20110128907 | METHOD FOR NETWORK CONTROLLED ACCESS SELECTION - The invention provides an Access Selection Server (ASS) and a method for the same. The invention also provides a User Equipment (UE). The Access Selection Server (ASS) comprises storing means and software and is adapted for location in a communication network comprising at least one User Equipment (UE) and communication nodes. The ASS is also arranged to store information of all accesses for each UE in the communication network and information of overall load status of the communication network in the storing means by means of collecting information through interactions with the communication nodes, the UE and an Access Selection Server subscriber Data Base (ASS DB). The ASS is further arranged to communicate control messages, based on the stored information, from the ASS to the UE, thereby enabling control of multiple UE-accesses from the ASS. | 06-02-2011 |
20110283365 | METHOD FOR USER PRIVACY PROTECTION - A system for generation of processed data for use in third party relationship monitoring is described. The system includes a communications system providing services to subscribing users. The communications system includes a rules database for storing rules, a data mining agent for mining and storing data relating to subscribing users, a content generator for generating protected user-related data from the mined data and communicating said user-related data over an interface, and a rights object generator for generating a usage rights object in response to the rules stored in the rules database and communicating said usage rights object over the interface. A tamper proof processing arrangement is connected to the interface. The tamper proof processing arrangement receives the user-related data and usage rights object from the communications system and processes the user-related data under control of the usage rights object. A signal output generator generates an output signal representative of processed data received from the processing arrangement. | 11-17-2011 |
20120096156 | METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A method and apparatus for providing labelling information to a third party regarding terminal users in a communication network. A labelling unit receives communication related data generated from executed communications of the terminal users, and fetches stored labelling rules which have been configured specifically for the third party. The labelling unit then converts the communication related data into labelling information, where a communication habits vector is determined by applying the fetched labelling rules on the received communication related data, and the labelling information is determined for the terminal user(s) based on the resulting communication habits vector. The determined labelling information is finally delivered to the third party. | 04-19-2012 |
20120185540 | Method and Arrangement for Supporting Analysis of Social Networks in a Communication Network - A method and apparatus for supporting social network analysis of terminal users in a communication network. Users being located relatively close to each other when making calls are more likely to be socially “connected” than users having mutually more remote locations. A partitioning unit ( | 07-19-2012 |
20130132309 | Method Performed in a Computer System for Aiding the Assessment of an Influence of a User in or Interacting with a Communication System by Applying Social Network Analysis, SNA, Functions, a Computer System, Computer Program and Computer Program Product - The invention relates to a method performed in a computer system for aiding the assessment of an influence of a user in or interacting with a communication system by applying social network analysis, SNA, functions. The method comprises: obtaining two or more SNA metrics for each user of a first number of users, each SNA metric being determined by a respective SNA function; calculating a weight parameter for each one of the SNA metrics using a machine learning method, the weight parameters indicating a combination of the SNA metrics for use in the assessment of the influence of the user; and applying the estimated weight parameters to SNA metrics of a second number of users to assess a ranking in accordance with influence of users in the second number of users. The invention also relates to a computer system, computer programs, and computer program products. | 05-23-2013 |

20130268664 | Method and Network Node for Providing Dynamic Subscriber Profiling Information - In the embodiments of the present invention, a network node in an operator network is introduced. The network node is an analysis component configured to analyze the subscriber behavior based on the internet traffic data within the network. The network node is configured to provide a dynamic profile of the subscribers based on the current and past internet traffic. The dynamic profile may be used by other applications in the operator network or third parties. For example, a content provider can take a decision on what content to provide to a certain subscriber, based on dynamic subscriber profile information of this certain subscriber received from the network node according to the embodiments of the present invention. Another example is that an operator can use the dynamic subscriber profile when selecting commercial offers to his own subscribers e.g. when a subscriber has a new music mobile when visiting music sites. | 10-10-2013 |

20140330968 | METHOD AND TREND ANALYZER FOR ANALYZING DATA IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A method and apparatus for performing analysis of client related data obtained from a communication network. A trend analyzer analyzes a trend of a client segment, which trend has been detected by a data stream analysis of the client related data. The trend reflects a change over time of at least one feature derived from the client related data. The trend analyzer then requests a batch based deep analysis when the trend fulfils a trigger condition, to find a cause for the trend. A result of the deep analysis is then provided to a result consumer. Thereby, the deep analysis may be performed only when a trend has been detected thus being more responsive to trends by the stream analysis and reguiring less resources, as compared to when data is always subjected to deep analysis regardless of whether a trend occurs or not. | 11-06-2014 |
