Patent ID: 7835313

Claim:
A method of extracting Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) data, comprising the steps of: (a) capturing all data packets passing through a WAP gateway; (b) performing primary filtering by determining whether each of the captured data packets uses an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the given WAP gateway as an intermediate IP address, or has a port corresponding to a WAP protocol; (c) determining whether a Mobile Identification Number (MIN) is present in a header of a data packet filtered at the primary filtering step; (d) determining whether the MIN is identical to a registered MIN if the MIN is determined to be present in the step (c); (e) registering an IP address or a port number included in the header while storing the data packet if the MIN is determined to be identical to the registered MIN in the step (d); and (f) performing secondary filtering on the data packet having the IP address or the port number, and storing a data packet filtered through the secondary filtering.
