Abstract
A technique involves modular storage of network service plan components and provisioning of same. A subset of the capabilities of a service design system can be granted to a sandbox system to enable customization of service plan offerings or other controls.
Claims14
A computer-implemented method for provisioning a plurality of services to be delivered to a wireless end-user device via one or more wireless networks, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- creating a filter instance designated by a user of the wireless end-user device, the filter instance having an end-user device policy state associated with the filter instance;
- incorporating the filter instance designated by the user of the wireless end-user device into a service policy component;
- providing a service plan component, including the service policy component, for delivering the plurality of services to the wireless end-user device via the one or more wireless networks;
- detecting an attempted or actual network service access;
- generating an attempted or actual network service access event, in response to detecting the attempted or actual network service access;
- matching, by the service plan component, the attempted or actual service access event to the end-user device policy state;
- and
- triggering one or more actions, in response to matching the attempted or actual service access event with the end-user device policy state;
- wherein the one or more actions include blocking, throttling or delaying the attempted or actual network service access.
A system for provisioning a plurality of services to be delivered to a wireless end-user device via one or more wireless networks, the system comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- create a filter instance designated by a user of the wireless end-user device, the filter instance having an end-user device policy state associated with the filter instance;
- incorporate the filter instance designated by the user of the wireless end-user device into a service policy component;
- provide a service plan component, including the service policy component, for delivering the plurality of services to the wireless end-user device via the one or more wireless networks;
- detect an attempted or actual network service access;
- generate an attempted or actual network service access event, in response to detecting the attempted or actual network service access;
- match, by the service plan component, the attempted or actual service access event to the end-user device policy state;
- and
- trigger one or more actions, in response to matching the attempted or actual service access event with the end-user device policy state;
- wherein the one or more actions include blocking, throttling or delaying the attempted or actual network service access.
