Abstract

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system or method that determines, based on consumption data and location information, groups of access portals, where the consumption data and the location information correspond to a time period in which the access portals are used to access a service using an account. The groups can be adjusted according to an intended benefit unit for the service and a sharing structure can be determined including benefit unit partitions for the account based on the adjusting. Factors can be determined, based on the benefit unit partitions, that are indicative of account sharing, as well as weights for the factors by applying a learning model to the consumption data. An intervention strategy can be selected from a group of intervention strategies according to the factors and the weights for the factors. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

monitoring over a time period for an account of a service, by a processing system including a processor, consumption data for access portals and corresponding location information for each of the access portals that are used to access the service using the account;
determining, by the processing system and based at least on the location information, groups of the access portals according to the monitoring;
adjusting, by the processing system, the groups according to an intended benefit unit for the service;
determining, by the processing system, a sharing structure including benefit unit partitions for the account based on the adjusting;
determining, by the processing system and based on the benefit unit partitions, factors indicative of account sharing by applying a learning model to the consumption data;
determining, by the processing system using the learning model, weights for the factors;
computing, by the processing system, a weighted sum of the factors;
determining, by the processing system, a severity category for the account according to the weighted sum of the factors;
and
selecting, by the processing system, an intervention strategy from a group of intervention strategies according to the severity category.

7 more elements

A device, comprising:

a processing system including a processor;
and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
accessing consumption data for access portals and corresponding location information for each of the access portals that are used to access a service using an account over a time period;
determining, based at least on the consumption data and the location information, groups of the access portals;
adjusting the groups according to an intended benefit unit for the service;
determining a sharing structure including benefit unit partitions for the account based on the adjusting;
determining, based on the benefit unit partitions, factors indicative of account sharing and weights for the factors by applying a learning model to the consumption data;
and
selecting an intervention strategy from a group of intervention strategies according to the factors and the weights for the factors.

7 more elements

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

determining, based at least on consumption data and location information, groups of access portals, wherein the consumption data and the location information correspond to a time period in which the access portals are used to access a service using an account;
adjusting the groups according to an intended benefit unit for the service;
determining a sharing structure including benefit unit partitions for the account based on the adjusting;
determining, based on the benefit unit partitions, factors indicative of account sharing and weights for the factors by applying a learning model to the consumption data;
and
selecting an intervention strategy from a group of intervention strategies according to the factors and the weights for the factors.
