Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system, method, and computer program for data communication, or "handshaking, " between a server and wireless devices on a wireless network. SOLUTION: When a wireless device communicates with a server, the server obtains data indicative of wireless device attributes from the wireless device and determines access of the wireless device, based on the wireless device attributes, to applications either resident on that server or on other computer devices on the wireless network.

Abstract:
A wireless communications device and method operable on the device to manage download requests for an application stored on a server over a wireless network are disclosed. The method includes the steps of sending a request to the server for download of an application and receiving a set of attributes describing a required runtime environment associated with the application. The required attributes are compared with attributes of the runtime environment supported by the communications device to determine whether the application is compatible with the device. If the application is compatible it is downloaded, otherwise downloading is blocked.
Abstract:
A system, method, and computer program for data communication, or "handshaking," between wireless devices (12) and a server on a wireless network (70, 72). Upon a wireless device (12) communicating with the server (72), the server obtains data from the wireless device (12) indicative of wireless device attributes (82), and the server determines access of the wireless device, based upon the wireless device attributes (90), to applications either resident on that server or on other computer devices on the wireless network (114).
Abstract:
An apparatus, method, and article of manufacture that provides an efficient way to invoice the users of a communication system 100 for the system resources consumed. 5 Invoicing is based upon flexible criteria that can be adapted depending upon the charges a resource provider charges. For example, 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 10 the application is used. These fees are recorded as debits and transferred to an invoicing location where an invoice reflecting the debits is constructed. For example, the debits may comprise fees for wireless service access, Internet service access, downloaded application programs, data, multimedia services, or other fees.

Un sistema, método y programa de computadora para la comunicación de datos, o "handshaking" entre dispositivos inalámbricos y un servidor en una red inalámbrica. En cuanto un dispositivo inalámbrico se comunica con el servidor, el servidor obtiene datos del dispositivo inalámbrico indicativos de los atributos del dispositivo inalámbrico, y el servidor determina el acceso del dispositivo inalámbrico, en base a los atributos del dispositivo inalámbrico, a las aplicaciones, las cuales pueden ser residentes en dicho servidor o ser residentes en otros dispositivos de computación en la red inalámbrica.

Abstract:
A telecommunications device and/or service enable a user to establish and maintain a profile which is then associated with the user or the user' s tele-communication device (the 'calling device'). The profile is stored on a profile server that is in communication with the telecommunications service provider. A receiving device receives a call from the calling device and is provided with the profile during call set-up. Some or all of the profile is used in connection with the incoming call on the receiving device. This feature is known as Enhanced Caller-ID or RCLID (Rich Calling Line Identification). Description focuses on mobile networks and the calling and called devices being mobile devices. The profile server is connected to the wireless network via a WAN (internet).
