Abstract: A mobile device identifier (such as an MSISDN) that typically accompanies a mobile device request is replaced with an "enriched" identifier that exposes the mobile device user's home operator but obfuscates the mobile device's (and, thus, the device user's) identity. In one embodiment, the identifier comprises a first part, and a second part. The first part comprises a data string that identifies (either directly or through a database lookup) the mobile device user's home operator. The second part, however, is an opaque data string, such as a one-time-use unique identifier (UID) or a value that is otherwise derived as a function of the MSISDN (or the like). The opaque data string encodes the mobile device's identity in a manner that preferably can be recovered only by the user's home operator. The present invention describes a method and apparatus for use in a home network to manage the generation, storage and use of the unique identifiers.

Abstract translation: 通常伴随移动设备请求的移动设备标识符（例如，MSISDN）被暴露于移动设备用户的本地操作员但是模糊移动设备（以及因此设备用户的身份）的“丰富”标识符所替代。 在一个实施例中，标识符包括第一部分和第二部分。 第一部分包括标识（直接地或通过数据库查找）移动设备用户的本地操作员的数据串。 然而，第二部分是不透明的数据串，例如一次性使用的唯一标识符（UID）或另外被导出为MSISDN（或类似的）的函数的值）。 不透明数据串以优选仅由用户的家庭运营商恢复的方式对移动设备的身份进行编码。 本发明描述了一种在家庭网络中用于管理唯一标识符的生成，存储和使用的方法和装置。

The opaque data string encodes the mobile device's identity in a manner that preferably can be recovered only by the user's home operator (or an entity authorized thereby). When the mobile device user roams into a foreign network, that network receives the enriched identifier in lieu of an MSISDN. The foreign network uses the first part to identify the mobile device user's home network, e.g., to determine whether to permit the requested access (or to provide some other value-added service). The foreign network, however, cannot decode the second part; thus, the mobile device's identity (as well as the identity of the mobile device user) remains obscured. This ensures that the user's privacy is maintained, while preventing third parties from building a profile of the device based on the requests that include the MSISDN or similar identifier.

Abstract: Un identificador del dispositivo móvil (tal como un MSISDN), que acompaña típicamente la petición de un dispositivo móvil, es reemplazado por un identificador "enriquecido" que expone el operador doméstico del usuario del dispositivo móvil, pero oculta la identidad del dispositivo móvil (y, de este modo, el usuario del dispositivo). En una modalidad, el identificador incluye una primera parte, y una segunda parte. La primera parte incluye una cadena de datos que identifica (ya sea directamente o a través de una búsqueda de base de datos) el operador doméstico del usuario del dispositivo móvil. Sin embargo, la segunda parte es una cadena opaca de datos, tal como un identificador único de un solo uso (UID, por sus siglas en ingles) o un valor que es derivado de otra manera como una función del MSISDN (o un identificador semejante). La cadena opaca de datos codifica la identidad del dispositivo móvil de manera que preferentemente puede recuperarse sólo por el operador doméstico del usuario (o una entidad autorizada para ello). Cuando el usuario del dispositivo móvil se mueve hacia una red externa, esta red recibe el identificador enriquecido en lugar de un MSISDN. La red externa utiliza la primera parte para identificar la red doméstica del usuario del dispositivo móvil, por ejemplo, para determinar sí se permite el acceso solicitado (o sé provee algún otro servicio de valor agregado). No obstante, la red externa no puede decodificar la segunda parte; de este modo, la identidad del dispositivo móvil (así como la identidad del usuario del dispositivo móvil) permanece obscura. Esto asegura que la privacidad del usuario es mantenida, mientras se previene que terceros constituyan un perfil del dispositivo en base a las peticiones que incluyen el MSISDN o un identificador similar.

Abstract: A search dynamically locates resources (e.g., logical units (LUs) and transaction programs and files associated with LUs) in a computer network so that a session can be established between the origin and the destination of the search. The network includes end nodes associated with server nodes,and a resource contained in any node is located by a requesting node. The requesting node initiates a search of the resources residing within itself. If the resource does not reside in the requesting node, the server node searches the resources known to the server node that reside anywhere in the network. If the resource is not known by the server node, it searches all resources that reside in its associated end nodes. If the resource does not reside in the associated end nodes, either a request is sent to a central directory if one exists or a search of all resources in the network is made.
