A device such as a mobile device may be configured to connect to and/or communicate with one or more networks. The device may receive information indicating that there is at least one other network within a range of the device. One of the networks within range of the device may comprise a preferred cellular network. The device may then scan for the preferred cellular network and communicate with the preferred cellular network. The device may also detect the preferred cellular network based on information stored on the device. When the device is within range of the preferred cellular network, the device may detect the preferred cellular network based on the stored information and begin communicating with the preferred cellular network.

Enhanced cellular scanning

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for device routing management are disclosed. A client device of a wireless network may roam from a first access point to a second access point of the wireless network. The second access point, or the client device itself, may send a network message indicating the client device is currently being served by the second access point. The message may cause a network mapping stored at the first access point and/or at each device associated with the wireless network to be updated to indicate the client device is associated with the second access point, thereby enabling proper routing of network traffic to the client device via the second access point.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for device routing management

Disclosed are various systems and methods for monitoring and maintaining networks, such as networks associated with a wireless access point. In an aspect, a user device that was connected the wireless access point and loses connectivity to the access point can receive network parameters for implementing a new wireless network, where the network parameters are associated with the network as implemented by the wireless access point that is no longer available. The user device can activate a new wireless hotspot mode using the received network parameters. The resulting new wireless hotspot can implement various aspects of the wireless access point and associated network. The new wireless hotspot enabled by the user device can allow other devices, previously connected to the access point, to automatically connect to the new wireless hotspot.

Methods and systems for managing network hotspots

A method and system are disclosed for behavioral analysis for profiling wireless subscribers. The method includes loading carrier reference data comprising a set of common categories and loading a plurality of behavior records of at least two types, wherein each behavior record is generated by a mobile device activity of a subscriber. The method proceeds by associating each behavior record with one or more of the categories, thereby generating categorized data records. Finally each category associated with a behavior record is added to a subscriber profile for the subscriber whose activity generated the behavior record.

Behavioral analysis engine for profiling wireless subscribers

Systems and methods for inventory management integrating subscriber and targeting data are provided. The method includes tracking historical inventory during a first time period for each of a plurality of advertising spots, the number of impressions for each spot. Each impression is categorized by segment. The method further includes predicting a future inventory available for a second time period based on the tracked inventory, and subtracting, on a segment-by-segment basis, inventory that is sold from the future inventory.

Inventory management integrating subscriber and targeting data

A system, method, and computer-readable media are described for suggesting an action based on multiple descriptors within a textual communication (e.g. email, text message). In one embodiment, event descriptors within an email are identified and displayed to the email recipient with an indication that the descriptors are selectable. Upon receiving the selection of at least two descriptors, an action is suggested to the recipient for acceptance. Upon receiving the acceptance, the proposed action is performed.

Providing suggested actions in response to textual communications

Generally, an illustrative system for optimizing an advertising campaign on a mobile device includes a graphic user interface for accessing by at least one of a carrier and an advertiser, a data store, a campaign delivery engine for delivering advertisements into content provider spots and recording events into the data store, and an optimization engine. The optimization engine can support the graphic user interface and analyze one or more campaign events each linked with corresponding subscriber demographic data obtained from the data store for adjusting the advertising campaign during its run. The illustrative system can also support one or more methods disclosed herein.

In-flight campaign optimization

A method, system, and medium are provided for facilitating navigation data updates. One embodiment of the method includes receiving an indication that a navigation route is unavailable. The indication that the navigation route is unavailable is provided by a user of a mobile device. A notification of the unavailable navigation route is communicated to a navigation server. The unavailable navigation route is excluded in subsequently provided navigation routes.

Facilitating navigation data updates

A method, apparatus, and system for provisioning a mobile station with a destination communication address, such as a public safety answering point address for instance, during de-registration of the mobile station from a cellular radio access network (RAN). During de-registration of the mobile station from the cellular RAN, a location of the mobile station may be determined. The location may then be used as a basis to look up a communication address of a PSAP or other such destination, and the communication address may be provided to the mobile station in a de-registration response message, or the de-registration response message may be otherwise used as a basis to convey the communication address to the mobile station. Thereafter, when the mobile station seeks to place an emergency service call while not registered with the RAN, the mobile station may conveniently retrieve the communication address and place the call to that address.

Provisioning mobile station with destination communication address during de-registration

A system is provided for presenting media instances on communication devices. The system includes a processor on a communication device, a source component, and a target component. The source component, when executed by the processor, parses a selected media container to identify a set of media instances of a first type and constructs a media instance list that comprises the identified set of media instances, wherein the selected media container is inaccessible by an activated media presenter. The target component, when executed by the processor, enables the activated media presenter to present at least two of the set of media instances from the media instance list to a user interface without deactivating between presentations.

Presenting media instances on a communication device

Systems, products, and methods are disclosed for enabling access to encrypted data stored on a portable storage medium. In one embodiment, an attempt to communicate with a certain intranet is made. If this attempt succeeds, then access is granted to the data stored on the portable storage device, but if access to the intranet is not granted, then access to the data stored on the portable storage device is also not granted. Denying access can include preventing the portable storage device from even being recognized by a requesting device, being recognized but not presented, or can include showing that such encrypted data exists, but denying access to the data in an unencrypted format.
