20120117220 | Packet Classification Method And Apparatus - A method of handling packets within a packet-based communication system implementing a policy and charging control architecture. The method comprises, at one or more policy and charging enforcement functions within a packet switched access network or networks, monitoring packet flows to determine user usage on a per service class basis, and periodically reporting the determined usage from the policy and charging enforcement functions to a policy and charging rules function. At the policy and charging rules function, the received usage information is used in order to generate one or more one or more rule sets, each rule comprising one or more packet properties and one or more actions for handling a packet. The or at least one rule set is sent to the or each policy and charging enforcement function where they are applied in order to determine an action or actions for handling a packet. | 2012-05-10 |
20120117221 | PREVIEW-BASED CONTENT MONITORING AND BLOCKING SYSTEM - Systems and methods are disclosed for enabling an administrator to monitor and control usage of media content in a locale. In one embodiment, the locale includes one or more media devices that have access to media content from one or more local and/or remote content sources. Usage data defining usage of the media content by a user is obtained. A pattern including two or more media segments consumed by the user is detected based on the usage data and one or more predefined pattern detection rules. The administrator is then enabled to review the pattern and choose whether to block usage. Usage of at least one of the media segments included in the pattern is then blocked at the one or more media devices at the locale in response to the administrator choosing to block usage of the at least one of the media segments included in the pattern. | 2012-05-10 |
20120117222 | RECORDING INTERNET VISITOR THREAT INFORMATION THROUGH AN INTERNET-BASED PROXY SERVICE - An Internet-based proxy service server accesses a set of visitor characteristics for multiple visitors to a set of one or more domains operated by a customer. The set of visitor characteristics are reported from a set of one or more proxy servers that are situated between client devices and a set of one or more origin servers for the set of domains. The service server causes the set of visitor characteristics to be displayed through a threat reporting interface that allows the customer to report visitors as posing an Internet security threat. The service server receives input from the customer through the threat reporting interface that at least one of the visitors poses an Internet security threat, and records that visitor as an Internet security threat in one or more threat databases that are used by the proxy servers when determining whether to allow visitors to access network resources hosted at a set of one or more origin servers. | 2012-05-10 |
20120117223 | CHANGING AN EVENT IDENTIFIER OF A TRANSIENT EVENT IN AN EVENT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM - An event notification system for distributed processing systems provides for replacement of event identifiers associated with transient objects, such as processes within the processing system. An event management interface receives a notification from an event producer that an identifier of an event produced by the event producer is no longer valid. The event management interface blocks event notification for the event and dissociates an event registration entry associated with the event from the event identifier. A new event identifier is received from the event producer by the event management interface, which associates the registration entry with the new event identifier. Event notification for the event is then resumed. | 2012-05-10 |
