Claim Text:
1. A method of providing user information from a wireless access terminal (W-AT) to a remote apparatus without revealing a primary identity of a user of the W-AT, the method comprising: generating, on the W-AT, an alternate user identifier for the W-AT, wherein the alternate user identifier is configured to hide the primary identity from devices external to the W-AT, and wherein any alternate user identifier that is associated with the W-AT is generated only on the W-AT, and is not provided to the W-AT by any of the devices external to the W-AT in association with the primary identity; generating first information on the W-AT based on at least one of targeted-content-message information on the W-AT or user profile information on the W-AT; providing the alternate user identifier and the first information to the remote apparatus without associating the alternate user identifier with the primary identity, wherein the generating of the alternate user identifier includes scrambling the primary identity based on a variable value; and providing one or more additional messages, subsequent to the providing of the first information, using a same variable value such that the providing of the first information and the providing of the one or more additional messages are identifiable as being from a same client.
