Abstract
A method and system provides for monitoring access to particular network content and providing a summary of the rating of the content accessed. In one embodiment, a telecommunications network entity, such as a mobile access gateway, can identify one or more resources accessed by a wireless device. The gateway can then associate the one or more resources accessed by the wireless device with a rating for each of the resources, and the gateway can provide a summary of the ratings for the resources accessed by the wireless device.
Claims20
A method of monitoring resources accessed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
- identifying one or more resources accessed by the wireless device;
- associating the one or more resources accessed by the wireless device with a rating for each of the resources;
- using the ratings for a plurality of the resources accessed by the wireless device to summarize the ratings for the resources accessed by the wireless device;
- and
- providing a summary of the ratings for the resources accessed by the wireless device;
- wherein the rating indicates the suitability of the resource for presentation to a particular audience and is provided by an entity providing the resource.
A method comprising:
- (a) receiving a streaming media session request message from a wireless device into a gateway disposed within a wireless carrier's network, wherein the streaming media session request message requests particular streaming media;
- (b) proxying the streaming media session request message from the gateway to a streaming media server;
- (c) receiving into the gateway from the streaming media server a response to the streaming media session request message;
- (d) proxying the response from the gateway to the wireless client device;
- (e) storing a rating for the particular streaming media in the gateway and associating the rating with the wireless device;
- (f) repeating steps (a)-(e) one or more times;
- (g) using the ratings for the particular streaming media accessed by the wireless device to summarize the ratings for the particular streaming media accessed by the wireless device;
- and
- (h) providing a summary of the ratings for the streaming media accessed by the wireless device;
- wherein the rating indicates the suitability of the streaming media for presentation to a particular audience and is provided by an entity providing the streaming media.
A system adapted to sit within a communication path between a client device and a content server, the system comprising:
- at least one communication interface for (a) receiving from the client device a request for a resource, (b) proxying the request to a content server, (c) receiving a response from the content server, and (d) proxying the response to the client device;
- data storage;
- program logic stored in the data storage and executable by at least one processor (i) to identify the resource accessed by the client device, (ii) to associate the resource accessed by the client device with a rating for the resource, (iii) to repeat steps (i) and (ii) one or more times, (iv) to use a plurality of the ratings of the resources accessed by the client device to summarize the ratings for the resources accessed by the client device, and (v) to provide a summary of the ratings for a plurality of resources accessed by the client device;
- wherein the rating indicates the suitability of the resource for presentation to a particular audience and is provided by an entity providing the resource.
