20130272161 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INDICATING CLASSIFICATION OF A COMMUNICATIONS FLOW - System and method for providing a layer 2 switch in the access network that switches based upon one or more carrier tags identifying customer traffic. Customer traffic conforming to any variety of different layer 1 or layer 2 protocols may be encapsulated and identified according to carrier tag values. The layer 2 switch may determine how to handle the traffic by interpreting and manipulating the carrier tag values. The layer 2 switch may be capable of switching TDM input traffic to either TDM or packet output traffic, and switching packetized input traffic to either TDM or packet output traffic. Handling classification values may also be processed by the layer 2 switch to affect prioritization of handling of encapsulated traffic. | 10-17-2013 |

20150039444 | APPLICATION OF DYNAMIC TOKENS - A method assigns token requirements to service subscriptions in a service platform, such as a service platform containing entities, such as end-users, contacts, sponsors, membership associations or databases, or a database associating, referencing, or containing a plurality of said entities or databases. The operator of the service platform establishes customization factors and maintains records reserving particular data services associated with token requirements for delivery to entities. In addition, customization factors are determined, at least in part, from values representing the relative quantity of, or representing values or information associated with, objects in a database or data set or the like. Token requirements associated with data services or service subscriptions or contracts are calculated from one or more formulas utilizing customization factors. Sponsorships associated with the entities can be accepted by the service platform. Based at least in part on the acceptance, the service platform can apply one or more credits toward the fulfillment of token requirements. An entity can be provided a data service or a service subscription or contract based on a relationship with a sponsorship such that an entity assigned a subscription or assigned to an interest in a subscription having a token requirement fulfilled, in whole or in part, as a result of applying credit from a sponsorship will receive services related to the subscription. The method is particularly useful in enhancing the accessibility of services and/or service features for entities in a network, such as membership associations or social networks, who can benefit, or whose end-users can benefit, with an application of tokens related to those services and/or service features. | 02-05-2015 |
