20160019568 | ColorStream Inventory Management System and Methodology - An Inventory Management system and methodology employing a BASE association algorithm in the assessment of graphical images for an Inventory (or Safety Stock/Forecast/Supply and/or Purchase Order) management and engaging procedure designed for systematic calculation of inventory adjustments based on graphical components interpretation and user defined rules. Instead of working with underlying numbers, the disclosed system and methodology works with associative numbers assigned to each component in every time bucket of a graphical chart in reference to its distinct BASE or calculated RUNRATE. Explicit colors are assigned to each component of the chart and color recognition may be used in establishing the associations by measuring and comparing the component levels in each defined area of the chart. Optionally, straight calculation can be used to determine the associative levels of the components. Levels for every component are expressed in units of an established BASE in every time frame bucket of the chart and will provide a foundation for computation of recommended forecast adjustments. To address active supply/forecast management and to control inventory levels the following elements must be inspected and evaluated daily: current inventory and forecast (future open orders), Shipping history and current Backlog (hard orders). | 01-21-2016 |

20100151822 | Security Protocols for Mobile Operator Networks - Security protocols for mobile operator networks are described. In embodiments, mobile communication link is established between a mobile phone and a media content provider via a communication service provider with which the mobile phone is registered for mobile communications, and via at least one roaming node network with which the communication service provider has a roaming service agreement. The media content provider receives a security policy request from the mobile phone to establish a security policy for end-to-end security of the mobile communication link between the media content provider and the mobile phone for data communication security. The media content provider then communicates a security policy response to the mobile phone to establish the security policy for the end-to-end security of the mobile communication link that is adaptable to security restrictions of the roaming node network. | 06-17-2010 |
20100153227 | MOBILE PHONE BILLING FOR CONTENT PAYMENT - Mobile phone billing for content payment is described. In embodiments, a media content provider receives a billing identifier that is associated with a mobile phone.

The media content provider receives a request from the mobile phone to purchase and download a media asset. The media content provider determines the billing identifier that is associated with the mobile phone for the purchase of the media asset, and communicates a charge for the media asset to the communication service provider that then bills a user associated with the mobile phone. The user that is associated with the mobile phone is billed for the media asset in a mobile phone service bill. | 06-17-2010 |
20120036075 | DETERMINING MOBILE ACCOUNT TO APPLY MARKETPLACE CHARGES - Identifying a mobile operator account associated with a user to apply charges incurred by the user at a mobile marketplace service. The mobile operator provides an account identifier for the account to a billing token service associated with the mobile marketplace service. The billing token service creates a billing token including the account identifier, and provides the billing token to the user. When subsequently ordering from the mobile marketplace service, the user sends order requests with the billing token to the mobile marketplace service. The mobile marketplace service extracts the account identifier from the billing token and provides the order requests and the extracted account identifier to a mobile operator billing service. The mobile operator billing service applies a charge to the mobile operator account identified by the account identifier. Based on a charge status from the mobile operator billing service (e.g., a successful or unsuccessful charge), the mobile marketplace service allows or denies access by the user to an item identified in the order request. | 02-09-2012 |
20120167061 | IDENTIFYING FACTORABLE CODE - Various embodiments are disclosed that relate to the automated identification of one or more computer program functions for potentially placing on a remote computing device in a split-computational computing environment. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides, on a computing device, a method of determining a factorable portion of code to locate remotely from other portions of the code of a program to hinder unauthorized use and/or distribution of the program. The method includes, on a computing device, receiving an input of a representation of the code of the program, performing analysis on the representation of the code, the analysis comprising one or more of static analysis and dynamic analysis, and based upon the analysis of the code, outputting a list of one or more functions determined from the analysis to be candidates for locating remotely. | 06-28-2012 |
20120191803 | DECOMMISSIONING FACTORED CODE - Various embodiments are disclosed that relate to decommissioning factored code of a program on a computing device. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a method of operating a computing device. The method includes executing a program on the computing device, and while executing the program, identifying a remote location of a factored function via a code map, sending a call to the factored function and receiving a return response. The method further comprises, upon occurrence of a decommissioning event, receiving a copy of the factored function; and updating the code map with a location of the copy of the factored function. | 07-26-2012 |
20120192209 | FACTORING MIDDLEWARE FOR ANTI-PIRACY - Embodiments are disclosed that relate to hindering unauthorized use or distribution of a middleware program contained within an application. One example embodiment provides a method for hindering unauthorized use or distribution of a middleware program contained within an application. The method comprises acquiring factored middleware code, the factored middleware code having a missing function residing on a remote computing device, and building an application around the factored middleware code such that the application is configured to call to the remote computing device for execution of the missing function during use. The application may be configured to send a call to the remote computing device for execution of the missing function during use. | 07-26-2012 |
