PREVENTING DATA MANIPULATION AND PROTECTING USER PRIVACY IN TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK MEASUREMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18511465 titled 'PREVENTING DATA MANIPULATION AND PROTECTING USER PRIVACY IN TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK MEASUREMENTS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application abstract describes a method for generating telecommunication network measurements, involving a client device initiating a call to a specified phone number through a digital component, with reports being sent to a reporting system based on the call.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
- Client device initiates a call using a digital component. - Trusted program stores data specifying phone number and reporting system. - Detection of phone call to specified number triggers report transmission.
- Potential applications of this technology:
- Telecommunication network monitoring and analysis. - Call tracking and reporting for marketing campaigns.
- Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient tracking of calls initiated by digital components. - Streamlining reporting processes for telecommunication network measurements.
- Benefits of this technology:
- Improved accuracy in tracking call data. - Enhanced efficiency in generating and sending reports.
- Potential commercial applications of this technology:
- Telecommunication companies for network optimization. - Marketing agencies for campaign performance analysis.
- Possible prior art:
- Similar systems may exist for call tracking and reporting in telecommunication networks.
Questions: 1. How does the trusted program ensure the security and privacy of the stored data? 2. Can this method be easily integrated with existing telecommunication systems and networks?
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure relates to generating telecommunication network measurements. In one aspect, a method includes presenting, by a client device, a digital component that, when interacted with, initiates a call by the client device to a phone number specified by the digital component. A trusted program stores, in a presentation event data structure, a presentation event data element specifying the phone number and resource locator for a reporting system to which reports for the digital component are sent. The trusted program detects a phone call by the client device to a given phone number. The given phone number is compared to one or more presentation event data elements stored in the presentation event data structure. A determination is made that the given phone number matches the phone number specified by the digital component. In response, an event report is transmitted to the reporting system.
