Latest Patents

Nir’s listed patent portfolio includes 2 patents.

“Techniques to Identify Application Foreground / Background State Based on Network Traffic” describes methods for analyzing monitored network traffic to distinguish foreground activity from background activity. The system uses a foreground activity profile to identify active foreground applications and records their activity during a monitored period, even when some of the observed traffic represents background activity.

“Techniques to Identify Applications Based on Network Traffic” describes a system that combines records of application installations across client devices with training network traffic. Machine learning is used to generate network profiles, which can then help identify applications from additional network traffic.
