Abstract
Systems and methods for automated account mapping in a wireless subscriber billing system are disclosed. An external ID associated with a wireless client device is captured from a billable event communicated between a wireless client device and a wireless subscriber billing system. Then, the external ID is associated with a Subscriber ID (SID) used to communicate a billing request to an operator billing system.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- capturing an external ID associated with a wireless client device from a billable event communicated between the wireless client device and a wireless subscriber billing system;
- and
- associating the external ID with a Subscriber ID (SID) used to communicate a billing request to an operator billing system.
An apparatus comprising:
- logic configured to capture an external ID associated with a wireless client device from a billable event communicated between the wireless client device and a wireless subscriber billing system;
- and
- logic configured to associate the external ID with a Subscriber ID (SID) used to communicate a billing request to an operator billing system.
A computer-readable medium on which is stored a computer program for automated account mapping in a wireless subscriber billing system, the computer program comprising instructions which, upon being executed, causes the computing device to perform a process of:
- capturing an external ID associated with a wireless client device from a billable event communicated between the wireless client device and a wireless subscriber billing system;
- associating the external ID with a Subscriber ID (SID) used to communicate a billing request to an operator billing system;
- receiving the billing request from an external billing source at the wireless subscriber billing system;
- and
- mapping the external ID contained in the billing request to the subscriber ID (SID).
A server comprising:
- means for capturing an external ID associated with a wireless client device from a billable event communicated between the wireless client device and a wireless subscriber billing system;
- means for associating the external ID with a Subscriber ID (SID) used to communicate a billing request to an operator billing system;
- means for receiving the billing request from an external billing source at the wireless subscriber billing system;
- and
- means for mapping the external ID contained in the billing request to the subscriber ID (SID).
