摘要： Systems and methods disclosed herein provide secure, efficient, and mutually authenticated cryptographic key distribution. A client or client manufacturer may pre-generate and pre-encrypt the cryptographic keys, store the encrypted keys within the client, and deliver such keys to the serving network's access server via the client, while also relying upon, if available, the authentication performed by a trusted access server of an intermediate network which the client must traverse in order to obtain access the serving network. If not available, a client password stored within the client may be used to enable client authentication by the serving network prior to acceptance of the delivered cryptographic keys.

摘要： A software download service on a mobile network provides users with personalized catalog presentations identifying software products available for downloading. Customer-specific preferences are established, for example, by input by the customer using a web-interface on a personal computer or on their mobile station, or by processing of user data such as demographics and usage history. The resulting user preferences are stored in a database. When each customer operates a mobile station to access the download service, the listing(s) of available software products are filtered and/or prioritized using the customer's individual preference(s). As a result, the service provides a ‘catalog’ of available software products that has been tailored to the particular user based on that user's preference(s). Consequently, customers can easily find applications that appeal to their interest, which improves both the sales take rate and the customer experience.

摘要翻译： 移动网络上的软件下载服务为用户提供了识别可下载的软件产品的个性化目录介绍。 例如，通过客户使用个人计算机或其移动台上的网络接口或通过处理用户数据（例如人口统计和使用历史）来输入客户特定的偏好。 生成的用户首选项存储在数据库中。 当每个客户操作移动站以访问下载服务时，可用软件产品的列表使用客户的个人偏好进行过滤和/或优先化。 因此，该服务提供了根据该用户的偏好为特定用户量身定制的可用软件产品的“目录”。 因此，客户可以轻松找到吸引其兴趣的应用程序，从而提高销售收取率和客户体验。

摘要： The concepts herein address a communication network for managing user identifiers of users accessing data applications on at least two different networks each accessible through a service provider, and providing a seamless sign on when accessing a data application from a mobile station. A wireless communication network links a mobile station with a data application on the wireless network, and a user accessing the data application from the mobile station is identified by a user identifier entered by the user. A communication network other than a wireless communication network links a user interface other than a mobile station with a data application on the other communication network, and the user accessing the data application from the user interface is identified by the user identifier entered by the user. A computer system is in communication with data applications of the wireless communication network and with the other communication network. The computer system facilitates user sign-on capabilities to the data applications from the mobile station and the user interface with the same user identifier. If accessing the data application from the wireless communication network, a computer system leverages authentication information from the Home Location Register for authenticating and authorizing access to the data application for seamless sign-on.

摘要： A prepaid communications system includes a wireless call handling device for receiving wireless calls from wireless customers, a packet data serving node for receiving wireless packet data calls from the wireless call handling device and transmitting the calls to a communications network and an administration system in communication with the packet data serving node. Upon a wireless customer originating a wireless call, the wireless call handling device receives the wireless call and transmits the wireless call to the packet data serving node. The packet data serving node accesses the administration system with identification information input by the customer to obtain a call access authorization for the customer. The administration system transmits the call access authorization to the packet data serving node, the call access authorization including a prepaid volume record indicating an amount of prepaid units available for use by the customer and processing instructions. The packet data serving node then enables the wireless call to proceed on the communications network while monitoring the wireless call and decrementing the available prepaid units from the prepaid volume record associated with the customer. Upon the available prepaid units reaching a predetermined level, as indicated in the processing instructions, the packet data serving node notifies the administration system that the predetermined level has been reached, and the processing instructions are executed.

摘要： A mobile station update client facilitates downloading of updated software. This client interacts through a data communication client, using a standard interface. The data client wakes up the update client, in response to a notification from a download server. The update client interacts with the server, to identify resident software for checking against update(s) available from the server. The server does not need to be pre-provisioned with information as to the software or firmware in the mobile station, as this data can be provided by the update client. Also, there is no need for transmission of sensitive subscriber information over the air once a connection is established, because the download client provides the minimal data needed to facilitate the checking and updating of the software. An update is downloaded and stored in dedicated memory in the mobile station. The update client installs the updated software and activates that software for future use.
