Limiting access to digital resources based on unauthorized scraping
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11949678B2) outlines a computer-implemented method for restricting access to a digital resource by detecting unauthorized scraping activities. The method involves detecting interactions by a client device with the digital resource, comparing these interactions with authorized criteria, and assigning confidence scores based on the comparison. If a medium confidence score is reached, additional interactions are obtained for further verification. Subsequently, a second confidence score is determined, and if it indicates unauthorized scraping, access to the digital resource is limited. The patent also details various attributes considered during the detection process, such as time, location, device, client-specific, network, and business attributes.
Furthermore, the patent describes a system and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for implementing the method. The system includes memory devices storing instructions and processors executing these instructions to detect interactions, determine confidence scores, and restrict access based on unauthorized scraping detection. The system also considers attributes like time, location, device, client-specific, network, and business attributes during the process. The non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions for executing operations related to limiting access to a digital resource by detecting unauthorized scraping. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive approach to safeguarding digital resources by analyzing user interactions and identifying unauthorized scraping activities based on confidence scores and various attributes.
