Abstract

Data may be processed based on a type of application, a user, a type of device, a user profile, and/or a device profile. Data may be processed, in real time as it is received. The data may be segmented and/or partitioned into portions. For each portion, a user identifier associated with the portion may be determined. For each portion, an application associated with the portion may be determined. For each portion, a device associated with the portion may be determined. It may be determined whether a portion of the data is to be further processed based on the user identifier, the application, and/or the device. A portion of data that is to be further processed may be prioritized, directed to specific processing, and/or classified. Subsequent procession, and/or storage, of a portion of data may be based a result of at least one of the prioritizing, the directing, and/or the classifying.

Claims

an application associated with a portion of the data;

or

a device associated with a portion of the data;

for each portion of the data associated with a same user identifier, determining whether to further process each portion of the data associated with the same user identifier;

for each portion of the data associated with a same application, determining whether to further process each portion of the data associated with the same application; and

for each portion of the data associated with a same device, determining whether to further process each portion of the data associated with the same device.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, the operations further comprising:

for each portion of data for which further processing is determined;

prioritizing the each portion of the data;

directing processing of the each portion of the data;

or

classifying the each portion of the data.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, the operations further comprising:

subsequent to the prioritizing, sequentially processing the each portion of the prioritized data in priority order, wherein prioritizing is based on at least one of;

the user identifier associated with the each portion of the data;

the application associated with the each portion of the data;

or

the device associated with the each portion of the data.

4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein sequentially processing each portion comprises, based on a priority of each portion of the data, one of:

storing the each portion of the data;

or

further processing the each portion of the data.

5. The apparatus of claim 2, the operations further comprising:

directing processing of the each portion of the data to one of a plurality of processing functions based at least on;

a value assigned to the device associated with the portion of the data;

a value of the application associated with the portion of the data;

or

a value of the user identifier associated with the portion of the data.

6. The apparatus of claim 2, the operations further comprising:

classifying the each portion of the data based at least on;

the device associated with the portion of the data;

the application associated with the portion of the data;

or

the user identifier associated with the portion of the data.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, the operations further comprising:

when it is determined to further process each portion of the data, performing one of;

storing the each portion of the data;

discarding the each portion of the data;

or

subsequently processing the each portion of the data.

8. A method comprising:

processing data, as the data is received, to determine at least one of;

a user identifier associated with a portion of the data;

an application associated with a portion of the data;

or

a device associated with a portion of the data;

for each portion of the data associated with a same user identifier, determining whether to further process each portion of the data associated with the same user identifier;

for each portion of the data associated with a same application, determining whether to further process each portion of the data associated with the same application; and

for each portion of the data associated with a same device, determining whether to further process each portion of the data associated with the same device.

9. The method of claim 8, the operations further comprising:

for each portion of data for which further processing is determined;

prioritizing the each portion of the data;

directing processing of the each portion of the data;

or

classifying the each portion of the data.

10. The method of claim 9, the operations further comprising:

subsequent to the prioritizing, sequentially processing the each portion of the prioritized data in priority order, wherein prioritizing is based on at least one of;

the user identifier associated with the each portion of the data;

the application associated with the each portion of the data;

or

the device associated with the each portion of the data.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein sequentially processing each portion comprises, based on a priority of each portion of the data, one of:

storing the each portion of the data;

or

further processing the each portion of the data.

12. The method of claim 9, the operations further comprising:

directing processing of the each portion of the data to one of a plurality of processing functions based at least on;

a value assigned to the device associated with the portion of the data;

a value of the application associated with the portion of the data;

or

a value of the user identifier associated with the portion of the data.

13. The method of claim 9, the operations further comprising:

classifying the each portion of the data based at least on;

the device associated with the portion of the data;

the application associated with the portion of the data;

or

the user identifier associated with the portion of the data.

14. The method of claim 8, the operations further comprising:

when it is determined to further process each portion of the data, performing one of;

storing the each portion of the data;

discarding the each portion of the data;

or

subsequently processing the each portion of the data.

15. A computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:

processing data, as the data is received, to determine at least one of;

a user identifier associated with a portion of the data;

an application associated with a portion of the data;

or

a device associated with a portion of the data;

for each portion of the data associated with a same user identifier, determining whether to further process each portion of the data associated with the same user identifier;

for each portion of the data associated with a same application, determining whether to further process each portion of the data associated with the same application; and
