Patent ID: 8266673

Claim:
A system, comprising: an engine that performs deep packet inspection on a data flow associated with a service request received from a mobile communication device based on a privacy rule selected via the mobile communication device, and generates a subset of service-related results that is customized based on the deep packet inspection performed on the data flow, wherein the privacy rule indicates a defined level for the deep packet inspection performed on the data flow, and wherein the engine evaluates the privacy rule related to the service request and contained in a user privacy profile associated with a user of the mobile communication device, determines whether modification of the privacy rule, including modification of the defined level of the deep packet inspection performed on the data flow to a deeper level of deep packet inspection, enables additional information beyond the subset of information to be provided to the mobile communication device in response to the service request, and provides a suggestion to modify the privacy rule to a different privacy rule in response to a determination that modification of the privacy rule to the different privacy rule enables the additional information to be provided to the mobile communication device in response to the service request, wherein the different privacy rule is associated with the deeper level of the deep packet inspection on the data flow than the defined level of the deep packet inspection associated with the privacy rule; and a network component that provides the subset of service-related results to the mobile communication device.
