Patent

CA 2469026

The present invention relates to a method and system for providing content services to mobile devices while ensuring user privacy. The method and system allows one or more content providers (14, 16) that provide the content services (18) to collect payment (26). A user makes a request for content from an affiliated content provider (14). The request travels from the wireless device (12) thru one or more wireless infrastructure devices (10) until it arrives as a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request over an Ethernet to a proxy server (22). The proxy server (22) then requests the source Internet Protocol (IP) address of the wireless device (12). The proxy server then sends the IP address to an identity agent and is given a user identifier (UID) to that IP address. The proxy server (22) then looks at the HTTP request to determine IP address for the content provider. A unique content provider- specific identifier (SUBNYM) is calculated as the UID and the service ID. The subnym is attached to the HTTP request by means of inserting an additional header to the request. The affiliated content provider uses the subnym to determine the identity of the user.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système destinés à fournir des services de contenu à des dispositifs mobiles tout en garantissant la confidentialité de l'utilisateur. Ce procédé et ce système permettent à un ou à plusieurs fournisseurs (14, 16) de contenu fournissant des services (18) de contenu de recevoir un paiement (26). Un utilisateur fait une demande de contenu à un fournisseur (14) de contenu affilié. La demande passe du dispositif (12) sans fil à travers un ou plusieurs dispositifs (10) à infrastructure sans fil jusqu'à arriver sous forme de demande HTTP sur un réseau à un serveur proxy (22). Le serveur proxy (22) demande alors l'adresse IP source du dispositif (12) sans fil. Le serveur proxy envoie alors l'adresse IP à un agent d'identification et reçoit un identificateur d'utilisateur (UID) à cette adresse IP. Le serveur proxy (22) examine alors la demande HTTP afin de déterminer l'adresse IP pour le fournisseur de services. Un identificateur particulier spécifique au fournisseur (SUBNYM) est calculé en tant que UID et ID de service. L'identificateur SUBNYM est rattaché à la demande HTTP par insertion d'un en-tête supplémentaire à la demande. Le fournisseur de services de contenu affilié utilise l'identificateur SUBNYM pour déterminer l'identité de l'utilisateur.
