International Classification:

G06F 124

US Classification:

713163, 713200, 713201

Abstract:

An system for allowing a computer network site to recognize an anonymous user without revealing the identity of the user. The system involves generating a user alias based on the users identity and the computer network site such that it is computationally difficult to determine the users identity from the alias alone. The system further involves informing the computer network site of the alias upon access of the site by the user. The computer network site may then block access to the sites contents whenever it receives an alias associated with a disruptive user.

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

H04W 24/00

US Classification:

4554563, 4554561, 455560, 4554042, 707708, 342463, 342450

Abstract:

A location service for wireless devices is described. In embodiments, a connection identifier is received that indicates a wireless device is linked to a communication node for wireless communication. Additional wireless devices are also linked to the communication node for wireless communication, and the additional wireless devices can each identify its geographic location. Location data is received from the additional wireless devices, where the location data indicates the respective geographic locations of the additional wireless devices. A location of the communication node can be determined from the location data that is received from the additional wireless devices, and a current location can then be assigned to the wireless device based on the determined location of the communication node.

705 26, 370329, 707 3, 707E17108

Abstract:

A system is described for managing wireless data access comprising. In one embodiment, the system includes a database to store user data for prepaid users and user data for postpaid users, the data for prepaid users including lease status data; a dispatcher to receive a request for data services from a wireless device, the dispatcher to query the database to determine whether the wireless device is associated with a prepaid account or a postpaid account on the wireless service provider, wherein if the wireless device is associated with a prepaid account, the dispatcher reads the lease status data to determine whether the account has a lease expiration indication and, if so, formats a lease renewal request according to a first data format over a local data network; a billing server to receive the lease renewal request from the dispatcher in the first data format and to reformat the request to a second data format, the second data format compatible with a charge control node (“CCN”) employed on the wireless service provider, the billing server to receive a response from the CCN indicating whether a lease associated with the wireless device is to be renewed and to reformat the response from the second data format to the first data format and to send the reformatted response to the dispatcher; and policy management logic executed on the dispatcher to block access to data services for the wireless device if the response indicates insufficient funds associated with the wireless device account or to allow access to data services if the response indicates a successful lease renewal.

Abstract:

Among other things, techniques and systems are disclosed for exchanging notifications and data between a client device and a server. A system includes a server configured to maintain a first persistent connection to a mobile electronic device. The first persistent connection is configured to push at least service specific data to the mobile electronic device. The server is further configured to maintain a second persistent connection to a third party server. The second persistent connection is configured to monitor for availability, at the third party server, of new data associated with the mobile electronic device. The server is also configured to notify the mobile electronic device via the first persistent connection when new data becomes available at the third party server.
