"Method and System for Measuring Market-Share for an Entire Telecommunication Market" was invented by Kevin Hannan (San Mateo, Calif.), Jerome Baccelli (Berkeley, Calif.), Ranney Fry (Sausalito, Calif.), Laura Taylor (Alameda, Calif.) and Tran Thi Truong (Brookline, Mass.).
According to the abstract released by the U.
S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for collecting data to measure market-share for a defined telecommunication market. A market of interest is defined and a random panel of numbers is created. A call set-up is initiated to the created random panels by generating signaling messages wherein the signaling messages access a Calling Name Services (CNAM) database, a Local Number Portability (LNP) database, an E-911 Automated Location Information (ALI) database and a Line Information Database (LIDB) using signaling system 7 (SS7) protocol. Generated signaling messages access ENUM (Telephone Number Mapping) database and Internet Protocol (IP) Peering database using IP. The response to the generated signaling messages are used to determine assignment status, business ownership, businesses versus residential status and the technology employed for a given number in the created panel. In one embodiment, the process is repeated over a period in order to determine changes to the market-share and derivative metrics for the telecommunication market."
The patent was filed on May 31, 2006, under Application No. 11/445,069.
