Migration Authorisation Code

Abstract: The present invention advantageously provides to Internet Service Providers (ISP) precise control over who receives an advertisement. Thus, in accordance with the present invention, an ISP provider may now offer advertisers precision advertising. An ISP provider has access to precise demographic data on each of the ISP's customers. The ISP provider also has access to data on the periods of usage, including the type of customers accessing the Internet during such periods of usage. With this information, which is available only to the ISP provider, a profile may be compiled by the ISP provider that provides precise information on the ISP customers (e.g., demographic data) and the periods of heaviest Internet access by the various different ISP customer groups (e.g., 20-35 year old males, retired persons, children, etc.).

Abstract: A method is presented for performing an identity provider migration operation with respect to a user within a federated computational environment, wherein the user has a first user account at a first identity provider, a second user account at a second identity provider, and a third user account at a service provider. A request to access a resource is received by the service provider, after which a federated single-sign-on operation for the user is performed between the service provider and the first identity provider. Prior to sending a response to the request to access the protected resource, information in the third user account is modified to indicate that the service provider relies upon the second identity provider to authenticate the user on behalf of the service provider rather than the first identity provider. A response for the request to access the resource is then returned by the service provider.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of transferring a selection of data stored in a database, managed by a content provider, by at least one mobile phone user, called subscriber wherein said database is connected to a management platform, called manager, said manager being connected to one or more application servers and to one or more telecommunication suppliers and wherein said transfer process comprises the following steps: Said subscriber enters into connection with one of said telecommunication suppliers by sending an identifier of said content provider, the sending action is named the request;. Said supplier transmits at least said identifier, together with at least a reception time stamp and/or a space stamp of said request to said manager; Said manager associates said identifier with an Internet delivery address of said content provider and associates said time stamp and/or space stamp with a code; Said manager transmits to said telecommunication supplier delivery information comprising either said Internet delivery address directly or indirectly linked to said code, or said Internet delivery address together with said code; or any relevant information directly or indirectly linked to said code to access Internet resources, said supplier being in charge to transmit said delivery information to said subscriber; To transfer said data selection, said subscriber goes to said address either by clicking on said delivery address directly or indirectly linked to said code, or by going to said delivery address with any Internet terminal and encoding said code preferably in an access form; At the reception of said code corresponding to the time stamp and/or to the space stamp, the content provider associates said code with a data selection and makes it available for said subscriber.

Abstract: A P-NAP routing complex (100) for routing packet traffic on the Internet using core routers connected to National Internet Services providers such as MCI (420), Sprint (422), and the like. Configuration files that instruct BGP4 Border Gateway Protocol version 4 to control the path of outgoing packets as well as the packet return path are created and loaded into the core routers as ASCII text files. The code routers read off the commands one-by-one and act upon the commands by taking the appropriate action. In creating the router configuration files, it is necessary to instruct BGP4 to place different preference values on routes determined to be within a provider to which the P-NAP (100) has a connection from all other routes. There are four alternative methods for creating commands which instruct BGP4 on how to determine which routes are within a provider and which are not. There is a choice either specifically permitting all routes known to be a part of a provider or denying all routes known not to be part of a provider and permitting everything else.
