摘要:
A system and method for the provision of downloadable subscription-based software applications to one or more wireless devices (12, 18, 20, 22) where the applications are downloadable from one or more application download servers (16) across a wireless network (14). An accounting module (32) receives subscription-based application download data from the one or more application download servers (16) for each subscription-based application downloaded by a wireless device (12), and subscription-based application deletion data from each wireless device (12) that has deleted a subscription-based application. The accounting module (32) accounts for the use of the subscribed software applications based upon the subscription-based software application download data and subscription-based application deletion data.
摘要:
A system and method for controlling software applications on one or more wireless devices (12) where each wireless device (12) is in selective communication with one or more application managing servers (16 and 30) over a wireless network (40). Each wireless device (12) has one or more selectively executable resident software applications (82) and at least one software application requires a valid license (84) for each execution, and upon the attempted execution of a software application (82), the wireless device (12) determines if a license (84) is present (92). If a license (84) is not present, the wireless device (12) selectively prompts (102), either automatically or at the direction of the user of the wireless device (12), an application managing server (16 or 30) for transmission of a license (84), receives (108) the transmitted license (84), and installs (110) the license on the wireless device (12) such that the software application (82) is again licensed and executable.
摘要:
A system and method for displaying an interactive screen, such as an end-user license agreement or verification form, on the graphic display of a wireless device when the wireless device connects to a network server on a wireless network and attempts to access or download software applications and data. The user of the wireless device must then affirmatively interact with the interactive screen in order to access or download a software application or data from the network server. The interactive screen can be transmitted from the network server where the wireless device seeks to access or download an application or data, or can be transmitted from a separate server to the wireless device. The records of the wireless device-server interactions can be stored on a network server or other data stores on the wireless network.
