Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for wireless network to uninstall an application program of a wireless telephone or the like. SOLUTION: Network-initiated uninstallation of programs is performed over a wireless network to recall programs stored on a wireless telephone that are faulty or harmful to the wireless telephone, the wireless network, or a user of the wireless telephone. A recall command includes a unique application identification for the targeted application program and an instruction to the wireless telephone to uninstall the targeted application program. The recall command is broadcast over the wireless network to the wireless telephones. In response to the recall command, the wireless telephone automatically uninstalls the targeted application program by executing a recall program on the wireless telephone (418).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus, and method to invoice the users of a communication system for the system resources consumed. SOLUTION: Invoicing is based upon flexible criteria that can be adapted depending upon the charges a resource provider charges. A user may incur a one-time charge for downloading a desired application program, or the user may be charged a download fee plus a recurring monthly fee for having continual access to the program and any updates to the program. A fee might also be charged for each time the application is used. These fees are recorded as debits and transferred to an invoicing location where an invoice reflecting the debits is constructed. The debits may include fees for wireless service access, Internet service access, download application programs, data, multimedia services, or other fees. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system, method, and computer program for collecting end-user opinions of applications and data in a wireless communications network. SOLUTION: A server 112 identifies an end-user who has purchased products and has downloaded software applications and/or data to a wireless device 106, and after the end-user has used the products for a prescribed period, collects opinion data through proactively sending out questionnaires and surveys to the user. The questionnaires and surveys are dispatched back to the server 112 after the user has filled them out. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for controlling a faulty or harmful application program downloaded onto a wireless telephone by means of network-initiated uninstallation. SOLUTION: Uninstallation of a program a network initiates on a remote module, such as a wireless telephone, is performed on a wireless network to recall a fault or a program stored in a wireless telephone that is harmful to the wireless telephone, the wireless network, or a user of the wireless telephone.

Abstract:
Un procedimiento para revocar remotamente uno o más programas de aplicación residentes en un módulo remoto (100), que comprende las operaciones de: identificar un programa (109) de aplicación como un programa de aplicación defectuoso, para el cual es necesaria una revocación como programa de aplicación seleccionado; identificar módulos remotos con el programa de aplicación seleccionado instalado en los mismos, buscando en una base (204) de datos que contiene un registro de identificadores (302) de aplicación que representan a cada programa de aplicación descargado en cualquier momento en cada módulo remoto en una red (200); construir un comando (216) de revocación iniciado en red que comprende un identificador de aplicación único para el programa de aplicación seleccionado, y una instrucción a los módulos remotos identificados, para desinstalar el programa de aplicación seleccionado al recibir el comando de revocación; y enviar el comando (216) de revocación a los módulos remotos identificados mediante una o más redes inalámbricas.
Abstract:
Network-initiated uninstallation of programs on remote modules, such as wireless telephones, is performed over a wireless network to recall programs stored on the wireless telephone that are faulty or harmful to the wireless telephone, the wireless network, or a user of the wireless telephone. If one or more recall criteria are met for uninstallation of a targeted application program, a recall command source constructs a recall command. A program manager, using a database containing information about each program downloaded onto each wireless telephone in the network, identifies, for the recall command source, which wireless telephones carry the targeted application program. The recall command includes a unique application identification for the targeted application program and an instruction to the wireless telephone to uninstall the targeted application program. The recall command is broadcast over the wireless network to the wireless telephones. In response to the recall command, the wireless telephone automatically uninstalls the targeted application program by executing a recall program on the wireless telephone.
Abstract:
El estimado de una longitud de tiempo específica del usuario, que se requiere para la transmisión de unos programas de aplicación del aire, en un módulo remoto, tal como un dispositivo inalámbrico es calculado en base a las velocidades de transferencia de datos para los archivos de datos que se envían por la red hacia el dispositivo inalámbrico que precede un programa de aplicación. La transferencia de las velocidades de transferencia de datos son calculadas mientras el usuario del dispositivo inalámbrico efectúa el barrido de los programas de aplicación para la transmisión y/o la adquisición. El dispositivo inalámbrico utiliza la velocidad de transferencia de datos y la información que representa el tamano de los programas de aplicación seleccionados para estimar una longitud de tiempo requerida para transmitir un programa de aplicación en un dispositivo inalámbrico, y despliega el estimado hacia el usuario.
Abstract:
A system, method, and computer program for collecting end-user opinions of applications and data in a wireless communications network. The system identifies the end-user who has downloaded software applications and/or data to a wireless device and collects end-user opinion preferably through the transmission of a targeted questionnaire to the wireless device.
Abstract:
Estimation of user-specific length of time required to download application program over-the-air onto a remote module, such as a wireless device, is calculated based on data transfer rates for data files sent over network to wireless device preceding a requested download of application program. Data transfer rates are calculated while user of wireless device browses application programs for download and/or purchase. Wireless device utilizes data transfer rates and information representing size of selected application program to estimate length of time required to download application program onto the wireless device and displays estimate to user.
