METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING AND FILTERING FORCED TRAFFIC DATA FROM NETWORK DATA
First Claim
1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
- filter data associated with an entity for a first predefined time period in response to an access by the entity at a first time to a preselected network location from a plurality of preselected network locations, the plurality of preselected network locations being associated with forced web traffic patterns; and
filter data associated with the entity for a second predefined time period in response to an access by the entity at a second time to a preselected network location from the plurality of preselected network locations during the first predefined time period, the second time being after the first time.

Abstract
A non-transitory processor-readable medium is provided that stores code representing instructions to be executed by a processor to filter data associated with an entity for a first predefined time period in response to an access by the entity at a first time to a preselected network location from a plurality of preselected network locations. The plurality of preselected network locations are associated with forced web traffic patterns. The processor is also caused to filter data associated with the entity for a second predefined time period in response to an access by the entity at a second time to a preselected network location from the plurality of preselected network locations during the first predefined time period. The second time is after the first time.

7. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
-
receive a first data associated with an access by an entity to a preselected network location from a plurality of preselected network locations, the plurality of preselected network locations being associated with forced web traffic patterns; send a first signal to filter data associated with the entity for a first predefined time period based, at least in part, on the first data; receive a second data associated with an access by the entity to a website location during the first predefined time period; and send a second signal to modify filtering of data associated with the entity based, at least in part, on the second data. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
-
for each preselected network location from a plurality of preselected network locations, receive data associated with an access to that preselected network location by an entity, during a first predefined time period; define a model of behavior for the entity based, at least in part, on the data; and send a signal to filter data associated with the entity for a second predefined time period based, at least in part, on the model of behavior of the entity. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
