Abstract
A method of selectively enabling data tables includes accessing data from a first data table, downloading a second data table, upon reaching a predetermined criteria, comparing corresponding data from the first and second data tables each time data is accessed from the first data table, prompting a user to accept the second data table for use if there is a difference between the corresponding data, charging an account of the user if the user accepts the second data table for use in response to the prompt, and performing alternate operations if the user does not accept the second data table for use.
Claims16
A method of selectively enabling data tables comprising:
- accessing data from a first data table;
- downloading a second data table;
- upon reaching a predetermined criteria, comparing corresponding data from the first and second data tables each time data is accessed from the first dat table;
- prompting a user to accept the second table for use if there is a difference between the corresponding data;
- charging an account of the user if the user accepts the second data table for use in response to the prompt;
- and
- performing alternate operations if the user does not accept the second data table for use.
A system for selectively enabling data tables comprising:
- a server;
- a device having circuitry that utilizes a first data table, receives a second data table from the server, and stores a predetermined criteria, the circuitry including:
- computer readable program code for causing the device to compare corresponding data from the first and second data tables each time the device accesses data from the first data table, upon reaching a predetermined criteria;
- computer readable program code for causing the device to operate a user interface to prompt a user to accept the second data table for use if there is a difference between the corresponding data;
- computer readable program code for charging an account of the user if the user accepts the second data table for use in response to the prompt;
- and
- computer readable program code for causing the device to perform alternate operations if the user does not accept the second data table for use.
