20120253882 | Identification of Instable Service Plan - A method for identification of an instable network operator service (NOS) plan having one or more mobile users. Instable NOS plans are determined by first determining a heterogeneity constant for each of a plurality of NOS plans. Based at least in part on the constant, the NOS plans are classified among different categories, wherein at least one category identifies an instable NOS plan. For each of the mobile users subscribed to at least one of the instable NOS plan category, determining a best NOS plan from amongst the plurality of NOS plans and a sample network operator service plan based at least in part on a spending behavior of the respective ones of the mobile users. Identifying, the instable NOS plan from amongst the plurality of NOS plans in which maximum number of mobile users correspond to the sample NOS plan as the correspondingly determined best NOS plan. | 10-04-2012 |
20130138479 | CLASSIFICATION OF NETWORK USERS BASED ON CORRESPONDING SOCIAL NETWORK BEHAVIOR - Exemplary embodiments described herein permit classification of a new mobile user in a communication network based on demographics associated with the new mobile user. The demographics may include all or any of age, income, occupation, frequency of mobile usage, time of mobile usage, and type of mobile usage associated with the mobile users. In an exemplary implementations described herein, the method of classification may include representing, for a sample set of mobile users, each mobile user by a node and mobile usage between two nodes by an edge connecting the two nodes. The method may further include forming one or more communities of nodes based on increasing modularity. Modularity is a measure of how closely two nodes or communities are connected. The method also includes identifying a plurality of subunits by splitting each of the one or more communities based on articulation point determination. Subsequently, the method includes determining one or more structural properties associated with each of the plurality of subunits. Next, the one or more structural properties are mapped to the demographics of the plurality of subunits. Finally, the method includes classifying the new mobile user based on the determined structural properties. | 05-30-2013 |

20130268595 | DETECTING COMMUNITIES IN TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS - Methods of identifying user communities in a telecommunication network include extracting fields from communication records that contain data regarding communications of users of the telecommunication network, generating a plurality of nodes corresponding to users of the telecommunication network based on the extracted fields, determining similarities between pairs of nodes using a similarity metric that measures relationships between the users of the telecommunication network, and grouping the plurality of nodes into non-overlapping communities based on the determined similarities. Related systems and computer program products are also disclosed. | 10-10-2013 |
20130279672 | Methods and Systems For Categorizing a Customer of a Service as a Churner or a Non-Churner - In one particular aspect a method for categorizing a user of a communication service as a churner or non-churner is provided. In some embodiments, the method includes obtaining call data for the user. Next, the call data is used to determine a value (v | 10-24-2013 |
20140019453 | Apparatuses and Methods for Assessing User Interest Scores as Altered by Friends Influence - Methods and apparatuses for assessing user interest scores of users of a mobile network are provided. A method includes for each of a plurality of users (A) determining initial interest scores corresponding to user's interests and interest scores of friends of the user for the user's interests, based on browsing information, and (B) assessing user's interest scores based on the initial interest scores, the interest scores of the friends and friends' influence. The method further includes outputting a list including a subset of the users selected based on the user's interest scores. | 01-16-2014 |
20140040068 | Service Recommender System For Mobile Users - A mobile recommendation system for providing one or more recommendations to a group of mobile users having specific behavior characteristics among a plurality of mobile users is disclosed. The mobile recommendation system comprises of a pre-clustered repository that is configured to store pre-cluster data of the group of mobile users. The mobile recommendation system further comprises a processor capable of controlling a mobile identification generation module that is configured to create a plurality of pre-clusters of mobile users with regard to the pre-cluster data stored in the pre-clustered repository and to generate a unique identification parameter for each mobile user for identifying a priority of the specific behavior characteristics of the respective mobile user in the respective precluster. The processor is also capable of controlling a categorizing module that is configured to identify the group of mobile user with respect to the specific behavior characteristics of each mobile user and categorize one or more mobile users as influential users among the selected group of mobile users based on the unique identification parameter, and identifying at least one recommendation for the selected influential users. The mobile recommendation system further comprises a mobile interface that is configured to communicate one or more recommendations to each influential mobile user. | 02-06-2014 |
20140114722 | Method and Apparatus For Ranking a Customer Based on The Customer's Estimated Influence on Other Customers and The Customer's Churn Score - A method is disclosed wherein churn scores and influence scores for each customer in a particular set of customers (the set may include all customers of the network or some subset of all the customers) is determined. Each customer in the set can be ranked based on the customer's churn score and influence score. For example, a customer with a low churn score and a low influence score would be ranked lower than a customer with a high churn score and a high influence score. The customers that are ranked the highest should be the target of a retention campaign on a timely manner. | 04-24-2014 |
20150071120 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING NETWORK PERFORMANCE - A method for improving performance of a network includes identifying at least two communities of users within the network, analysing a structure of each community and clustering the communities according to community performance. The method further includes comparing a structure of a lower performing community with a structure of a higher performing community, and changing the structure of the lower performing community substantially to resemble the structure of the higher performing community. Related computer program product for carrying out a method of introducing connections among users of a network and an apparatus configured to introduce connections among users in a network are disclosed. | 03-12-2015 |
