20100167658DISTRIBUTED ARCHITECTURE FOR MONITORING MOBILE COMMUNICATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK - Systems and methods for receiving reporting data related to events that occur in a wireless network. The system comprises a data management system capable of generating a data reporting profile and communicating with a wireless device and a wireless device comprised of a first and at least one secondary processor, the first processor being monitored by a master agent and the secondary processors being monitored by a slave agent, the master agent being capable of monitoring and reporting a plurality of conditions of the first processor and sending and receiving communications from the data management system, and the slave agent being capable of monitoring and reporting plurality of conditions on the secondary processors and sending and receiving communications with the master agent. The master agent and slave agent monitor and report the conditions of the first and second processor by applying a series of logical rules found within the data reporting profile.07-01-2010

The method comprises receiving a data reporting profile which includes a series of executable commands which include a series of logical rules governing the manner in which reporting data should be generated and reported, compiling the executable commands of the data reporting profile into collection schema for collecting and reporting the reporting data according to the logical rules of the data reporting profile, creating a plurality of triggering criteria when reporting data should be generated based on the collection schema, creating a plurality of memory where the reporting data may be stored according to the collection schema, and scheduling the transfer of reporting data according to the collection schema.07-01-2010
20110213663SERVICE INTELLIGENCE MODULE PROGRAM PRODUCT - A service intelligence module may be embodied as a system or as a method for configuring a processor. It comprises at least a metric definition, which is a computer executable rule for parsing a binary formatted log message for a metric type; and a measure factory, which configures a processor to publish attributes of a measure determined by a calculation or computation performed on a metric collected by a data collection agent. A service intelligence module further comprises an enrichment which joins two datastreams having a common dimension. Service intelligence modules may capture and analyze such domains as illustrated but not limited to: application analytics, carrier comparative quality and performance analytics, advertising audience segmentation analysis, and content copyright analytics. A computer executed method and program product comprising codes for reading recorded values from a metric package and generating measures, under control of a mobile service intelligence platform for display to a user of a domain specific analysis service. A combination of service intelligence modules may be selected and applied to a study. Each service intelligence module may have aspects for combining and organizing data along useful dimensions for analysis, and for reading pertinent metrics to transformation into measures in the form appropriate to a specific study.09-01-2011
20110231360Persistent flow method to define transformation of metrics packages into a data store suitable for analysis by visualization - A persistent flow provides a contract for delivering certain measures in a format which can be interactively analyzed along certain dimensions. It defines how a large number of metrics packages may be transformed into one or more hypercubes within a datamart. In particular a Carrier IQ persistent flow defines the dimensions along which key performance indicators may be displayed interactively in at least one dashboard with analytic tool controls. A persistent flow is stateful to incrementally process metrics packages over multiple collection periods which are not correlated with the times the metrics are recorded at the device. A flow defines the measures to be derived from metrics and the attributes of the measures of interest in a study. A flow defines enrichments that may be determined by examining measures from apparently independent sources and uses reference files to decode status records. A persistent flow provides an up-to-date view in the datamart by being run on a regular schedule to combine the most recently received data with previous intermediate results, thereby improving performance and avoiding staleness.09-22-2011

20120240206Configuration of a Data Collection Agent and Its Distribution System - A wireless device user controls participation in a study panel. The device contains a data collection agent installed by the user, the manufacturer, or a distributor. The user enlists in a study panel. The essential steps include: a user obtains a panel identification identity and provides it to a data collection agent; the data collection agent receives the panel identification identity and uses it to initiate the transfer of a data collection profile. Upon receiving the data collection profile, the data collection agent on the wireless device is configured to participate in a specific study. The agent is controlled by the profile to record metrics and user selections, transform the data into a package, and transmit the package to a destination package reception server determined in the profile.09-20-2012
20120331094Multi-party reporting in profile-based data collection - A multi-client data collection agent. Multiple parties provision (“task”) and maintain profiles on a single device. The agent is responsible for maintaining and executing these multiple profiles and their associated collected data, and for reporting up to each of the tasking authorities on the schedule each one specifies. The agent is controlled by the multiple profiles to record metrics and user selections, transform the data into a plurality of packages, and transmit the packages to at least one destination package reception server determined in each profile. A priority screen enables resolution of conflicts over scarce resources.12-27-2012
20120331540Authentication and authorization method for tasking in profile-based data collection - An apparatus and a new method of authentication and authorization of tasking requests to data collection agents on wireless devices directly makes use of public key cryptography, rather than depending on domain-name-based authenticated using the standard HTTPS chain-of-trust: A set of digital credentials is stored in the device's secure credential store. These credentials include at least one “supertasking authority” credential, as well as one or more normal “tasking authority” credentials. Profiles are only accepted by the agent if they are signed by a trusted tasking authority credential. Supertasking authority credentials thus serve as credential authorities (CAs) for tasking authority credentials.12-27-2012
