Telephone calls between a mobile station (MS) and the mobile network or PSTN are routed through the Internet via VoIP using a femtocell, as opposed to the traditional macrocellular network. The femtocell can comprise a USB Transceiver Station that is connected to a personal computer through a universal serial bus port, which provides both power and a multi-megabit per second connection between the personal computer and the USB transceiver station. The USB transceiver station can comprise a microcontroller to manage signaling between the RF front end / baseband processor and the personal computer, as well as a precise timing mechanism to assist the synchronization of femtocell timing with the surrounding macrocellular network, if it is present. The USB transceiver station can have a compact form factor that that facilitates a high degree of portability by the subscriber, such as being readily attachable to their keychain.

Systems and methods are described for effectively managing the quality of service provided to subscribers in a shared network on a per-application, per-user basis. A system QoS proxy, sitting on a subscriber's computing device or on a web content server, captures network calls made by an application for a subscriber and uses locally stored quality profiles to determine if a request for high-quality communications should be made. If so, the QoS proxy requests QoS from a central application manager, which dedicates a high-quality communications session to the subscriber's application, and causes the subscriber to be billed appropriately.

An age-restricted website service accessed only by a proprietary browser software program operated by an authorized child or teenager. When loaded into the user's computer, an icon is loaded onto the desktop and all other browser icons are removed. When activated, the browser program only connects to the service's host computer. The service provides access to an interactive network of web forums, photos, blogs, chats and logs and emails safe for small children. During setup, a signup menu is displayed that includes a plurality of questions completed by the new member requesting information regarding the name of the member, the age of the member, name of the member's parent or guardian, the mailing address of the parent or guardian, the telephone number and email address of the member's parent or guardian. After the menu questionnaire is completed and submitted, the member's parent or guardian is then contacted by U.S. Postal Restricted Receipt service requiring a signature and positive identification. The representative may also send the parent or guardian an email confirming that the account for the new member has been authorized. Once the account has been authorized verbally and via email the chosen user name and temporary password for the new member is mailed to the parent or guardian. The age of the member is limited to 7 to 17 years. Also, the passwords are all members are changed annually.

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which relate to billing users of a telecommunication network. A billing server is in communication with a geo-fence database. The geo-fence database contains a plurality of geo-fences. Some geo-fences are associated with a single mobile communication devices, such as a home geo-fence, work geo-fence, etc., while other geo-fences are global, such as a stadium geo-fence, toll geo-fence, etc. When a mobile communication device enters the perimeter of a geo-fence, a billing server changes the billing rate at which connections are billed to the user account or bills another user account. The mobile communication device may send a ticket code to the billing server for a reduced billing rate while within a geo-fence. If a mobile communication device enters a toll geo-fence, then the billing server charges the user account for the toll.

A computer telephony system includes a multi-platform architecture that provides a layer of abstraction between application software and hardware associated with a platform. According to this architecture, service modules residing on different platforms access computer telephony resources to facilitate performance of a variety of computer telephony services. Although local access to such resources is governed by diverse, platform-dependent protocols, the service modules communicate with one another according to a common, platform-independent protocol. In this manner, cross-platform communication is abstracted to isolate system software and firmware from hardware-based platform dependencies. Instead of threaded drivers creating a persistent, dedicated link with resources, communication can be accomplished via a common, platform-independent message packet protocol.

For users to access network services such as video streaming from a device, users usually have to register themselves with the service first. Most registration mechanisms require a user to input a username, password, date of birth and other details. When implemented through a web interface, this mechanism is relatively easy for the service provider to provision. However, the problem is that users are required to manually enter significant amounts of information which can be both time consuming, especially on a mobile device where there usually no QWERTY input device, and susceptible to unintentional errors. The present invention proposes an automated registration process that does not require a user to enter any details manually except for the initial request to subscribe to a service. The process gathers information automatically about the user and the device used, which is then stored and used for user authentication during subsequent service requests following the initial subscription request. The subsequent requests for service also do not require the user to manually input any user data.
