Method and system for data management in electronic payments transactions

A method and system for prepaying wireless telecommunications charges utilizes computer hardware and software including, for example, a user's mobile phone, a mobile operator's interactive voice response unit, a mobile payments interactive voice response unit, SMS, test messaging, email, ATM, kiosk, the Internet, and / or WAP or the like, a mobile payments engine, a mobile operator's prepaid billing system, a subscriber database, a payment gateway, and a transaction processing platform. The mobile payments engine receives information identifying a user's wireless telecommunication device via the mobile payments interactive voice response unit, passes the information to the mobile operator's billing system with a request for validation of a mobile account for the user, and if validation is received, the mobile payments engine receives financial source account and user identity verification information from the user, assigns a mobile personal identification number for the user, and arranges a credit from the source account to the user's mobile account.

System and method for mobile loyalty program

InactiveUS20060259361A1Decrease customer churnIncrease customer spendDiscounts/incentivesFinanceProgram planningLoyalty program
The present invention provides a Mobile Loyalty and Community Service (MLCS) for decreasing customer churn and increasing customer spend. In an embodiment, the MLCS provides an event driven platform based around sticky accounts. The MLCS issues tokens, currencies, loyalty points and other value assets to customers based on definable user activities (e.g., purchases, forwarding promotional messages to friends, etc.), and stores these assets into customer accounts. Each of these accounts is made sticky by associating it with the mobile carrier and the customer's phone number. The MLCS provides prize catalogs where customers can redeem points in their accounts for valuable prizes (e.g., free voice minutes, ringtones, etc.). The MLCS also provides downloadable games, e.g., pay-per-play games. To motive customers to play these games, and thus increase customer spend, the MLCS issues points to customer based on in-game events (e.g., game score, level reached within a game, etc.).

Binding, unbinding and binding updating method for third-party application account and mobile phone number

The invention discloses a binding method, an unbinding method and a binding updating method for a third-party application account and a mobile phone number. The binding method comprises the following steps that (1) a user transmits a mobile phone number to be bound to a mobile phone verification platform of a third-party application account management server; (2) the mobile phone verification platform of the third-party application account management server generates a random verification code, and transmits the random verification code to the user of the mobile phone number to be bound through a mobile operator network; (3) the user receives a verification short message, and transmits the verification code back to the mobile phone verification platform of the third-party application account management server; (4) a user database of the third-party application account management server records an association relationship between an account of the user and the mobile phone number; (5) the mobile phone verification platform of the third-party application account management server transmits a service name code and the mobile phone number to a mobile phone binding server of the mobile operator through a binding message, and associates the mobile phone number of the user and the bound third-party application service name code.

Means and method for generating a unique user's identity for use between different domains

Mobile operators presently offer services on behalf of service providers where such services are really carried out for the users. Mobile operators act as identity providers in this scenario, wherein service provider and identity provider share a unique identity to identify each particular user accessing a number of services. As the number of users accessing these services, and the number of services offered from different service providers increase, the storage required at the operator's network for such amount of user's identities becomes a problem. To overcome this and other problems, the present invention provides an identity Generator device arranged to generate a user's service indicator to identify the user between the service provider and the identity provider, the user's service indicator comprising a master user's identifier for identification of the user at the identity provider, and a service identifier indicating the services to be accessed at a given service provider.

System and method for managing parameter exchange between telecommunications operators

A system and method for synchronizing operating parameters among telephone network operators, and in particular mobile network operators. Each operator operates a mobile network according to values of operating parameters maintained by the operator. The apparatus may have a device provided with connectivity to the production operating parameters and values maintained by a first operator, where the device automatically detects a new operating parameter or value maintained by a first operator and in response uses a data network to automatically cause a second mobile operator to update its operating parameters or values to reflect the new or updated local parameter of the first operator.

Payment authentication systems

ActiveUS20130273882A1Improve securityPrevent any accidental incorrect assignment of responses to an incorrect userAccounting/billing servicesTelephonic communicationPaymentShort Message Service
An authentication server and a method of enabling a user of a communications capable device to make a payment via a mobile operator billing system are described. The authentication server determines a user identifier string for sending to a communications capable device according to a probability of successful entry by a user. The user identifier string is linked to the content item data and the string sent to the communications capable device. The user responds, via a mobile network, by sending a short message service (SMS) based user response. The response is compared to previously transmitted user identifier messages, and billable user identity data appended to the SMS by the mobile network can be used to associate the transaction in process with billable identity data derived from the carrier data to enable a user's mobile phone account to be billed for the purchase.

Method and system for multiple mobile network operators to share broadcast television white space

InactiveCN102412919AEasy to useSolve the problem of non-interference and efficient coexistenceResource management arrangementsNetwork planningResource poolSystem reconfiguration
The invention discloses a method and system for multiple mobile network operators to share the broadcast television white space. In the method, use information of the white space is obtained through a central controller of one mobile network operator; when subordinate networks or nodes of the mobile network operator have a new requirement for the white space or need to optimize the white space in use, a white space use strategy is determined based on the use information of the current white space of the central controller or by negotiating with the central controllers of other mobile network operators; and the central controller of the mobile network operator executes system reconfiguration or resource allocation according to the white space use strategy. Through the method and system disclosed by the invention, multiple mobile network operators can share the TVWS (Television Broadcast White Space) effectively in the same broadcast television white space resource pool, and can coexist fairly and efficiently without interference to each other.
