the device in the non-internet-protocol based network. The method also includes contacting a second registry (210) being a member in the Internet-protocol based network (202), for registering the device in the Internet-protocol based network.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2008Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: STARHOME GMBHInventors: Reuven Della-Torre, Shai Ophir, Ory Biran, Edy Rozenfeld, Noam Danon, Avi Alon

Patent number: 8711757Abstract: Apparatus for local access to data while roaming with a mobile telephony device at a roaming network. The apparatus is located at the roaming network and comprises a filter having a data packet or packet header inspection unit for inspecting packet information or headers to identify data packets addressed from the roaming telephony device for use via a home network data packet gateway, and a packet diverter for diverting at least some of the identified packets to a local data packet gateway; the filter setting up a diversion tunnel for additional packets of the same session for directly routing all packets of the identified session to the local data packet gateway. Mobile devices are today programmed to send data to their home network for browsing via the home network data packet gateway. The filter allows data to be redirected to the roaming network so that Internet browsing and like data uses can be carried out directly by the roaming user at less cost and greater efficiency and quality of service.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2010Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: StarHome GmbHInventors: Shai Ophir, Michael Semama, Li-On Raviv
