Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for generating and responding to billing requests in a wireless subscriber billing system.SOLUTION: A billing request is generated at a trusted service. The billing request including billing information is communicated to a wireless subscriber billing system. A validation response to the billing request is generated in the wireless subscriber billing system, and the validation response is communicated to the trusted service.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a content gift over a data network. SOLUTION: A method is provided for operating a server 108 to allow a first terminal 102 to provide a content gift 118 to a second terminal 110, where the first terminal 102 and the second terminal 110 selectively communicate with the server 108. The method includes receiving a catalog request, from the first terminal 102, for a catalog 116 identifying a content 136 compatible with the second terminal 110, The method also includes generating the catalog 116 and transmitting the catalog 116 to the first terminal 102. The method also includes receiving a gift request, from the first terminal 102, for requesting a content gift 118 selected from the identified content 136 in the catalog 116 to be provided to the second terminal 110, and providing the content gift 118 to the second terminal 110.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for managing the deleting and reloading of software application components on a wireless device, such as a cellular telephone. SOLUTION: The wireless device has one or more resident executable software applications wherein each application has one or more application components and application-associated data, such as software license and user-specific data. The wireless device selectively deletes one or more application components of the resident software application without loss of the application-associated data to clear resources on the wireless device, and selectively prompts an application download server to transmit deleted application components needed to be reinstalled on the wireless device to execute the application.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for performing actions on a wireless device using action lists and versioning. SOLUTION: The system includes receiving, over a network, a remote action list version number, the remote action list version number being associated with a remote action list containing an instruction for the wireless device. The system further includes determining whether the remote action list version number is different from a local action list version number. The system also includes sending, over a network, a request for the remote action list in response to determining the remote action list version number is different from the local action list version number. Also, the system includes receiving, over a network, the remote action list. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A system and method for controlling software applications on one or more wireless devices where each wireless device is in selective communication with one or more application managing servers over a wireless network. Each wireless device has one or more selectively executable resident software applications and at least one software application requires a valid license for each execution, and upon the attempted execution of a software application, the wireless device determines if a license is present. If a license is not present, the wireless device selectively prompts, either automatically or at the direction of the user of the wireless device, an application managing server for transmission of a license, receives the transmitted license, and installs the license on the wireless device such that the software application is again licensed and executable.
Abstract:
DONDE UN PRIMER TERMINAL OPERA PARA PROPORCIONAR UN REGALO DE CONTENIDO A UN SEGUNDO TERMINAL, ESTANDO AMBOS TERMINALES COMUNICADOS SELECTIVAMENTE CON EL SERVIDOR DE REGALOS. EL METODO COMPRENDE: a) TRANSMITIR UNA SOLICITUD DE CATALOGO AL SERVIDOR, PARA OBTENER UN CATALOGO QUE IDENTIFICA EL CONTENIDO COMPATIBLE CON EL SEGUNDO TERMINAL, USANDO UNA CONEXION DE RED INALAMBRICA O ALAMBRICA; b) RECIBIR EL CATALOGO; c) SELECCIONAR UN REGALO DE CONTENIDO DEL CATALOGO; d) TRANSMITIR UNA SOLICITUD DE REGALO AL SERVIDOR, PIDIENDO QUE SE PROPORCIONE EL REGALO AL SEGUNDO TERMINAL; e) INCLUIR INFORMACION DE SEGURIDAD EN LA SOLICITUD DE CATALOGO DE MODO QUE LA SOLICITUD SE PUEDA AUTENTICAR; f) SOLICITAR QUE EL PRIMER TERMINAL ASUMA LOS COSTOS ASOCIADOS CON EL REGALO. LOS TERMINALES SON DISPOSITIVOS INALAMBRICOS. EL APARATO INCLUYE: i) UN TRANSMISOR DE SOLICITUD DE CATALOGO QUE OPERA PARA (a); ii) UN RECEPTOR DE CATALOGO QUE OPERA PARA (b); iii) UNA LOGICA DE SELECCION QUE OPERA PARA (c); Y, iv) UN TRANSMISOR DE SOLICITUD DE REGALO QUE OPERA PARA (d). ADEMAS SE REFIERE A UN MEDIO LEGIBLE POR COMPUTADORA QUE COMPRENDE INSTRUCCIONES QUE OPERAN PARA REALIZAR EL METODO
Abstract:
To get around the constraint of limited memory size in wireless devices such as mobile phones or pdas, the device is provided with the facility to selectively delete the components of a resident software application (e.g. a game) without loss of the associated application data (such as the game scores or passwords). When required to execute the application, the device can prompt a server via the wireless network to transmit the required, previously deleted, components. The device installs the components so that the application is once more executable on the device.

Abstract:
Systems and methods consistent with the present invention provide an interface to facilitate the communication between systems. A source system translates data into an XML format and transmits the data to a synchronizer interface tool. The synchronizer tool stores the data in a persistent intermediate storage, such as a queue, allowing the source system to go offline or perform other tasks while the data is transmitted to the target system. The synchronizer tool initiates the transmission of the data to the target system. If the target system indicates that it received the data, then the synchronizer tool sends an acknowledgement to the source system indicating the data was received. If the target system does not receive the transmission, the synchronizer tool maintains the data in the persistent intermediate storage and reinitiates transmission of the data to the target system.
