    摘要: Embodiments of a system and method of tagging network traffic with relevant user demographic and location information for facilitating the delivery of directed media are described. A tag processing module within a router device coupling a client computer to a destination site served by a server computer intercepts a request from a client computer to a server computer over a network. The tag processing module determines a unique device identifier corresponding to the client computer, generates a local user identifier for the client computer by performing a one-way hashing operation on the unique device identifier, derives demographic and location information for a user of the client computer, generates a request identifier associated with the intercepted request by encrypting the local user identifier, demographic information and geographic location information in an alphanumeric string, and embeds the alphanumeric string in an extensible field of a packet within the request to generate a tagged request identifier.

    摘要: Embodiments are directed to a system and method of generating a global unique identifier (GUID) associated with web/network-related requests. In the context of processing a web-bound request associated with a browsing session, the method comprises receiving information associated with a device that initiated a web-bound request, extracting non-personal/device information during MAC/network layer processing, and creating an anonymous GUID based on the non-personal/device information. The GUID may be implemented as an alphanumeric string that is least partially encrypted and inserted in an extensible location of the HTTP data. The non-personal/device information includes one or more of data associated with a device/user, data related to the device, software on the device, or any user/input data that is resident on the device. The global persistence of the GUID is enabled as a function of extraction of non-personal/device data during MAC/network layer processing.

    摘要: Embodiments are directed to a method and system of providing a centralized consumer choice process covering multiple Internet-based content services. The method comprises transmitting a consumer choice notification message to a user, receiving an indication of consumer choice with regard to gathering, storing or sharing of consumer information and activity during user Internet activity, wherein the consumer choice may comprise one of an opt-out or opt-in selection, storing the indicated consumer choice in a customer relationship management module, and setting a protocol in a network routing device to tag network traffic bound for a remote Internet-based content service indicating the user's choice. In one embodiment, reception of the tag indicates to the Internet-based content services that the user has agreed to participate in the gathering, storing, or sharing of defined user information, and the absence of a tag indicates that the user has declined to participate in the gathering, storing, or sharing of defined user information. Alternatively, two different types of tags may be provided to indicate the user's choice with respect to opt-in or opt-out.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for network operation and information processing associated with global unique identifiers (GUIDs). In one exemplary embodiment, there is provided a method of inserting a UID into a web-bound request. Moreover, the method includes, in the context of processing a web-bound request associated with a browsing session, extracting non-personal/device information during MAC/network layer processing, processing an anonymous UID created based on the non-personal/device information, and inserting the UID in the HTTP header or other extensible locations within the web-bound request. Exemplary embodiments may also include enabling global persistence of the UID as a function of extraction of non-personal/device data during MAC/network layer processing.
