A third generation (3G) mobile communication system supports an over-the-air activation scheme utilizing a wireless packet data protocol. A subscriber identity module (SIM) is preloaded with temporary operating parameters such as a temporary international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) that is used for initial access to a network. Once a packet data protocol communication link is established between the mobile device and a network support node, the user may remotely subscribe to a number of service terms using the mobile device. In addition, an activation procedure is carried out to assign permanent operating parameters, e.g., a permanent IMSI, to the SIM. After activation, the user can remotely modify existing terms or remotely enroll in additional service features via a wireless IP link between the mobile device and a network support node.

Tracking and analysis of the location of user and device access to telecommunications services may be used to validate that a given user or device is part of an authorized subscriber household and is therefore properly accessing those services in accordance with the terms of service. A service provider may determine, based on previously collected data and user information collected while a user accesses a service, whether the user's pattern of access establishes a required pattern of access determined by the service provider, such as access on a minimum periodic basis from the home of an authorized subscriber.

Online professional services networks that create and provide access to professional service provider databases where the professionals are linked to others based on their referral relationships. The networks allow users, e.g., network members and other consumers (e.g. patients, clients) to search/identify, evaluate and select professionals based on their trusted relations and recommendations, as well as to perform various other tasks online such as negotiate service terms as well as request and submit payment.

The invention provides a method for detecting abnormal service behaviors, which comprises the following steps of: establishing a model of normal service system access behaviors of users according to historical audit records prior to a current detection point of safety audit equipment; and analyzing real-time audit records of the safety audit equipment, comparing the real-time audit records with the normal behavior model, and judging whether the service access behaviors of the users are abnormal or not. The invention also provides a system for detecting abnormal service behaviors. The method and the system for detecting abnormal service behaviors can detect attack behaviors, which are legal in terms of service flow, but still bring about destruction to a service system actually, according to audit records of the safety audit equipment.

The method includes following steps: in term of service need in the system, the digital TV broadcast system figures out the time of generating the next time slice of each service, and sends it to the service and frequency spectrum coordination unit; the coordination unit supervises and coordinates the service needs in digital TV broadcast system and in wireless communication system by using a time observation window in order to determine the time and length of frequency spectrum occupied different systems, and then transmits the dispatch message to the digital broadcast system and the wireless communication system; while each system occupies the frequency spectrum in an appointed time quantum, the digital broadcast renew the time of generating the next time slice of each service, and then transmits the message to the coordination unit.

A system and method for profitably operating communications services may include providing a service plan inclusive of at least a portion of the communications services being unlimited for a user. A computing system may collect usage data of the user during a time period associated with the unlimited portion of the service plan. The computing system may determine whether the usage data is indicative of the user using the communications services in violation of service terms and conditions associated with the unlimited portion of the service plan. The computing system may perform an action in response to determining that the user is in violation of the terms and conditions.

An anti-UCE system comprises a certificate issuance module configured to issue certificates to e-mail users and to maintain a registry of issued certificates with an indication of validity for each issued certificate. There is a plurality of possible certificates, each having a class with associated terms of service defining e-mail transmission limitations for the class. A certificate status module determines whether e-mail signed using the certificate violates the terms of service for the class. A filter module receives e-mails intended for e-mail users, and is configured to determine if a received e-mail is signed with a certificate from the plurality of certificates and, if signed, to determine from the certificate status module if the certificate is valid based on an identity of the sender and a class indicated in the certificate, and to forward the e-mail to an intended e-mail user if the certificate is valid.

In the process of managing packet domain service, when the service control point (SCP) confirms the failure of service access in term of service request triggered by GPRSupporting Node (GSN), the method includes: A) SCP determines what caused access failure, and in term of different failure reason determines different GSN causing value; B) SCP transmits the determined causing value to the GSN, and said GSN translates the different causing value into MS causing value of different mobile terminal and sends down it to MS; C) said MS receives different MS causing value, and determines and displays different interrupt indication message indicating the reason of access failure.

Automated criteria template generation and automated criteria population in a contract model for improving the efficiency, functionality, and accuracy of systems for contract modeling and claim valuation are provided. When modeling contracts for claim valuation, terms are entered into a contract model, and criteria are entered that determine whether a particular term matches an item on a claim. A contract modeling and claim valuation system collects and stores criteria data that have matched service terms during claim valuations, and prioritizes the criteria for building criteria templates for associated service terms. When a contract model is being built, and entry of a particular service term is received, the contract modeler searches for criteria templates that are associated with the service term. A criteria template is selected, and the criteria in the criteria template are automatically loaded into a criteria section of the contract modeler graphical user interface.

The present disclosure provides a secure, user-transparent, and highly efficient content provider-specific identifier("CPSID"), sometimes referred to as a "read-only cookie" ("ROC"). These content provider-specific identifiers may be generated by the client device and encrypted with a public key of the content provider, preventing third parties from indirectly identifying matches, and obviating the need for provider-side cookie matching tables and resource-intensive tracking communications. The generation of content provider- specific identifiers may be controlled by user policies, such that identifiers are only created for content providers with compliant terms of service (ToS), e.g. retrievable from a predetermined address within the domain; content providers that are on a whitelist (e.g. for which the user has explicitly provided consent); and/or content providers that are not on a blacklist (e.g. for which the user has explicitly refused consent).
