  • Patent number: 10754985
    Abstract: The disclosed techniques provide systems and methods for anonymizing various portions of information, action logs, end-user information, and/or other data sets that are stored in non-indexed storage systems. More specifically, various anonymization procedures are described for redacting UII and/or replacing UII in raw data with randomly generated information (RGI). The anonymization process is performed on a rolling basis as raw data is received. An anonymization mapping table maps (or associates) the replaced UII in the anonymized data to the RGI, and eventually all raw data can be deleted.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150142953
    Abstract: Techniques for receiving and processing detected events are provided. A bit array may be received from a device. Each bit value in the bit array may indicate whether a user initiated event relating to interaction with a website was detected by the device. Data regarding a start time associated with the bit array may be received. Each bit value in the bit array is associated with a time increment after the start time.

  • Publication number: 20110246574
    Abstract: A social networking system facilitates a user's creation of a group of other users from among the user's connections in the user's social network. The created groups may be used, for example, to publish information to certain user-defined groups or to define privacy settings or other access rights to the user's content according to such user-defined groups. When a user adds connections to a group, the social networking system determines suggested connections that have not been added to the group, based on a similarity of the suggested connections with one or more of the connections who have been added to the group. These suggested connections are then presented to the user to facilitate the creation of the group. Both positive and negative feedback may be used to generate a useful set of suggestions, which may be updated as the user further defines the group.
