Method for transfer of information related to targeted content messages through a proxy server

A method of securely generating a user profile on a wireless access terminal (W-AT), comprising:

• locally collecting, by the W-AT, user behavioral data associated with a user of the W-AT;
• locally synthesizing, by the W-AT, a set of profile attributes based on the locally collected user behavioral data;
• determining, by the W-AT, to refine at least one profile attribute from the set of locally synthesized profile attributes via interaction with at least one external apparatus;
• transmitting, by the W-AT, a request for the at least one external apparatus to refine the at least one profile attribute, wherein the transmitting transmits the request to a proxy server instead of directly to the at least one external apparatus to maintain anonymity for the W-AT with respect to the at least one external apparatus;
• receiving, at the W-AT from the proxy server, a response to the request that includes at least one refined profile attribute that is refined from the at least one profile attribute by the at least one external apparatus;
• and
• generating, by the W-AT, the user profile based at least in part upon the at least one refined profile attribute.

A wireless access terminal (W-AT) configured to securely generate a user profile, comprising:

• means for locally collecting user behavioral data associated with a user of the W-AT;
• means for locally synthesizing a set of profile attributes based on the locally collected user behavioral data;
• means for determining to refine at least one profile attribute from the set of locally synthesized profile attributes via interaction with at least one external apparatus;
• means for transmitting a request for the at least one external apparatus to refine the at least one profile attribute, wherein the means for transmitting transmits the request to a proxy server instead of directly to the at least one external apparatus to maintain anonymity for the W-AT with respect to the at least one external apparatus;
• means for receiving, from the proxy server, a response to the request that includes at least one refined profile attribute that is refined from the at least one profile attribute by the at least one external apparatus;
• and
• means for generating the user profile based at least in part upon the at least one refined profile attribute.

A wireless access terminal (W-AT) configured to securely generate a user profile, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• locally collect user behavioral data associated with a user of the W-AT;
• locally synthesize a set of profile attributes based on the locally collected user behavioral data;
• determine to refine at least one profile attribute from the set of locally synthesized profile attributes via interaction with at least one external apparatus;
• transmit a request for the at least one external apparatus to refine the at least one profile attribute, wherein the at least one processor transmits the request to a proxy server instead of directly to the at least one external apparatus to maintain anonymity for the W-AT with respect to the at least one external apparatus;
• receive, from the proxy server, a response to the request that includes at least one refined profile attribute that is refined from the at least one profile attribute by the at least one external apparatus;
• and
• generate the user profile based at least in part upon the at least one refined profile attribute.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a wireless access terminal (W-AT) configured to securely generate a user profile, cause the W-AT to perform operations, the instructions comprising:

• at least one instruction configured to cause the W-AT to locally collect user behavioral data associated with a user of the W-AT;
• at least one instruction configured to cause the W-AT to locally synthesize a set of profile attributes based on the locally collected user behavioral data;
• at least one instruction configured to cause the W-AT to determine to refine at least one profile attribute from the set of locally synthesized profile attributes via interaction with at least one external apparatus;
• at least one instruction configured to cause the W-AT to transmit a request for the at least one external apparatus to refine the at least one profile attribute, wherein the at least one processor transmits the request to a proxy server instead of directly to the at least one external apparatus to maintain anonymity for the W-AT with respect to the at least one external apparatus;
• at least one instruction configured to cause the W-AT to receive, from the proxy server, a response to the request that includes at least one refined profile attribute that is refined from the at least one profile attribute by the at least one external apparatus;
• and
• at least one instruction configured to cause the W-AT to generate the user profile based at least in part upon the at least one refined profile attribute.
