Proxy system and method for adaptive ambient services
First Claim
1. A system adapted for use as an Internet proxy, the system comprising one or more servers, the system adapted for use in classifying wireless data traffic associated with Internet access provided to a wireless end-user device, the one or more servers of the system configured to:
- associate the wireless end-user device with a wireless data service comprising a set of allowable Internet access destinations;
receive, at a proxy comprising one or more servers, a request from the wireless end-user device to access data from a first one of the allowable Internet access destinations;
provide the wireless end-user device access through the proxy to the first one of the allowable Internet access destinations;
measure, at the proxy, data traffic exchanged with the wireless end-user device following the request; and
classify the measured data traffic as associated with the first one of the allowable Internet access destinations;
wherein classification of the measured data traffic as associated with the first one of the allowable Internet access destination ends when (a) exchanged data traffic is no longer associated with the first one of the allowable Internet access destinations or (b) exchanged data traffic becomes associated with a second one of the allowable Internet access destinations.

Abstract
Adaptive ambient services are provided via a proxy. The proxy allows a wireless device to access, through the proxy, a set of Internet access destinations associated with a wireless data service. During such access, the proxy measures data traffic exchanged with the wireless device and classifies such traffic as associated with a one of the Internet access destinations that was accessed. According to adaptive rules, such classification continues until the traffic is no longer associated with that Internet access destination.

2. A method of classifying wireless data traffic associated with Internet access provided to a wireless end-user device, the method comprising:
-
associating the wireless end-user device with a wireless data service comprising a set of allowable Internet access destinations; receiving, at a proxy comprising one or more servers, a request from the wireless end-user device to access data from a first one of the allowable Internet access destinations; providing the wireless end-user device access through the proxy to the first one of the allowable Internet access destinations; measuring, at the proxy, data traffic exchanged with the wireless end-user device following the request; and classifying the measured data traffic as associated with the first one of the allowable Internet access destinations; wherein classifying the measured data traffic as associated with the first one of the allowable Internet access destination ends when (a) exchanged data traffic is no longer associated with the first one of the allowable Internet access destinations or (b) exchanged data traffic becomes associated with a second one of the allowable Internet access destinations. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
