Patent Images
1. A method of character differentiation of on-line communications originating from a subscriber access point coupled to a network, the method comprising:
- receiving user generated events from one of a plurality of computing devices coupled to the access point, each event associated with a subscriber identification (ID) and a session identification (ID), the events generated by a communication session between one of the plurality of computing devices and a communication endpoint through the network;
generating a session fingerprint using a plurality of received events for the associated subscriber ID and session ID wherein the session fingerprint comprises a feature vector based upon data contained in the received events; and
storing a character record comprising the generated fingerprint, an associated character identifier (ID) and the subscriber ID.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for character differentiation based on pattern recognition is provided. A sequence of events is received that have been generated from a given session or connection and determines if the sequence of events is likely to have come from an existing, known character, or if the events are from a previously unknown character. A character identifier (ID) is tagged onto (i.e. associated with) the event for further processing in another system that can, for example, provide different content based on the identified character and an associated preference profile.
