Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system, a method and a computer program for billing wireless device subscribers for their interactions with applications and services resident on third party computer devices that are accessible through a wireless network. SOLUTION: The wireless devices such as cellular telecommunication devices communicate with other computer devices on the wireless network, and an end-user thereof can selectively download and execute software applications. The third party computer devices such as application download servers selectively provide applications and services to the wireless devices on the wireless network. Billable events occur, and a billing server gathers billable event data, generates bills for the wireless device subscribers, and executes payment to the third party for billable events at the computer devices of the third party.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system, method, and computer program that automatically create a subscription for applications and services provided to wireless devices from other computer devices on a wireless network.SOLUTION: The subscription requires periodic payment by the wireless device subscriber for continued access to the applications or services. The system monitors wireless device end-user interaction with other computer devices, such as application download servers, across the wireless network and, when the end-user obtains an application or service from the computer device, the system automatically records the subscription and either bills the wireless device subscriber for the subscription(s) or transmits the bill to the carrier or another entity to bill the subscriber.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a virtual marketplace for wireless device applications and services with integrated multi-party settlement.SOLUTION: A virtual marketplace is hosted by a computer device on a wireless network, which can be a billing server, and lists one or more applications or services that are accessible by carriers and end users on wireless devices. Upon receiving a selection from a carrier or end user for interaction with at least one of the applications, the billing server generates a bill for that end-user interaction. The billing server can then collect the proceeds from the carrier or the end user through electronic payment or other methods, and distribute a portion of the proceeds to an appropriate application developer for the carrier end-user interactions with that developer's applications.
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.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system, method, and computer program for tracking billable events occurring on wireless devices on a wireless network and billing appropriate parties. SOLUTION: The billable events occur from the end-users of the wireless devices 12 or the like which selectively communicate with other computer devices via a wireless network 14, downloads and executes software applications thereupon. Billable event data are ultimately gathered at a billing server 16 on the wireless network 14 where wireless device billable events are generated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a virtual marketplace for wireless device applications and services with integrated multi-party settlement.SOLUTION: A system, method, and computer program are used to provide independently developed applications and services to wireless telecommunication device users over a wireless communication network. The system allows independent developers to provide their applications and services to an end user of a wireless device 106 over the wireless carrier network 110.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for a radio service provider that with a single subscription account, provides a startup of an application by a subscriber who includes a plurality of radio communication apparatuses. SOLUTION: The subscriber is managed with a subscriber table, and a user 1 identified with user accountant information 202 gains access to an application of a product 2 from an optional one of a plurality of radio communication apparatuses (apparatus 1, apparatus 3); however, only a startup of one application is permitted at a time for each subscription account.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for application-based billing in a wireless subscriber billing system. SOLUTION: A wireless client device 300 generates and transmits a billing request to the billing system 106. The billing system 106 generates a validation response to the billing request and transmits the validation response to the client device 300. The validation response is processed by the client device 300 to enable a service linked to the billing request. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
