Technical field

Described embodiment relates generally to radio communication device and computer network, and more precisely, relates to detect equipment and the method for the unauthorized content on wireless device.

Background technology

One or more wireless devices are connected to other computer installation without directly electrical connector such as such as copper cash or optical cable etc. by Wireless Networking. Wireless device generally transmits data with packet form by wireless or part radio computer network, and opens " data " or " communication " channel on the network so that device can send and receive packet. Wireless device is generally of wireless device resources (such as program and nextport hardware component NextPort), described resource individually and be collaboratively operated with according to its design and concrete agreement or configuration use and produce data, for instance use open communication connect come on network launch and receive data.

Wireless device is just being fabricated as the computing capability with increase, and just become to be equal to personal computer, and comprise such as internet browsing, Transit time flow meter (" IM "), Email and text message transmission and (comprise short message service and many

Media information business transferring (" SMS/MMS ")) etc. feature. Because this category feature is conducive to directly contacting with wireless device, so these messaging client have become as without permission, the target of unsolicited and undesirable message and/or virus (referred to herein as " junk information ") in most instances.

Junk information sends to be defined as roughly and uses any electronic communication media to come the uncalled message of Batch sending and/or virus, and according to definition, it occurs when permitting without recipient. Send rather than the marketing of any specific aim although its usage is normally limited to indiscriminate bulk mail, but term " junk information " may refer to any be considered unnecessary and undesirable business directed, uncalled bulk mail sends. Although the most common form of junk information is by email delivery, but spammer has been developed over various junk information transmission technology, and it is different according to media: e-mail spam information, Transit time flow meter junk information, newsgroup's junk information, network search engines junk information, network log junk information and mobile phone message transmission junk information.

Junk information by means of Email relates to send the junk information of the type of identical (or almost identical) message to thousands of (or millions of) recipient. Spammer is generally posted from newsgroup and/or the address of collecting web page expection recipient, obtains address from data base, or simply by using common name and domain name conjecture address.

The Transit time flow meter such as Messenger, AIM, MSNMessenger and ICQ (" IM ") system is the frequent goal of spammer. Many IM systems can provide User Catalog, wherein comprises the such as demographic information such as age and sex. This information can be collected by advertiser, information is registered in systems, and sends uncalled message.

The mobile phone junk information of some form is included in the junk information that mobile phone text messaging service place guides, and it is likely to make user detest especially, reason is not only in that its inconvenience caused, but also because user is likely to be necessary for reception unsolicited and the paying of usual undesirable text message. Mobile phone junk information is likely to and comprises any kind of content that can be received by mobile phone, for instance audio content, video content, software program etc. and combination thereof.

Some message analysis that carry out are to protect network to comprise fingerprint verification and rule-based scoring from the method that junk information is attacked. Technique of fingerprint indentification obtains " digital picture " of each message and it is mated with known spam messages profile, to detect undesirable Email and to be marked as junk information. Rule-based scoring relates to the data base of comparison junk information rule and marks for message, and the specific characteristic based on junk information and legitimate email distributes mark to message. When the mark of message exceedes the threshold value defined in advance, it is marked as junk information.

The anti-spam filter method major part of wireless user device rank completes already by being incorporated to anti-spam module in each messaging client application program. But, if anti-spam code is incorporated in each client application (such as, Email, MMS, SMS and IM) in, then can slattern a large amount of valuable hand-held device storage device/memorizer when performing substantially identical function (namely anti-spam filters).

In addition, if the functional of anti-spam module is confined to after wireless device receives junk information just it is filtered, then filter and cannot solve because of the problem of the network blockage caused through a large amount of junk information of network, and this problem is the same with junk information problem serious even more serious. When exist millions of for the spam content example of the wireless device of a large amount of equally and increasing number of client application with some consumption contents, the network for specific bandwidth (plus a little extra bandwidth) the accurately custom-made by size of legitimate correspondence amount is likely in the urgent need to maintaining design object service quality.

Owing to junk information may affect the performance of given wireless network, thus each wireless service provider can define and provide the customized content filter that will be used by any wireless device of operation on its wireless network.

In another example, described content filter can change according to the hardware characteristics of given wireless device. For example, as the hardware characteristics such as processor type/ability, speaker types/ability, ringer type/ability, type of display/ability and type of memory/ability may have influence on whether given wireless device can effectively process given content. For example, may call for by the sound of the given ringer generation being associated with given wireless device, and therefore for described setter, described given content can not to be considered as junk information including the given content of given the tinkle of bells. Therefore, the given content that the hardware characteristics of a wireless device is adversely affected can be classified as junk information for described device, and be likely to for another wireless device with different hardware feature, same content is classified as non-spam.

Similarly, content filter can change according to the predetermined characteristic being associated with content destination. For example, when the incoming content received by wireless device, the predetermined characteristic being associated with content destination can include the mark of (such as) resident destination's client application on the wireless device. In other words, define or classify as junk information content can according to described content whether with browser not text message transmission client change for destination. When spreading out of content and being intended to launch from wireless device, the predetermined characteristic being associated with content destination can include the number of the content destination that (such as) is associated with content. In other words, the duplicate exceeding predetermined number sending same content can be defined as junk information to send.

Similarly, content filter can change according to the hardware requirement being associated with content. For example, hardware requirement can include (such as) following at least one: wireless device processor type/capability/capacity use, audio-frequency assembly type/ability/use, video component type/ability/use and wireless device memory type/ability/use. In other words, for example, junk information can be defined as the capacity exceeding scheduled volume requiring to use in the total capacity of given wireless device hardware resource. Owing to using excessive capacity, the overall performance of wireless device may be adversely affected by given content, and/or may affect the performance of other application program performed on the wireless device.

For example, content filter configuration file 170 can comprise one group by no matter, how the destination of content is applied to the parameter of all the elements. Or, content filter configuration file 170 can comprise one group of specific parameter of destination, and it can receive one or more content destinatioies the resident client application 140 (Fig. 2) of content and/or wireless network 101 corresponding to one or more from network 101.

Thus, in some respects, it is one or more that content filter configuration file 170 can comprise in following parameter: content destination 172, it identifies the network equipment on the client application 140 corresponding to given group of parameter and/or wireless network 101, in order to specifying the content application given group parameter for corresponding contents destination; Content filter 182, it identifies the content filter being applied to corresponding contents; Predetermined filter test result 174, it is associated with given content filter and/or content destination, wherein predetermined filter test result 174 is and passes through to transmitting to and or from the limit that filter test result produced by content application content filter 182 compares, and wherein predetermined filter test result 174 defines junk information and non-spam content; Storage limiting parameter 176, it is associated with segregate spam content, for instance storage limiting parameter 176 may indicate that the natural law keeping being isolated content before being automatically deleted content, and/or may indicate that for storing the maximum storage being isolated content; Report Parameters 178, it defines corresponding to what information is any junk information detected to record, and when forwards daily record for analyzing, forwarding daily record to whom and/or allow whose access log; And configuration identifier (ID) 171 (one or more in such as title, version etc.), it identifies the given group of parameter being associated with given configuration.

Can operating anti-spam engine 138 based at least one in some junk information testing mechanisms, described mechanism is referred to herein as content filter 182. In certain aspects, content filter 182 includes the software mechanism for content 160 classifies as junk information or non-spam. In certain aspects, content 160 can be passed through content filter 182 and run to produce filter test result 188, and described result is based on what one group of pre-defined rule (that is, filter mechanism) calculated.

Exist many for by technology that content classification is junk information or non-spam. These technology are represented by content filter 182, and including but not limited to: Host Based filtration; Rule-based filtration; Bayes (Bayesian) statistical analysis; Noise filter; And sender policy framework (" SPF ") or transmitting side marking (ID) filter. For example, Host Based filter and the rule-based filter scope of examination are to find " junk information mark ", for instance common junk information theme, known junk information send address, known email relaying machine or be simply common junk information phrase. In one aspect, for instance when content includes message, can check that title and/or the main body of described message indicate to find these. Other method is to be junk information by all content classifications from unknown address.

The content that other people are had been received by by bayesian filtering compares to find common spam content, and realizes this operation by a large amount of junk information and a large amount of non-spam are marked. Bayesian filtering theory behind is, specific markers will be common in spam content, and will be uncommon in non-spam content, and other specific markers will be common in non-spam content, and will be uncommon in spam content. When content is classified, it is marked to check that described labelling is the labelling more like spam content or the labelling more like non-spam content.

Noise filter is a kind of form of bayes filter, and it is aimed at the junk information containing the many random word being rarely employed in marketing. Spammer is wished by reducing distribution language and hindering bayes filter by making junk information appear to individual's mail as far as possible. Bayes's noise reduction filter adopts three key steps. First step is model learning, wherein sets up model and is learnt its layout by filter. Second step can use learn to model and layout is not met text model belonging to it labelling perform " duplications " or elimination. 3rd step can from sampling until stop mark and perform to eliminate to data simultaneously. Once reach to stop mark, the length simultaneously eliminated can be performed specific checking to determine whether and elimination should be made to become permanent.

Sender policy framework (" SPF ") or transmitting side marking (ID) filter are forged for return path address and are protected, and make to be easier to identify deceptive practices. The server that SPF sends mail by making the domain name owner identify in name server (" DNS ") operates. Information like this is checked envelope sender address by SMTP recipient, and can distinguish true content and falsified content before transmitting any content-data.
