Exemplarily, Internet user 22 (such as, bandwidth access software application user 22) can access to a certain extent can be by, such as, the predetermined content of bandwidth access software application provider 30 of www.amazon.com or www.wikipedia.org and so on.So, by by the content that the bandwidth access software application 24 that created is accessed can be configured to promote to by, such as the access of the content created.
Access 28 can be passed through such as the independently service provider (" ISP ") of Wireline or wireless bandwidth network and so on.Exemplarily, user with, such as, www.amazon.com engage time, the data 28 of 10MB can be consumed by the user 22 of utilized bandwidth access software applications 24.Then, the bandwidth access software application 24 engaged with www.amazon.com can record this access activity, and indicates bandwidth access software applications provider 30 (in the example case, ) to bandwidth provider 26 (in the example case, ) some or all of cost of payment data throughput, pointed by the arrow 28 in Fig. 1.Data throughout is passable, such as, is the data of 10MG.
So, have many groups to be worth input and exchange, such as, three groups are worth input and exchange, as illustrated in greater detail in FIG.That is, be worth input exchange can occur, that is, Internet user 22 answers the requirement " freely " of bandwidth access software application provider 30 or visits the online content 24 of www.amazon.com (in the example case, with the expense reduced itself), so as to exchange make itself can use bandwidth access software application 24, bandwidth access software application 24 in this example, with specific content and business service 24 are associated.Such as and so on bandwidth provider 26 by bandwidth access software application provider 30 for the portions of bandwidth ground that provides to the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24 or fully pay, thus come the content that sales promotion is associated and the business service be associated with bandwidth access software application 24 with some or all of the bandwidth access paying bandwidth provider 30 connection for cost.
Replace being directly bandwidth access expense and pay bandwidth provider 26, bandwidth access software application provider 30 can pay the sale of bandwidth provider 26 bandwidth access software application provider 30 acquisition or the percentage (such as, commission) of advertising income (earning in the process engaged with end user 22 promoted by end user 22 utilized bandwidth access software applications).Such as, bandwidth access software application provider 30 pay to bandwidth provider 26, such as, by bandwidth access software application provider 30 for by the content provided to end user 22 (such as, such as or and so on the Web page that provides of bandwidth access software application provider 30, such as and so on the film that provides of bandwidth access software application provider 30, such as, from such as MGMGrand and so on the electronic card game etc. of provider 30) and 2% commission of the expense collected.The bandwidth that the commission of 2% can contain end user 22 uses the whole cost of 28 or represents some the discounted or preferential expense for this use.
So, occur three groups and be worth input exchange.The user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24 is free or visit online content by the discount represented from the commission that bandwidth access software application provider 30 receives by bandwidth provider 26, therefore, bandwidth access software application provider 30 partially or even wholly subsidizes the cost that the bandwidth usually paid by the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24 connects 28.Therefore, bandwidth provider 26 be compensate for the cost providing bandwidth access 28 to the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24.Bandwidth access software application provider of bandwidth access software application provider 30 30 to otherwise user 22 that bandwidth connects the bandwidth access software application 24 of 28 (thus make end user 22 cannot access bandwidth access software applications provider 30 or their partner or attached) can not be affordable promote its business service or its attached or partner (such as mGM etc.) business service, take in exchange to share with bandwidth provider 26 and/or pay bandwidth provider 26 for some or all of bandwidth access.In addition, system 20 for generating the attached commission of this bandwidth access software application can realize in this environment: bandwidth provider 26 does not subsidize the cost of the user 22 of the bandwidth service 24 of bandwidth access software application, but the bandwidth service providing better quality on the contrary (such as, speed of download, more reliably connection etc. faster), namely, upgrade in some way and usually have, such as, the service of the cost of the upgrading paid by bandwidth access software application provider 30 representative of consumer 22.
In replacement scheme, bandwidth access software application provider can configured bandwidth access software applications 24, not to be provided for any bandwidth support of accessing the first internet site be associated with bandwidth access software application 24 at first to user, but, on the contrary, when user 22 participates in some activity relating to the first internet site that utilized bandwidth access software applications 24 is accessed, such as, do not have in user's utilized bandwidth access software applications 24 bandwidth to subsidize support and visit www.amazon.com and after this from another website (such as, ) music of make purchases worth more $ 10 when, the consumption of rewarding for bandwidth to user 22 is paid to access another internet site (also being may have access to by this or another bandwidth access software application 24).As the award for this music of purchase, bandwidth access software application provider 30 allows the bandwidth access software application 24 of this specific end user 22 to watch Online Music video on www.youtube.com, and consume in this process, such as, the bandwidth of 100mb, end user 22 need not carry out to bandwidth provider 26 expense paying or pay minimizing for this reason.
In addition, in other cases, bandwidth access software application provider 30 can program bandwidth access software applications 24 similarly, to provide right, such as, and the bandwidth access partly supported of www.youtube.com.In addition, bandwidth access software application provider 30 can program bandwidth access software applications 24 be what be not associated with bandwidth itself similarly, but end user 22 expense be associated with other commodity and service provides and pays wholly or in part, no matter this commodity or service are online to obtain or off-line obtains, such as, buying from www.amazon.com, such as, after being worth the music of the 1, reward end user 22 free or the extra song that gives a discount download, the admission ticket of the concert that viewing is on-the-spot, or the music-playing garment be associated and commodity.
Those skilled in the art is also appreciated that bandwidth access software application provider 30 need not have such as website, traditional online access at line service etc. and so on.Bandwidth access software application 24 can by do not have website or online (such as, local vehicle overhaul stand), but, wish to make bandwidth access software application 24 the small enterprise owner create, bandwidth access software application 24 can be downloaded to user 22 and be used to promote business.In doing so, the bandwidth access software application 24 provided by bandwidth access software application provider 30 can operate independent of any website, bandwidth provider 26 can be paid, such as, based on user's 22 pairs of bandwidth access software applications 24 of bandwidth access software application 22 use (such as, by bandwidth access software application 24 user 22 utilized bandwidth access software applications 24 as promotion instrument, dispatch car maintenance), the attached commission of bandwidth access software application.
So, Internet user 22 (user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24) uses by overhaul stand (in the case, bandwidth access software application provider 30) the bandwidth access software application 24 that creates, such as, by such as the bandwidth provider 26 of broadband network 28 and so on, the reservation of scheduling and overhaul stand of bandwidth access software application provider 30.Overhaul stand bandwidth access software application 24 can record this schedule activities, and indicate overhaul stand of bandwidth access software applications provider 30 to pay the attached commission of bandwidth access software application to bandwidth provider 26, such as $ 1.00, for the connection between the end user 22 of Permissible bandwidth access software applications 24 and bandwidth access software application provider 30, such as, wherein, the data of 10MB are sent by between bandwidth access software application provider of overhaul stand 30 and the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24.The user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24 uses bandwidth 28 that is free or that partly pay, visit overhaul stand of bandwidth access software application provider 30 online content, because the commission that $ 1.00 is received by bandwidth provider 26 partially or even wholly subsidizes the cost that the bandwidth usually paid by the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24 connects 28.
Bandwidth provider 26 is provided the cost of bandwidth access 28 to the end user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24 by compensate for.Overhaul stand of bandwidth access software application provider 30 to otherwise the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24 that bandwidth connects 28 (thus making the potential customer of service cannot access bandwidth access software application provider of overhaul stand 30) can not be affordable promote its business service (motor vehicle repair), to change, such as, utilize the attached commission of 1.00 bandwidth access software application to compensate bandwidth provider 26.
So, to it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that, main and the novel advantage of of this system 20 is, the bandwidth barter business of these types (comprises content, commodity that the non-bandwidth of process is relevant with cross-subsidize relation, and the relation of service) can be quick by bandwidth access software application provider 30, widely, and to implement at low cost, without the need to monitoring, record, audit and/or notice Intelligent Installation in the network of bandwidth provider itself.As noted, the network of bandwidth provider 26 can comprise physical communication network (tower, reflector, server, gateway, cable, server etc.), the equipment of this physical communication network supported data from a partial-flow of internet to user 22, such as, the connectivity service for allowing user 22 subscribe bandwidth provider 26.Permission server may be needed in the network of bandwidth provider 26, such as, extra computer element (database, registration body, server etc.), as historical situation, with monitoring, examination & verification, limiting access stream, and book keeping operation " reverse charging " or " free " data activity etc., as in the prior art reflect.Application program activity system 20 does not use this " interior network " (in bandwidth provider 26 network) permission server etc., and with troublesome risk, the cost of bandwidth provider 26 on this Server history, and maintenance complexity is associated.On the contrary, this complexity, according to each side of theme disclosed at present, can be caught by bandwidth access software application provider 30 and other each side (such as, other attached entities) and be managed outside the network of bandwidth provider 26.
It should be noted that, binding is subsidized in online interaction in the past and commercial affairs needs two or more " sides of enabling " (such as, content supplier and access provider), with by allowing these multiple sides of enabling build the self-defining back-end software system that can connect between the software (normally Web browser) of their data infrastructure and Internet user, to support the activity of Internet user's (such as, using the individual consumer of a software of such as Web browser and so on).This brings integrated and maintenance cost and security risk to the side of enabling, because As time goes on, they need the system opening them in larger degree to other system.When accessing provider (such as, mobile or landline bandwidth provider), these integrated, maintenances, and safety cost is proved to be large especially, result, the not success of the binding of innovation and suppertive relations.
But, the single bandwidth access software application 24 created like a cork by the side of enabling (bandwidth access software application provider 30) by utilization (such as, Android bandwidth access software application), can be used by user at these bandwidth access software applications 24 (" edge " place at the network of operator 26) of operator 26 network.The data flow 52 (using history, charging instruction etc.) produced can be routed in a part for the network of such as internet and so on illustrated in fig. 2 or the internal network of cloud 62 instead of operator or by its addressable centralized application program activity system registration body 60, as noted, this registration body can record, audits, calculate, and report is to application program activity system settlement engine 98 (shown by Fig. 3 A).Then, the tally order 70 produced can be passed to such as bandwidth access provider settlement system 86, application program provider settlement system 80, other suppliers 82 (online with off-line) with periodic interval again, and the respectively side of enabling of application user charge system 84 and so on.Result, clearinghouse as this " outside the network of operator 26 " enabled by application program activity system 20 can allow the side of enabling of larger quantity (such as, small enterprise, local authorized organization, and other bandwidth access software application providers 30 etc.), there is provided in establishment and distribution and force the self-defined of user's goods and services, low cost, cooperate during bandwidth access software application.
In addition, by (the metering of this intelligence, charging etc.) be embedded into bandwidth provider network outside cheaply and flexibly bandwidth access software application 24 (be positioned at the edge of carrier network at a distance, such as, in the family of user 22, at such as mobile phone, laptop computer, PC, game console, Set Top Box, panel computer, embedded system, on user 22 equipment of modulator-demodulator and so on) make bandwidth provider 26 consult and realize charging and the cross-subsidize platform of countless layerings by the intelligence in bandwidth access software application 24 itself, instead of by such as a lot of permission server (fire compartment wall, access level gateway, and costliness, unsafe, be difficult to safeguard, and the server usefulness of operator 26 may be placed in sizable risk the network 28 making the extra equipment of the data similar mechanism accelerating through network and so on this intelligence is directly implemented into bandwidth provider 26.In addition, based on long-range third party's bandwidth access software application 24, similar bandwidth access software application 24, each can generate the data flow of the activity of the user relating to bandwidth access software application 24 independently, such as, the time used, the operating system of use, the equipment of use, the content of access, the bandwidth of use, etc.Data flow can be fed to required treatment element, such as, by wireless, wired, or the combination of two kinds of communication path types, such as, xDSL, WiMax etc.In addition, third party's bandwidth access software application 24 data flow can be received by application program activity system registration body 60 and be processed, such as, and record, calculating, examination & verification, distribution, etc., and as further instruction etc.

Please refer to Fig. 6 now, shown in be instrument and the operating platform that can be used for creating application program activity system 20 as described above.The given demand simultaneously meeting each side in each value input state of trade, software platform can need current disabled complicated rank in the prior art.Specifically, application program activity system 20 can be enabled by the software systems that can be made up of five elements, these five elements can carry out each other mutual and coordinate between the corresponding provider being worth input produce mutual.Discussed above is three in these elements, that is, application program activity system registration body 60, application program activity system settlement system 210, and bandwidth access software application 24.
All the other elements of setting forth below are the software systems contributing to the establishment of bandwidth access software application 24 and the maintenance of application program activity system registration body 60 and application program activity system settlement system 210.More specifically, these are bandwidth broker engine 202 (also referred to as " being worth input commercial systems " or " VITS "), and self-defining SDK (" SDK ") 204, also referred to as application development kit (" ADK ") 204.Bandwidth broker engine 202 can be can make its to bandwidth access software application provider 30 can with in case bandwidth access software application provider 30 can make bandwidth access software application 24 can be used for distributing to the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 30 before coordinate the software platform of commercial terms.In addition, bandwidth broker engine 202 also can allow following (the bandwidth access software application provider 30 of the side of enabling, its other party sender (partiesendor), charging proxy, bandwidth supplier etc.) consult and the value bid of just their value input, such as, Permissible bandwidth agent engine 202 not only serves as bandwidth trading platform, but also serve as content and service agent engine, this engine by bandwidth access software application provider 30 and may be able to be wished, such as, other participants in the market carrying out cooperating with regard to the establishment of the wide bandwidth access software application of system-wide are mated.
Once the clause being worth input is agreed, such as, price, transmission, time period, titular each side, etc. bandwidth broker engine 202 these clauses can be imported to SDK204, such as, then, this SDK204 can be distributed to bandwidth access software application provider 30.Utilize SDK204, bandwidth access software application provider 30 can create bandwidth access software application 24 and relate to cross-subsidize, commercial terms for the payment of bandwidth access, and can be involved to other commercial values input trade features in ADK204, such as, after user's utilized bandwidth access software applications 24 of bandwidth access software application 24, the data flow to application program activity system registration body 60 can be generated, as discussed above, for further analyzing and action.
Receive once data flow is employed program activity system registry mechanism 60 and processes, application program activity system settlement engine 210 can the mode of settle a debt each other with regard to bandwidth access software application provider 30 and attached business parnter, such as, cash, they are instructed for thing etc. with thing.In addition, application program activity system settlement engine 210 also can for provided by application program activity system registration body 60 service log, process, and to draw a bill to suitable each side.Settlement engine can comprise registers from registration body 60 reception the log-on data input module 300, logging modle 302, reporting modules 10 and the settlement module 312 that export data 300.Settlement engine 210 can provide settlement engine to export data by module 318.
Get back to Fig. 6, schematically illustrate the instrument needed for establishment application program activity system 20 and operating platform in block diagrams.Bandwidth broker engine 202 can be safeguarded by the application program activity system keeper in " cloud ", mean, for this application program, network (namely, internet) a part, namely, outside the hardware and software of the network of formation operator (bandwidth provider 26), in order to provide one group of standard input template, by these templates, any software programmer (such as, bandwidth access software application provider 30) feasible subsidy framework can be built, such as, comprise the amount and feature that are worth input 220, subsidize each side of (subsidy) layout 222, belong to the price of the element of trade, the clause be associated with the element 226 of trade, and settlement method 228 (cash, with thing for thing etc.), and the framework of proposal is submitted to following business parnter (such as bandwidth broker engine data output 230, bandwidth provider 26, other each side etc., as discussed here.
Once commercial terms are selected by bandwidth provider 26 and bandwidth access software application provider 30 and agree to, bandwidth broker engine 201 just can generate that self-defining application development kit (" SDK ") 204 uses can (input of these data 250 can make bandwidth access software application provider 30 build bandwidth access software application as bandwidth broker engine data input 250, bandwidth access software application automatically can comprise metadata, metadata can represent each side inputted from bandwidth broker engine 202, also comprise for following the tracks of and the monitoring of billing purpose and function of reporting) be provided to SDK204 bandwidth broker engine data export 230.So, SDK204 can be used for creating one or more bandwidth access software application 24 by bandwidth access software application provider 30 and/or his agency, and these bandwidth access software applications 24 can by free or be provided to the user of bandwidth access software application 24 with definable expense.
ADK204 also can comprise developer's graphic user interface (" GUI " 252, operating system 256, one group of Core Feature instrument 258, equipments of recording 260 and Reporting Tools 262.
Bandwidth access software application 24 can be pre-installed on broadband modem (or the equipment of the connection of such as Set Top Box and so on, etc.) or downloaded by the user of bandwidth access software application 24, user for bandwidth access software applications 24 is used as the standard bandwidth access software applications on subscriber equipment, such as, for Email, browse, word processing, social networks etc.As SDK204, bandwidth access software application 24 can be embedded at it and monitors and report the ability of all key activities of the user of bandwidth access software applications 24, comprises corn module 270, logging modle 27 and reporting modules 280.The data of being collected by application program 24 can be used as the basis of all cross-subsidize subsequently and charging action.For this reason, bandwidth access software application 24 can produce bandwidth usage data report 278, this report 278 can be sent to as data input file 290 the application program activity system registration body 60 resided in cloud, to determine by the charging generated the use of bandwidth access software application 24 and subsidy activity.
From this charging and the subsidy activity data of application program activity system registration body 60, namely, registration body exports data 300 can be forwarded to bandwidth access software application provider 30 and their partner, and can be hosted in cloud and application program activity system 20 can be represented and perform clearing (namely, in fact, FOR frequency outage report collects commission and expense as all activities of enabling application program activity system 20) application program activity system settlement engine 210.Application program activity system settlement engine 210 can by each side to this commission of obligated payment and expense, as noted, collect and owe bandwidth provider 26, other each side, user, bandwidth access software application provider 30, and the amount of money of the keeper of application program activity system 20.Registration body 60 can comprise application data input module 290, commission has module 292 and the bandwidth calculation module 294 of free/discounting.
Finally, application program activity system registration body 60 exports data 278 and also can be routed, for metering bandwidth access software application 304 (such as, reside on the package of user 22) (such as, all activities of enabling bandwidth can be served as (such as, Future Internet browse credit side (credit, credit), the download of free application program, free bandwidth access software application downloads, free Voice & Video content etc.) in real time or almost real-time metering) use.
Application program activity system registration body 60 also can be used at any time by index with the transfer of data analyzed to any attached side (user 22 of bandwidth provider 26, bandwidth access software application provider 30, bandwidth access software application 24), depend on by the demand of bandwidth access software application 24 used.The data generated by the bandwidth access software application 290 of the amount of money just not recording " transmit leg payment " are also collected being used to by application program activity system registration body 60.More complicated bandwidth access software application model (will be created by SDK of future generation) comprising:
I) be the bandwidth access software application that the partial payment of bandwidth cost is designed, wherein, the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24 must by a part of direct payment of bandwidth cost to bandwidth provider 26, as a part for " partial payment of bandwidth access software application provider " model.
Ii) be directly pay the bandwidth access software application 24 of bandwidth Cost Design wholly or in part (namely to the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24 instead of bandwidth provider 26, bandwidth access software application provider 30 must pay the part or all of of bandwidth cost directly to the end user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24, as the part of this " bandwidth access software application provider 30 pays user 22 " model.In the case, the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24 will need directly for used bandwidth pays bandwidth provider 26.
Iii) be bandwidth access software application 24 that the record of the advertisement element in bandwidth access software application 24 designs, bandwidth access software application provider 30 receives and pays it, and they also can be shared with the user 22 of bandwidth provider 26 and/or bandwidth access software application 24 and take in (" advertisement is attached " model)
Iv) be bandwidth access software application 24 that the record of the commercial action (sale of goods and services) in bandwidth access software application 24 designs, bandwidth access software application provider 30 receives and pays it, and they also can share selling commission (" attached marketeer " model) with the user 22 of bandwidth provider 26 and/or bandwidth access software application 24.
V) all activities (bandwidth used of the user 22 of bandwidth access software applications 24 is recorded, the time that bandwidth access software application spends, the advertisement checked, the commodity bought), bandwidth access software application provider 30 utilizes cash, unconfined bandwidth credit side (for, except bandwidth access software application 24), other application programs, the credit side of bandwidth access software application 24 and content (music, film, game), and/or off-line goods and services, reward the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24.
Except foregoing bandwidth access software application 24 model, each bandwidth access software application 24 can be hosted on dissimilar equipment, with the means of different stage and bandwidth connectivity.Such as, in one embodiment, trustship on one device for an area (such as, MenloPark, CA) bandwidth access software application 24 (bandwidth access software application provider payment model etc.) can be used for bandwidth connectivity by different operators 26.Exemplarily, modem device (home gateway) trustship one group can transmit the bandwidth access software application 24 of data by the xDSL circuit that the xDSL modem chip collection resided in gateway is enabled.Meanwhile, second group of bandwidth access software application 24 also can reside on this same gateway, but is configured to use independent circuit (the 3G baseband chip collection such as, honeycomb fashion circuit operated) to transmit data.Novel and favourable result will be, in this terms of payment of agreement so that before providing data by their attached bandwidth access software applications 24, at least two quotations from two bandwidth providers 26 can be sought by bandwidth access software application provider 30.User can switch their house bandwidth provider 26 (not punishment) every day, if their need, instead of as present case, every 12 months.
In another kind of scheme, the same bandwidth connections (such as, supporting the Liang Ge 3G operator of the 3G baseband chip collection shared) enabled in home gateway actually can be shared by Liang Ge operator 26.Such as, two cellular operators can provide the PAYG bandwidth access software application 24 of competition to serve to the user 22 of home gateway, (wish to engage with the internet resource 26 do not supported by bandwidth access software application 24) when they seek the data outside the access bandwidth access software applications ecosystem.
In addition, it is contemplated that, embodiment can not utilized bandwidth agent engine 202 and bandwidth provider 26 agreed bandwidth price and clause, but the value that Permissible bandwidth access software applications provider 30 arranges bandwidth itself (comprises bandwidth access software application provider 30 and is ready to pay how many directly to the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24, so that at special time, Fee Schedule for specific action), and propose that the bandwidth for being consumed by their bandwidth access software application 24 pays to the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24.In such an embodiment, bandwidth provider 26 does not work in the subsidy to bandwidth 282, but only provides bandwidth 28 (such as, for the consumption of retail bandwidth 28, to user 22 collect $ 40) with market price to user 22 with its normal clause.As for the payment will carried out to the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24, they can by the settlement system of bandwidth access software application provider 30 to user 22 oneself---such as they bank account, bandwidth account ( etc.) pay, or third party's credit polymerization business ( card etc.) pay.When bandwidth access software application provider 30 do not wish to the settlement system of oneself of user 22 carry out these pay, they also can allow the operator representative of application program activity system registration body 60 they carry out pay the bill (thus complexity of the payment processes of limiting bandwidth access software applications provider 30) to the user 22 of bandwidth access software application 24.
In addition, it is contemplated that, an embodiment of disclosed theme can not utilized bandwidth agent engine 202, but use the bandwidth broker engine input system (" the bandwidth broker engine of change ") of the change of sing on web, this system can make bandwidth access software application provider 30 and third party beneficiary (charity, government organs, or other entities) consult, to pay the predetermined amount of money (cash or with thing for thing commodity or service) by bandwidth access software application provider 30 to this third party beneficiary, to exchange subscriber for 22 (some time by day in a specific way, for some time period, continuously within the time period of several days, download or send the data of specified quantitative, check extra advertisement etc.).Some website current (use standard browser) will donate a certain percentage (being also an option of the bandwidth access software application 24 imagined) of their website income from sales herein to one or more charity, but, current techniques do not extend to can measure commodity or service sale beyond every self-monitoring bandwidth access software application 24, but measure except. buy the behavior of user 22 except commodity or service.In addition, because bandwidth access software application 24 and other Web surfing activities are isolated, therefore, people more likely engage monitoring to Web and please oneself.In fact, exist in each side (user 22, bandwidth access software application provider 30, and third party beneficiary---tripartite's trade of the amendment occurred as discussed here), but bandwidth provider 26 (providing a side of bandwidth) does not need itself now, because bandwidth has been undertaken paying by user 22, (last branch line of tripartite's trade relates to third party beneficiary to receive certain form payment from bandwidth access software application provider 30, and user 22 obtains " meeting " that third party beneficiary acquires benefit from the action of user 22.
As former each embodiment of system 20 described herein, the keeper of system 20 contributes to building between bandwidth access software application provider 30 and third party beneficiary paying parameter, comprise the establishment of self-defining SDK204, for creating this bandwidth access software application 24, then, after it is used by user 22, create the backend applications activity system registration body 60 by receiving metadata from bandwidth access software application 24.This metadata of collecting then will be configured for the basis providing clearing and payment instruction according to their the initial intention of petition (memorialized) in the bandwidth broker engine of change between parties.
Exemplarily, user 22 (user of bandwidth access software application 24) will use by the bandwidth access software application 23 that (bandwidth access software application provider 30) creates, has been subscribed by user and has been the broadband network that this reservation is carried out to operator paying, and visits the content on www.amazon.com. bandwidth access software application 24 will record all access activity, and these data will be used to refer to pay by bandwidth access software application 24 user 22 He to third party beneficiary's (as predetermined by Amazon) the amount of cash of each activity (data of time, consumption etc.) participated between (data of transmission, the time of cost etc.).With regard to being worth and inputting (three-dimensional trade)
User 22 utilization itself content, will point out to exchange the access activity knowing them charitable contribution is made to third party beneficiary.
. carrying out charitable contribution by promising to undertake to third party beneficiary, promoting its business service to user 22.
