Description

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ALLOWING THE AUTHORIZATION OF MULTIPLE USER-BASED APPLICATIONS WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES " FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates in general terms to wireless telecommunications and computer networks. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system method for providing an infrastructure for service providers that provide services to a subscriber who has multiple wireless communication devices.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Technological advances have returned to mobile phones, or wireless communication devices, cheap and available to virtually everyone. It is not uncommon for a family to have several wireless communication devices, one for each member of the family. Wireless service providers have made it easier for a plurality of wireless communication devices to bill a single subscription account. Some wireless service providers allow different wireless communication devices to share a time allocation assigned to a single user account. For example, a user can sign up for a plan that provides 500 minutes of airtime and has these 500 minutes shared by different wireless communication devices used by family members. In the above situation, multiple wireless communication devices used by different family members do not compete for the time allocation of 500 minutes of time. In contrast, the wireless service provider records the air time used by each wireless communication device and adds the total time used by all wireless communication devices in the same user account. Such time is then compared with the time allocation of 500 minutes. There are no limitations on the amount of time each wireless communications device can use. However, the situation changes when the wireless service provider charges a monthly subscription fee or a per-user access fee per wireless device application. For some applications, wireless service providers may require a fixed subscription fee per wireless communications device, and a user needs to subscribe to the application and pay a monthly subscription fee before being allowed access to the application from the wireless communications device. But paying a subscription fee per wireless communication device becomes expensive if the user wishes to access the same application through different wireless communication devices, such as in the situation of a family that has several wireless communication devices. Paying a subscription fee per wireless communication device also becomes expensive if the user wishes to use the application, such as a web-based wireless yellow page service, which is usually accessed sporadically, to all family members. It is unlikely that all members of the family will simultaneously access the web-based yellow pages wireless service, consequently paying a subscription fee per wireless communication device becomes economically disadvantageous for the user. In accordance with the above, it would be advantageous to provide a system and method that allows wireless service providers to obtain access to a request from a wireless communication device registered in a user account. Accordingly, the present invention is basically directed to such a system and method.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention describes a system and method that allow a wireless service provider to charge a single subscription fee per subscription account to access a wireless application., in which there are multiple wireless communication devices associated with the subscription account. The present invention allows the wireless service provider to control access to the wireless application, so that only one wireless communication device can activate the wireless application at the same time. Consequently, requests for simultaneous access from different wireless communication devices associated with the subscription account are denied. A method, according to one embodiment of the present invention, allows the wireless service provider to support a subscriber with a plurality of wireless communication devices, wherein the wireless service provider charges a single subscription fee per subscriber for a service and it allows to invoke the service singularly by means of a plurality of wireless communication devices. The method may include the following steps: receiving a selection for a selected application from the plurality of wireless communication devices, sending the selected application to the plurality of wireless communication devices, recording the selected application information and the plurality of devices of wireless communications in a subscription table, receive an activation request for the selected application from a wireless communications device that requests the service, verify the availability of the selected application in the subscription table, and, if the selected application is find available, mark the selected application as unavailable and send an activation to the wireless communications device that requests the service. A system according to an embodiment of the present invention allows a wireless service provider to support a subscriber with a plurality of wireless communication devices, in which the wireless service provider charges a single subscription fee for a service and allows invoke the service singularly by a plurality of wireless communication devices. The system can include a mobile switching center in communication with a plurality of wireless communication devices, wherein the plurality of wireless communication devices have the same information of the subscriber, and a server in communications with the mobile switching center, which it has a subscription table, with a plurality of records. Each record of the subscription table may have a subscriber identification field, an application identification field, and a plurality or device identification fields, where each device identification field stores information in a wireless communication device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In this description, the terms "communication device", "wireless device", "portable telephone", "wireless communication device", and "telephone handset" are used interchangeably, the term "application" as used This is intended to encompass executable and non-executable software files, raw data, aggregate data, patches, and other code segments. In addition, similar numbers refer to similar elements throughout various views. With the advent of 3rd generation (3G) wireless communications technology, there is more bandwidth available for wireless communications, and portable and wireless telecommunications devices, such as cell phones, pagers, personal digital assistants (PDAs - digital staff) assistants) that have increasing wireless capabilities. Currently, wireless service providers can offer a variety of applications that can provide their subscribers with different services. These applications allow a user to verify the weather, verify the current value of the shares in the stock exchange, check the bulletins with the latest news, receive emails, receive location messages, surf the Internet, and play a game interactive with a remote player through its wireless unit, in addition to using it to maintain audio communications with another user. Many of these applications are used sporadically by the user, that is, the user can invoke an application for a short period of time and not run the application for hours each day, and the user is still charged a full monthly subscription fee. For this reason, the user may be reluctant to hire the service. However, the user may be inclined to contract the service if they can pay a single subscription fee per application and if they are able to share access to the application with their family members who use different wireless communications devices. Accordingly, the present invention provides support so that wireless service providers generate more revenue by allowing a user to pay a single subscription for an application and to access the application from a plurality of wireless communication devices as further described in the present. Figure 1 graphically represents a communication network 100 used in accordance with the present invention. The communication network 100 includes one or more communication towers 106, each connected to a base station (BS) and to users with access to the service with communication devices 102. The communication devices 106 may be cellular phones, pagers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptops, or other portable, stationary or handheld devices that utilize a wireless and cellular telecommunications network. The commands and data entered by each user are transmitted as digital data to a communication tower 106. Communications between a user using a communication device 102 and the communication tower 106 can be based on different technologies, such as code division multiplexed access (CDMA), time division multiplex access (TDMA) - time division multiple access), access multiplexed by frequency division (FDMA - frequency multiple division access), the global system for mobile communications (GSM), or other protocols that can be used in a communications network wireless or a data communications network. The data from each user is sent from the communication tower 106 to a base station (BS) 110, and sent in advance to a mobile switching center (MSC) 114, which can be connected to a network Public switched telephone network (PSTN) 118 and Internet 120. MSC 113 can be connected to a server 116 that supports different applications available to subscribers using wireless communication devices 102. Optionally, the server 116 may be part of the MSC 113. The server 116 may be operated by the wireless service provider of a third party. The server 116 provides applications that can be invoked by the wireless subscribers. The server 116 also maintains a subscription table 200 as illustrated in Figure 2. The subscription table 200 registers the identities of the user accounts 202 that subscribe to the applications, identifications of the subscribed applications 204, identities of the devices wireless devices authorized to access the application 206, 208, the identity of the wireless communications device currently invoking the application 210, and the password associated with the application 211. Preferably, there is a registry by application 212. When a user subscribes to more than an application, the user's account information will be displayed in more than one 212 record. When a user subscribes to an application, a record is created for the account. The register lists the information 202 of the user's account, which can be used as the identification information of that user, and the application 204. Alternatively, the user can also use a user key or user name as the information of the user. identification of the user.

If there are many wireless devices listed in the account, such as in a family situation when each member of the family has a wireless device, the user can list the identities of the wireless devices authorized to use the application. The user can authorize all, or only a subset of, the devices to use the application. The user can also assign a password for this application. After the wireless service provider creates the registration, the wireless service provider sends the user information in advance to a billing system so that the user can be billed. Figure 3 illustrates a user subscription process 300. A user subscribes to an application by providing his account information to the service provider step 302. The service provider of this application may be the same wireless service provider that provides wireless services to the user or to an independent third party. The user's account information is associated with their mobile identification number (MIN - mobile identification number) or their electronic identification number (EIN) of the wireless device. The wireless service provider can easily retrieve your account information from your database using the MIN / EIN and forwarding to the third party service provider, if necessary. The user makes a request for an application menu, step 304, and receives the menu, step 306. Both the request and the menu are transmitted wirelessly between the wireless handset 102 and the communication tower 106. The menu is displayed on the wireless handset 102 from which the user can make a selection. After selecting an application, the wireless handset 102 sends the selection to the wireless service provider, step 308, and receives the application from the wireless service provider, step 310. The received application may be a total application running in the wireless handset 102 or a remote user interface for the application running on the server 116. The user can also enter information of another wireless handset 102 to which access to the application is authorized. This can be done by entering information from each wireless handset or by selecting from a list received from the wireless service provider. Figure 4 illustrates a subscription process of wireless service provider provider 400. The wireless service provider receives the user information, step 402, when the user registers with the wireless service provider. The wireless service provider receives the menu request, step 404, and transmits the menu to the user's wireless communication device 102, step 406. After the wireless service provider receives this selection, step 408, the service provider wireless creates a record 212 in the subscription table 200 and records the user account information 202, the selected application 204, and the devices allowed to access the application, step 410. After registering the selected application, the service provider wireless sends the selected application to the user, step 412. Optionally, the user can set a password for the application, and the password will be entered into register 212. In an alternative mode, the user can repeat the subscription process from different devices wireless communications so that you can download the application to those dis positive wireless communications. However, in this case no new record is created in the subscription table, and the wireless service provider will simply add the wireless communication device identification in the appropriate register. Figure 5 illustrates a user activation process 500. The user sends his information to the wireless service provider, step 502, when the wireless communication device 102 registers with the wireless service provider. After the wireless communications device 102 is in communications with the wireless service provider, the user can activate the application by sending an application activation request to the wireless service provider, step 504. If no message is received from failure, step 505, then the wireless communications device will receive an activation for the selected application, step 506. The activation may be an authorization from the wireless service provider that allows the wireless communication device to execute the remote user interface. The activation can also be the entire application that is received by the wireless communications device. If the wireless communication device receives a failure message in place of the activation, the wireless communication device displays the failure message, step 508. Figure 6 illustrates a wireless service provider subscription process 600. The wireless service provider receives the user information during the registration procedure, step 602, and an activation request for an application, step 604. The user information may also be a username provided by the user. The wireless service provider checks the subscription table 200 to see if the user is a subscriber, step 606. If the user is not a subscriber, then the wireless service provider sends a failure message to the user, step 610. If the user is a subscriber, then the wireless service provider verifies whether the selected application is in use by another wireless communication device, step 608. If the application is being used by another wireless communication device in the user's account, for example , used by the wife, then the wireless service provider sends a failure message to the user, step 610. If the selected application is not in use, the wireless service provider sets the flag "in use" in the registry in the subscription table for the application, step 612, and send the selected application activation to the user, step 614 The establishment of the flag "in use" can be done by entering the identification of the wireless communication device in the identification field 210 of the current device. Figure 7 illustrates an alternative embodiment for a user activation process 700. Process 700 is similar to process 500 except for sending passwords. The user sends his information to the wireless service provider, step 702, when the wireless communication device 102 registers with the wireless service provider. After the wireless communication device 102 is in communication with the wireless service provider, the user can activate the application by sending an application activation request, step 704, and a password, step 706, to the wireless service provider . If no failure message is received, step 708, then the wireless communication device will receive an activation for the selected application, step 712. If the wireless communication device receives a failure message in place of the activation, the communication device wireless displays the failure message, step 710. Figure 8 illustrates an alternative mode for a user activation process 800. Process 800 is similar to process 600 except for receiving a password. The wireless service provider receives the user information during the registration procedure, step 802, and an activation request for an application, step 804. The wireless service provider also receives a user password, step 806. The wireless service provider checks the subscription table 200 to see if the user is a subscriber, step 807, and if the provided password is correct. If the user is not a subscriber or is an unauthorized user, then the wireless service provider sends a failure message to the user, step 810. If the user is a subscriber, then the wireless service provider checks whether the selected application is in use by another wireless communication device, step 808. If the application is being used by another wireless communication device in the user's account, for example, used by the wife, then the wireless service provider sends a message Failure to the user, step 810. If the selected application is not in use, the wireless service provider sets the "in use" flag in the registry in the subscription table for the application, step 812, and sends the activation selected application to the user, step 814. In an alternative mode, the wireless service provider may allow the user You can access an application not only from the wireless communications devices attached to your user account, but from any wireless communications device. Figure 9 illustrates a subscription table 900 for this alternate modality. The wireless service provider registers in the subscription table 900 the user account information 902 and the application identification 904 in a register 910. In the same record 910, the wireless service provider can also register the password 908 in order to invoke the application and the identification of the wireless communications device currently used by the application 906. According to this modality, the user or a member of his family can invoke the application from any wireless communication device. When the user connects to the wireless service provider, they can make a request for the application. The wireless service provider asks you to enter information about your user account, such as your user name, and password. If the user account information and password entered correctly, the wireless service provider sends the application or its activation to the user if there is no one from the user's account using the application. In yet another mode, the wireless service provider may allow the user to subscribe to a certain number of licenses for personal use and for use by family members. In this mode, the records in the subscription table will have an active user number field and a predefined user number field. The user can choose to subscribe to two licenses, for example, from a particular application, and the wireless service provider will allow the application to be simultaneously invoked up to two wireless communication devices associated with the user's account. A third simultaneous activation for the same application would fail. The following is a description of a use scenario according to one embodiment of the present invention. A user can acquire a wireless device that has an operating system resident in the device, such as a wireless device enabled for Binary Environment (BRE ™), and subscribes to a wireless communications service. with a provider. The user also subscribes to a navigation service based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) from his wireless service provider, and registers with the wireless service provider multiple communication devices wireless devices used by members of your family. The wireless service provider allows the user to download the application to the wireless communications devices owned by him and his family members. The wireless service provider creates a record for the user in the subscription table and lists the application in the registry. The wireless service provider also registers the identification of each wireless communication device in the subscription table. For security purposes, the wireless service provider may allow the user to set a password for the application. The user can invoke the application to help him manage from his office to this client site. The user makes a call to the wireless service provider to activate the application. The wireless service provider obtains identification information for the user's wireless communications device when the user's device registers with the wireless service provider and retrieves the user's account information from his or her record. The wireless service provider uses the user's account information and application information to retrieve a record from the subscription table. If the registration has a password, the wireless service provider asks the user for the password. After checking the password, the wireless service provider checks if the application is in use. If the application is not in use, the wireless service provider enters the identification of the user's wireless communications device in the registry and sends the activation to the user. After the user finishes using the application, the user releases the application, which may be a hung signal to the wireless service provider, and the wireless service provider cleans the user's device from the registry. If another family member calls the wireless service provider to activate the same application while the user is using it, the wireless service provider sends a "in use" message to the calling device. In an alternative embodiment, the invention can be implemented in such a way that revenues for service providers are increased. For example, for a subscriber using wireless devices equipped with a removable user identification module (RUIM), a service provider may allow the subscriber to download an application to different devices if the devices conform with the RUIM of the subscriber. Generally, a RUIM serial number or subscriber identification number (SID) is used to identify a subscriber and the RUIM serial number and SID are stored on a server. When the subscriber inserts his RUIM into a wireless device and requests the download of an application to his wireless device, the server verifies the RUIM serial number received from the wireless device against a subscriber database. After recognizing that the RUIM belongs to a subscriber, the server proceeds to download the application to the wireless device. The service provider may choose to charge you a fee to download the application to this additional wireless device. The following is a usage scenario for the previous mode. A subscriber of a video game downloaded the video game to his primary handset and used this handset to play the video game. However, if the subscriber does not have his primary handset but has his RUIM, he can still play the game using a different handset. You can insert your RUIM into the handset and proceed to download the application to this handset. The handset transmits the serial number of the RUIM together with the handset information to the server, which verifies its subscription by means of the RUIM serial number. After confirming your subscription, the server sends the video game to your handset, and registers a load for this download. As described above, the service provider may place additional charges to download the application to a handset other than your primary handset. Wireless devices enabled by BRE ™ provide a service provider with options either to bill application downloads by SID / RUIM by device or only by SID / RUIM. A device enabled by BREW ™ provides a server with device information and / or an application that enables the user's service provider charges whether by application download or by application download per device. In view of the executable method in a wireless computer device of the service provider or of a wireless communication device, the present invention includes a program resident in a computer readable medium, where the program refers to a server or other computer device that has a computer platform to execute the steps of the method. The computer-readable medium can be the server's memory, or it can be in a connective database.

In addition, the computer readable medium may be in a secondary storage medium that has the capability of being loaded into a wireless communications device computer platform, such as a disk or magnetic tape, optical disk, hard disk, flash memory. , or other storage means known in the art. In the context of Figures 3-8, the method can be implemented, for example, by the operative portion (s) of the wireless network in order to execute a sequence of machine-readable instructions such as a device. of wireless communications or the server. The instructions may reside in various types of signal support media or primary, secondary, or tertiary data storage. The means may comprise, for example, RAM (not shown) accessible by, or residing within, the components of the wireless network. If contained in the RAM, a diskette, or other secondary storage means, the instructions can be stored in a variety of machine readable data storage media, such as DASD storage (e.g., a "hard disk" or a "hard drive"). RAID array), magnetic tape, read-only electronic memory (eg, ROM, EPROM, or EEPROM), instant memory cards, an optical storage device (eg, CD-ROM, WORM, DVD, digital optical tape) , "punching" paper cards, or other suitable means of data storage including analogue and digital transmission media. Although the invention has been particularly described and shown with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes in form and detail may be made without being insulated from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the following claims. In addition, although elements of the invention may be described or claimed in the singular, the plural is contemplated unless a limitation to the singular is explicitly established.
