摘要:
A method, in the field of communications services, for linking several electronic and information components (including communication network elements, servers, databases and software) to implement a service for, dynamically and selectively, imposing supplementary call charges on behalf of subscribers to the network; whether for self-employed, competent experts, other categories of content provider, or any individuals or organizations receiving communications. Such supplementary tariffs are levied on those calling telephone numbers dynamically and selectively dedicated for this purpose, providing called parties with a way to collect fees for the information they provide to calling parties. The method enables the operating party (a Value added service provider) in partnership with the mobile operator to collect these revenues on behalf of and to share this revenue with, the called subscriber.
摘要:
A portable telephone equipped with a communication section used for communication inside and outside a country that includes an acquisition section configured to acquire information on a communications company that can be connected at the time of connection to a base station, a judgment section judges whether or not the acquired information on the communications company indicates a communications company for which flat-rate data communication is accessible, and a connection control section performs connection by the communication section to the communications company indicated by the acquired information on the communications company and sets that flat-rate data communication is accessible when judged YES by the judgment section, and conversely performs connection by the communication section to the communications company indicated by the acquired communications company information and sets that flat-rate data communication is not accessible when judged NO by judgment section.

摘要:
A home network may track data usage in real time by a wireless mobile communication device while roaming in a GSM network that is separate from the home network. A Home Location Register (HLR) may receive location information indicative of the location of the wireless mobile communication device in the GSM network. An Online Charging System (OCS) may receive the location information directly or indirectly from the Home Location Register. The Online Charging System may use this location information to determine data rates and cutoff limits which are consistent with subscriber plans and are based on the location of the mobile communication device. This information may be communicated to roaming subscribers in real time and/or used to cut off data communication.

A computationally implemented system and method that is designed to, but is not limited to: electronically processing mobile operating system object code at least partially from mobile device storage to direct to one or more origination mobile communication device display surfaces an origination mobile communication device user interface presentation of communication characteristics information regarding one or more mobile operating system based communication devices for operation as one or more ad hoc intermediary relays of one or more fallback communication networks upon initiation thereof for communication between an origination mobile communication device and a destination electronic communication device. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

摘要:
Apparatus, methods, computer readable media and processors operable on a wireless device may provide an anti-spam engine operable to intercept content intended for and/or generated by client applications, and filter out unwanted content. The anti-spam engine may include a configurable module having a spam filter that may determine whether content is unwanted. Based on the result of subjecting the content to the spam filter, the anti-spam engine may forward the content to the intended client application and/or a network destination, and/or may generate a spam log. The anti-spam module may be further operable to forward the spam log to another device, such as a user manager device, operable to analyze the log and generate a report which may be viewable by an operator.

Systems and methods for providing content provider charged web content to a mobile device are disclosed. A mobile routing server receives a request for a mobile device to access web content associated with a content provider. The mobile routing server determines whether the request is associated with a provider-charged gateway. If the request is associated with the provider-charged gateway, the mobile routing server provides access to the web content via the provider-charged gateway and signals a billing server to charge an account associated with the content provider for data charges associated with the access to the web content. If the request is not associated with the provider-charged gateway, the mobile routing server provides access to the web content via a regular Internet gateway and signals the billing server to charge an account associated with the mobile device for the data charges associated with the access to the web content.
摘要:
An objective of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for performing independent roaming charts for a roaming user equipment roaming in a VPLMN, a visited charging device acquires roaming service usage information of the roaming user equipment in the VPLMN from a visited PCEF, wherein the roaming user equipment roams to the VPLMN, and the visited charging device and the visited PCEF correspond to the VPLMN; the visited charging device determines roaming charging information of the roaming user equipment in the VPLMN based on a roaming charging policy, corresponding to the roaming user equipment, and the roaming service usage information. Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an innovative policy and charging method, the roaming charging plan may be directly managed and controlled by the roaming operator in its own charging system, instead of being managed and controlled by the home operator, so as to support new EU roaming rules and meanwhile satisfy the requirements of the rules and of the operators.
