TARGETED CONTENT DELIVERY MECHANISM BASED ON NETWORK APPLICATION DATA
First Claim
1. A system for delivering targeted content to a subscriber of the system, the system comprising:
- a service provider network coupling the subscriber'"'"'s computing device one or more communication networks;
a network application element deployed in the service provider network for processing network application data associated with a network identifier of the subscriber'"'"'s computing device, the network application data generated from user interaction with a server coupled to the service provider network or through a public communication network;
a data preparation element deployed in the service provider network for receiving the network application data from the network application element and generating web events associated with the network identifier based on the network application data, the web events conforming to a common data scheme;
a profiler coupled to the service provider network for maintaining a profile of the subscriber generated from the web events associated with the subscriber, the profile characterizing the subscriber'"'"'s interests inferred from a type of the network application data monitored by the network application element; and
a content server in communication with the profiler for selecting and delivering targeted content to the subscriber based upon the subscriber'"'"'s profile.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for delivering targeted content to a subscriber coupled to a service provider network. Network application data generated by the subscriber is received and processed by a network application element deployed in the service provider network associated with a network identifier of the subscriber'"'"'s computing device. The network application data is generated from user interaction with a server coupled to the service provider network or through a public communication network. The network application data is converted to web events associated with the network identifier. The web events are filtered to remove irrelevant data from received web events. A subscriber profile can then be generated base upon the filtered web events associated with the subscriber. Targeted content can then be delivered to the subscriber based upon the subscriber'"'"'s profile.

12. A computer implemented method of delivering targeted content to a subscriber coupled to a service provider network, the method comprising:
-
receiving and processing subscriber network application data generated from a subscriber'"'"'s computing device coupled to the service provider network; generating web events, by data preparation and event generation element, the web events based upon the received subscriber network application data; updating a subscriber profile using one or more profiling algorithms and the web events; and providing web content to a web server, in response to a content request based upon the subscriber profile. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
