Technology to respond to a termination reason of an accounting record via an improved charging component is disclosed. The disclosed subject matter can be backwards compatible to support responding to a conventional SIP BYE method and a conventional SIP CANCEL method. Additionally, the disclosed subject matter can respond to other SIP methods, empty reason-headers, etc. In an aspect, a reason-header can be forced into an accounting record based on received session termination information. In an embodiment, the reason-header can be determined to satisfy a rule related to acceptable reason-headers. Where the rule is determined to be unsatisfied, a query can be generated toward a device that supported the now terminated communication, wherein a response to the query can comprise another reason-header that can be determined to satisfy the rule. The accounting record can be updated based on the other reason-header and employed in generating a charging data record that can alter corresponding billing.

The present disclosure relates to node deduplication based on a node merging policy. A plurality of node profiles may be maintained. Each node profile may include plurality of fields. Each field of the plurality of fields may include one or more values. For a node profile including one or more field-value pairs, each field-value pair may be identified. Each field-value pair may include a value of a field. A respective weight may be assigned to each field-value pair based on a number of field-value pairs or a confidence score. Based on the respective weights assigned to each field-value pair, it may be determined that node profiles satisfy a node profile merging policy. The node profiles may be merged based on the node profiles satisfying the node profile merging policy. Field-value pairs including a value of a field may be identified.

A method of interpreting an authorization token is described herein. The service can receive an authorization token from a client device, and validate a signature of the authorization token. The service can identify an allowed function value associated at least part of an entitlement representation contained in a body of the authorization token. The service can convert the allowed function value to an allowed function bitmask that includes bits at a plurality of bit positions that are set to values indicating whether the subscriber element has attributes associated with each of the plurality of bit positions on a predefined attribute list. The service can determine whether the allowed function bitmask indicates that the subscriber element has one or more qualifying attributes that entitle a user of the client device to access the service.

The disclosure provides a system and method for metering on a prepaid wireless access point the amount of data transferred between a wireless device and the Internet and inhibiting further data transmission when the amount of prepaid data available reaches or drops below a pre-determined threshold. Specifically, the wireless access point includes a metering client to track one of data usage or an amount of prepaid data available. When the metering client indicates that the amount of data available has dropped below a pre-determined threshold, the wireless access point inhibits further data transmission.

The proposed solution relates to a method and an apparatus in a communication system. The solution comprises creating (400) a bearer for user terminal communication; transmitting (402) a credit control request message to Online Charging System, storing (404) the message to a transmission buffer, receiving (406) a credit control answer message as a reply to the request message and, if the credit control answer message comprises an error code: opening (412) a charging data record and timestamping the opening with the time the bearer was created, copying (414) the message from the transmission buffer to the charging data record, adding (416) information regarding rating groups affected by the error to the charging data record as containers and closing the containers and updating (418) result code-field of the charging data record according to the error code.

The present disclosure relates to restricting generation and delivery of insights to data source providers. Electronic activities and record objects may be accessed. Each record object may correspond to a record object type and have one or more object field-value pairs. Node profiles may be maintained. Updates to a node graph or corresponding to a record object may be detected. A number of data source providers having respective electronic activities or record objects from which the update to the node graph or corresponding to the record object can be determined. Provisioning of a content item to a second data source provider may be restricted.

Methods and devices for redirecting calls made to a customer service center of an enterprise include monitoring activities of a mobile device user, predicting (e.g., based on the monitored activities, information stored in memory, or information received from another device, etc.) a reason that the mobile device user has commenced calling the customer service center or will commence calling the customer service center in the near future, selecting a media element based on the predicted reason that the mobile device user has commenced calling the customer service center or will commence calling the customer service center in the near future, and rendering the selected media element on a screen of a mobile device of the mobile device user prior to completing a call to the customer service center associated with the enterprise and until the mobile device user interacts with the mobile device or the rendered media element.

This disclosure describes a video interconnect system that may establish a Video over Long Term Evolution (ViLTE) communication session between two interacting client devices. In some examples, the video interconnect system may selectively establish a ViLTE communication based on one or more rules associated with the domain information of interacting client devices, availability of network bandwidth, bandwidth consumption of a video component of the ViLTE communication, or established service agreements between telecommunication service providers of the interacting client devices. Further, the video interconnect system may facilitate generating termination charges for a video and/or audio communication session of a ViLTE communication. For example, a video component of the ViLTE communication may be charged and metered based on data usage, and an audio component of the ViLTE communication may be charged and metered based on the duration and relative location of the interacting client devices.

The system described herein can automatically match, link, or otherwise associate electronic activities with one or more record objects. For an electronic activity that is eligible or qualifies to be matched with one or more record objects, the system can identify one or more set of rules or rule sets. Using the rule sets, the system can identify candidate record objects. The system can then rank the identified candidate record objects to select one or more record objects with which to associate the electronic activity. The system can then store an association between the electronic activity and the selected one or more record objects.

This disclosure relates to methods, systems, and storage media for generating a performance profile of a node profile. First electronic activities linked to a first node profile can be accessed. For each first electronic activity, a type of the first electronic activity can be determined. A feature extraction policy can be selected to generate a first feature array for the first electronic activity. The first feature array for the first electronic activity can be generated based on the type of the first electronic activity. A first performance profile of the first node profile can be generated for the time period by providing the generated first feature array for each first electronic activity to one or more models trained using second feature arrays corresponding to second electronic activities of second node profiles. An association between the first node profile and the first performance profile can be stored.
